Garden Shed
However some shed owners have taken their enjoyment of the shed a step further by becoming fans, AKA sheddies.
There are websites and blogs dedicated to sheds and their owners that contain inspirational stories about garden shed conversions and even some humorous quotes from sheddies, such as:
“99% of all shed spiders are given the name Boris by their shed owners.”
“A shed is for life, not just for spiders.”
A potting shed from the Magic Roundabout series was sold for over £1000. As from 2007, there is now a dedicated week in July to celebrate sheds – National Shed Week. The climax in National Shed Week was the Shed of the Year competition, with a high quality garden shed as one of the top prizes. Nearly 700 sheds were entered, and the categories included: the garden shed, garden shed office, and unique sheds.
Over 2,500 votes were cast and the winner was a shed in the unique category – a garden shed that had been converted into a Roman Temple. This year, National Shed Week will start on July 7th 2008 and anybody can enter their garden shed for the Shed of the Year completion (somebody did suggest they change the name of the competition to The Shed Factor.)
