As we've often said before on Shedworking, sheds are for children too, and here's a fine example, The Hideaway from Scotts of Thrapston. Features include a cedar shingle roof with a copper finial, double doors, and a rear leaded 'peep window', and built with sustainable FSC-certified hardwood.

One of the problems with visiting Dylan Thomas's writing shed in Wales is that the public is not normally allowed inside to have a proper look (although you can get a feel of it through the window), a gripe that is also applicable to George Bernard Shaw's writing hut in Hertfordshire. However, in the video below from around the 18.20 mark, you can enjoy an actual tour of the hallowed spot.

If you haven't already done so you have until midnight on June 7 to enter this year's Shed of the Year competition. There are lots of entries already but you have to be in it to win it (£1,000 plus other nice stuff). Click the link to enter and remember you need to add six photos to make your entry valid, and if you've entered in the last five years and were not a finalist then you can re-enter. Pictured above is one of our favourite entries this year, The Coop, an art studio which is handbuilt and makes great use of recycled materials.

The Garden Trellis Co is bringing out a new range of eight garden shed designs which have been endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. Largely aimed at those who require storage, the larger models could also be used for one person as a garden office. All are flat-packed, although a fitting service is also available.
"We believe that a garden shed should be more than just a place to store tools," said a spokesperson. "It should be an extension of your home, a place where you can pursue your passions, relax, and connect with nature. Whether you envision a potting shed, a workshop, a reading nook, or simply a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our new range provides the perfect foundation for your dreams."
