Shed of the year: enter your outside office, home pub or garden sanctuary to win GBP1,000

The pandemic was a disaster, and sheds provided us with the extra space we needed. “Marianne Shillingford from Dulux and Cuprinol reiterated the importance of sheds, saying that they are more than just storage. She also said that sheds can be used as a workshop, a social space, or a sanctuary. They provide us with a little piece of our own and an outlet for individual artistic visions. Every year, we see sheds be pushed to their limits. I cannot wait to see the most beautiful, unique, and stunning shed designs this country has to offer. “Danielle Zarb -Cousin was the overall winner of the Shed of the year competition / James Linsell Clark/ SWNS.
