A SHED enthusiast from Blandford has made the shortlist in a Shed of the Year competition.
Kate Seeger, owner of the ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ shed in Blandford, has made the final three in Cuprinol’s ‘Budget Shed’ category.
“Perfectly Imperfect” is a colourful space from which Kate runs the Blandford Arts Forum.
A spokesperson for the competition said: “Shed of the Year is a celebration of the great British shed in all their forms, and this year the much loved competition is celebrating its 16th year! From the miniature to the massive, the modern to the traditional, the cosy to the minimal and everything in between - you'll find sheds of every shape, size and function in the annual competition”
Head judge and founder of the competition, Andrew Wilcox, was so impressed with the calibre of entrants this year, and said: “We’ve seen some first-of-their-kind designs, making it nearly impossible to whittle down to just three from each category. One great thing that has come from successive lockdowns is how much it has inspired people’s creativity, and it’s great that this has been channelled into the design of their own little escapes.
“These past years, more than ever, have shown just how much a role our gardens and sheds can play in our lives and the different ways they can be used. It’s been great to see shed enthusiasts old and new come up with some truly fantastic ideas, which we hope will inspire the next generation of shed enthusiasts.”
