Show me pictures of your fabulous sheds because I love looking at them!

I do love looking at them but I also need some serious inspiration for mine and I also thought it could be a good idea too have them all in one place as i've seen a few threads about sheds lately! (apologies if there is already a place lol)!

My shed is tiny at 6 x 4 but so far I have emptied it of all garden equipment and kids stuff so it is officially my guinea shed :)) hooray!

I am starting outside and working my way in by re-treating the outside with wood preserve and I will be venting it and insulating with loft insulation and boarding with plywood. I have heard bubble wrap is good for windows so thought I would give that a go.

I will be using plywood also on the floor and putting lino down for easy clean (great idea from here!). Unfortunately I don't have electric in there but I'm using some quite powerful ufo lights (camping shop) for the darker nights. It will be used to house five guineas in two hutches.

As there is no electric installed I have no heaters so I will be using the snugglesafe heatpads and using heavyweight covers over the hutches.

I hope my plans sound ok as I spend mosy evenings browsing on here and dreaming about my plans... hubby thinks i'm very sad!

Any feedback, ideas and those gorgeous shed pics are greatly appreciated... can't wait to see them!

Just an update on my progress!

Have finished my painting on the outside and have ordered my ply and insulation! Can't wait to get cracking... it's been so cold the last few days feels wintery already!

Can't wait to see your pics!

Annnd heres where its located, I recently dismantled my shed and put it up somewhere more safe and secure, unfortantly someone tried to set fire to it. So id highly recommend putting good locks on your shed and somewhere out of the public eye :)

Hope they helped any questions just ask !
 
Wow that looks great!

Thanks Audioheart,

Wow that looks great!

I love how you've incorporated a play area outside of the hutches as well, brilliant idea especially for weather like the past few days!

I've stained the outside of it Forest Green and I found an old bamboo blind from our bathroom in the garage so thats going to go up!

I've just had a new secure fence put round the garden and our gate padlocked so hopefully the shed should be ok. I can't believe someone would try and do that to your shed, theres some crazy people out there!
 
I enjoy looking at shed set-ups. ( feels like I'm developing a weird kind of fetish!) . Your use of a window box full of hay has really given me inspiration, thanks, I can hear my husband sighing already.
