Its main colours are turquoise and orange with hand painted and stencilled mandalas, tree of life, Peacocks and yogic symbols, bunting, wind chimes and much more.#xd;#xa;It wraps you in a warm, loving hug making you feel safe and protected.. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=9001 Work and place and a outdoor evening entertainment area for all the family. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8999 Our shed is more than just a chicken house - it is a peaceful retirement retreat created especially for our rescue hens, including our beloved 9-year-old, Broody, who deserves the very best in her golden years. Every detail has been designed around their happiness, comfort and wellbeing. Inside, they have a dedicated enrichment area with a sand pit, complete with a recycled tyre for digging, scratching and perching, as well as a mirror for curious hens who enjoy admiring their reflections! It also features a beautiful window-level viewing shelf, giving our hens the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. At the heart of this shelf is a Maldives-inspired mesh relaxation hammock - a little luxury hideaway where they can lounge, rest and enjoy the sunshine. The shed houses a spacious coop suitable for up to nine chickens, alongside two electric fans to keep them comfortable during warmer weather. Even better, the entire shed is powered by solar energy, making it a sustainable little haven that works in harmony with nature. We have installed a dedicated high-level shelf for accessories and medical care, because rescue animals often need a little extra attention. The hygienic vinyl flooring, specialist edging and easy-clean design allow us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our girls. The fawn-coloured finish gives the shed a warm, natural feel, while windows on three sides flood the space with natural light and allow our hens to enjoy views of the garden around them. To ensure they remain comfortable throughout the changing seasons, the windows are fitted with specially designed blinds, allowing us to control the amount of sunlight, warmth and privacy inside the shed whenever needed. A beautiful stone border surrounding the base acts as a natural drainage system, helping to prevent flooding, while guttering collects rain into a water butt so we can reuse it to nourish the surrounding fruit trees and plants. Our custom-built chicken access door is seamlessly integrated into the main shed door, allowing our hens to safely come and go throughout the day while keeping their sanctuary secure. The hinged design can be closed and locked at night, providing extra protection and peace of mind while giving our girls the freedom and independence they enjoy. This shed represents everything our rescue hens deserve: comfort, freedom, enrichment and a place where they can truly feel at home. It is a little sanctuary built with love - a reminder that every animal, no matter their age or past, deserves a second chance at a wonderful life.. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8998 The Little Brown Jug has been built to feel like a proper small Irish country pub, not just a bar in a garden shed. It has beer and cider on tap, over 100 spirits, regular live music nights and quiz nights, all surrounded by authentic Irish deacute;cor that gives it a warm, traditional feel.#xd;#xa;#xd;#xa;A huge amount of time and effort has gone into getting the details right, with months of late nights spent building, decorating and changing things to make it feel as authentic as possible. The aim has always been to create somewhere with real character, a cosy, welcoming pub full of music, drinks, laughter and the atmosphere of a little Irish local.. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8997 A shed#x2f;barn experience out of the ordinary#x21; When two people find each #xd;#xa;other later in life, it#x27;s often a problem what to do with one#x27;s memories #xd;#xa;and treasures from a previous life. This garden shed, or strictly speaking, #xd;#xa;a Dutch Barn, was the answer - and it has gone on to become an art #xd;#xa;gallery, music venue, meeting place and a totally relaxing haven for #xd;#xa;family, friends and neighbours.#xd;#xa;#xd;#xa;The #x27;barn#x27; experience begins outside as I invite visitors to view the art #xd;#xa;works of Dame Laura Knight, Walter Sickert and Jackson Pollack. This is #xd;#xa;an ever changing part of the experience as the pictures are changed #xd;#xa;every month#x29;. Once inside, and seated on the very comfortable leather #xd;#xa;recliner or tub chair, one can enjoy a homage to Costa Rica - my one #xd;#xa;time home, the wonder of trains #x28;with a fully functioning train layout on #xd;#xa;a raised shelf#x29;, a trombone and saxaphone, #x28;I play each one depending #xd;#xa;on my preference of the day#x21;#x29; an esoteric collection of lava lamps and #xd;#xa;mood lighting dating from the 1960s, 20th century art, photographs and #xd;#xa;collectables - each with meaning and purpose - not to mention, a very #xd;#xa;nice selection of scotch for my visitors to enjoy#x21; To further help the barn #xd;#xa;experience along there is a lovely music system in place, and, as it#x27;s #xd;#xa;World Cup time of year, a table football game to play. WiFi is also #xd;#xa;provided to watch movies#x21; The #x27;Pura Vida#x27; barn is air-conditioned in #xd;#xa;summer and heated in winter, making it an all year round experience#x21;#xd;#xa;#xd;#xa;The #x27;Pura Vida#x27; barn has become a solace for myself, a meeting place for #xd;#xa;friends and family and an arts centre to be enjoyed by all#x21;. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8995 Living near the coast, I wanted a compact beach hut style shed. Its position means it stays cool, so itrsquo;s ideal for escaping the heat.#xd;#xa;Featuring its own drinks trolley, itrsquo;s the perfect place to sit, look out at the garden and enjoy a wine or two.. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8994 Our shed is a true self-build project, designed and built by my husband over the course of more than a year. It was created to support our dream of living more creatively and sustainably in the Somerset countryside.#xd;#xa;Although still a work in progress, it already serves as my potting shed and growing space, where I raise hundreds of vegetable, herb and flower seedlings for our self-serve plant stand. It is a place of inspiration, learning and connection with nature.#xd;#xa;Built with practicality and beauty in mind, the shed is insulated, filled with natural light and designed to evolve alongside our changing needs. Inside, we have also created a small pantry where we store our homemade wines, elderflower champagne and seasonal preserves made from produce grown in our own garden.#xd;#xa;It is much more than a storage space ndash; it is the heart of our garden projects and a reflection of our family#x27;s creativity, self-sufficiency and determination.. ]]> 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8993 The shed is a colourful addition to the garden and a fabulous place to store tools and garden furniture.. 02/Nov/2026 http://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHARESHED=8991 Tiny Pub Shed - small 8ft by 4ft shed tucked away at the end of a private garden, renovated into a cozy pub. Maximizing the limited space with a small bar. Green walls, stained wood and Guinness breweriana giving Irish pub vibes. The bar has 2 hand pumps for cask ale and a surger font and room for bottle storage. There is a surprising amount of room with stools for at least 5 to sit by the bar and a television and Wi-Fi for added entertainment. A very basic exterior to contrast the vibrant cozy interior.
