Dads and grandads have traditionally disappeared after dinner to their little sheds hidden away at the bottom of the garden and this is how most people think of them. Moths and spiders stand in the company forgotten garden tools. But that will soon change thanks to the winner of the 2010 Shed of the Year contest.
In Southend-on-sea in Essex, one man has turned his humble garden shed into a pirate's paradise called The Lady Sarah out of Worthing. In the competition judged by Sarah Beeny and the founder of readersheds.co.uk, The Lady Sarah beat off 1,250 other UK sheds, after years of work. Boasting its own Koi Carp pond with decking and barrel bar stools, the Lady Sarah has its own resident parrot, and is decorated with anchors, skulls and rum bottles.
However, The Lady Sarah isn't the only shed to be attracting attention at the moment. Ian Johnstone of London found his garden shed pub The White Witch, so popular with the neighbours he's had to extend it twice, so it now boasts a full bar as well as karaoke, plasma television, pool table and fruit machine.
UK shed fanatics are also using their garden sheds as tributes to their favourite books and TV shows, with one man transforming his shed into Dr Who's tardis as a gift to his wife, and Chris Almond of Derbyshire building his shed into the side of a hillside to resemble a Hobbit hole from J.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings trilogy.
After features in the Guardian and on BBC 6 music however, the disco shed is proving the most popular of the quirky shed options out there. The shed features the traditional garden gnomes alongside a full light show, rooftop screen and DJ's. I'm sure you will agree that's pretty impressive for a tiny garden shed.
