Show us your shed ...

[miktec]

Inspired by some of the excellent entries in the recent 'Tools' photo competition, I thought a thread celebrating the heart of English* Tooldom, the humble shed, might be a good way to stave off the inevitable post-lockdown, post-summer hols, post-boredom boredom ....... etc.

It's not original, I did one ten years ago on a Mini forum and countless others had gone before and since - may indeed have been done on PFM but I couldn't find one in a search.

So here goes - my humble retreat, not looking its tidiest after a day's intensive fencing.....

I am jealous.

Many, many years ago I had a shed.
It was a useful space.

They do say that 'a man without a shed is like a fish without a miniature castle to swim in and out of...'

Since (I think) there was only one rather embarrassing picture of a shed in the photo comp, I couldn’t help thinking ‘does he mean me?’ so here it is again in all its glory...

However, what lurks beneath the trapdoor is much, much, much, much more interesting.

Of course, the allusion was there in plain sight ...

PS - 'Show us your well stocked wine cellar' has yet to materialise, but I'm sure someone will oblige

Severely jealous of anyone with the space to form even the most basic of workshop, I'd love one.

Excellent thread. We’re hoping to move soon and I’m itching to build a shed/workshop - pretty much why we’re moving

Haven't got any inside pics to hand, but this is the shed complex I built a couple of years ago.... left to right... animal feed/workshop/gardening equipment/lawnmowers/wood store.

PS Pat on the back to anyone who can see the error in the pic

Of course! - my 'shed' is actually an ex-garage (don't tell anyone though )

Concrete pour a touch too narrow? Doors hit lawn when opening?

Top spot It's only that door and **** knows why it's wrong, must have had brain fade when I made it.

Good effort, but no cigar

Is there a messiest shed competition? If so….

….here’s my man shed, converted from extended workshop. I’m in the middle of making in built cupboards and redecorating spare room.

At the other end of man shed, and not much tidier, is where the more delicate man shed stuff happens

Not yet, but unnaturally tidy and/or over-equipped sheds may be subject to a penalty yet to be determined.
