National Shed Week 1st – 6th July 2014
Did you know this week is National Shed Week? This is a time when enthusiasts and fans of everything shed-related come together and celebrate the wonders of these little huts.
Sponsored by wood care solutions company Cuprinol, National Shed Week has been running for the last eight years and has gathered quite a following. It seems likely that this event will be continuing for some time.
The shed is far more than just somewhere to keep equipment and belongings safe. They are places where we can escape the stresses and strains of modern life. Many shed enthusiasts have modified their huts into something truly wonderful, be it a man cave, an environmentally friendly structure, or even something which looks more like a landmark than a shed.
We will be watching this year’s National Shed Week with interest, wondering how enthusiasts will commemorate this occasion.
Some light-hearted shed facts:
- When buying a house, 40% of those polled felt sheds were an important factor.
- More than a third of people between the ages of 18 and 25 want to own a shed.
- More than half of homeowners own a shed.
- Most of those who owned a shed allocate more than three hours a month to “shed time”.
