I do hope you will join me in saying what a great effort the sheddies have gone to again this year and an amazing collection of garden buildings – a lot of quirkyness this year but with a practical edge.

Now it’s up to the shed judges (Sarah Beeny , Neil Gaiman, Alex from shedworking, Shed of the year 2011 Winner Jon Earl  and my goodself) to make the difficult decision, who out of these sheds will be Shed of the year 2012 – The winner will be announced during Shed Week – which starts on July 2nd 2012

During Shed week I will also post the Top 5 sheds in each category so that the other sheddies can see how they did.

  5. The stencil shed is brilliant! Lots of effort has been put into it! What an original idea to come up with hiding the pictures and getting the community involved buy hunting for them! It’s amazing how you paint all these pictures in your shed there brilliant!!! The stencil shed to WIN!!!!! 🙂

  6. Wow woodhenge is amazing!!! I wish you had built it in my garden, bet you have many great evenings in there!! If you have a wife a least she will know which pub to come looking in.. !! Good luck, you deserve shed of the year! All the best

  7. A small home made wooden Stencil Shed has become the successor to the magnificent ancient abbey at the heart of the centre of Malmesbury, In very early times, the first buildings of the abbey and for many centuries would have been a simple wooden building.
    Through the Stencil shed and the creativity of its builder Syd – the people of this ancient borough have united to enjoy the great hunt for ‘Elmo’
    Hope you win !

  8. Give me Woodhenge anytime,i could live in that,the owner has done a wonderful job,both practical and asthetically pleasing

  9. The Woodhenge looks something you want to enter as it could
    be your second home as most pubs have become, it’s a shed then again it’s not a
    shed.

  10. The people of Malmesbury have really responded to the creativity that has come from the Stencil Shed. It’s amazing that a wooden shed with a living tree, in a small but ancient town, has been the source of so much community fun and action.
    Athelstan would be proud of you Syd !

  11. What a fantastic Pub shed the “WOODHENGE” is, a brilliantic piece of workmanship well worth being the shed of the year.

    A lot of hard work and love, sweat n tears has gone into this building
