Cuprinol Shed of the year 2024 overall winner is the Wrinkly, Rusty and Retro

Wayne Dawber, a school art technician from Crewe, has been crowned champion in this year’s Cuprinol Shed of the Year competition. His shed ‘Wrinkly, Rusty and Retro’ soared past 160 other entrants to claim top spot, after being voted king of the ‘Unexpected/Unique’ category by the general public, and selected as the winner by a judging panel.

This year’s victor built his winning shed by combining unusual and disregarded materials, such as corrugated metal from a torn-down stable roof, and windows from a recently demolished chapel. Most striking, however, is the hand-painted vintage signs he has painted the shed’s interior and exterior with, in line with a style he likes to call “industrial, ghost town chic.”
