    Shed Features

    Our shed is JUST finished and is in a large old oak tree. Only accessible by a 9m rope bridge, it is a retreat with stunning views across Monmouth and the top of the Wye Valley.
    It can sleep 6 kids or 4 adults and has a dawn facing balcony.

    Other Shed info

    It is primarily built from local Cedar and was built entirely in situ, All the cedar timber, cladding and shingles etc were carried across the rope bridge. It is insulated with welsh sheep wool.
    The whole structure is designed to move with the tree. The branches of the tree curl around, through and over the building, framing it in strong oak and delicate leaves.
