Garden sheds could be found in many gardens all over the country. They have become something more than just a place for storage, and are often used as offices and playrooms as well as summer houses. Some of shed owners have become real fans of their sheds and have created some kind of a garden shed movement. You could find hundreds of web sites and blogs dedicated to garden sheds. Lots of interesting and humorous stories about garden sheds and their owners could be found there.
There are lots of various small decorating things for garden shed owners on the market. You could find calendars that show different garden sheds on every page. They also include useful little reminders on what should be done to your shed this or that month of the year. You could also buy tiny sheds to collect and display either in your garden shed or house. A group of enthusiasts have even made a knitted garden shed with knitted walls, doors and roof. It is not for sale though.
There is a whole week dedicated to garden sheds in the UK every year. National Shed Week is celebrated in July since 2007. Although it is not a formal and official occasion, many shed owners throughout the country consider it to be a special week.
The main event in National Shed Week is competition among shed owners. People vote for the shed they like the most in each one of several categories. And the winner gets a high quality garden shed. The categories are: the garden shed office, the unique shed and some others. More than two thousand fans take part in the vote to cheer a shed they consider to be the best. One of the last winners was a garden shed converted into a roman temple. It has four plastic columns, roman window bars, mural panels and much more. The owner has even found a real amphora to put in his shed – temple.
An interesting thing is that not only shed owners are interested in such events. Mass media kept reporting on everything that was going on including the Shed of the year competition. Mainstream TV channels and radio stations told the entire country about the event. Actually, the winner shed will probably be used in a new film as a film company suggested.
So, participating in such an event could give you and your shed world-wide fame! Do not have any hesitations, take part in the Shed of the year competition! May be your shed will be the winner this coming year.
If you love your garden shed and have put your soul into designing it, let the rest of the country find out about it!
