Shed of the Year 2010 – Joseph Sandy’s Entry
One of my long time readers, Joseph Sandy, is one of the contenders in the Shed of the Year competition. Here’s what Joseph says about his shed:
Originally designed for storage, it now also serves as a quiet retreat from the main house. It features rain-screen siding of reclaimed redwood fencing. A polycarbonate clerestory provides ample light for any use. The interior walls are plywood and pegboard to provide a finished appearance with flexible use/storage options.
Porch Shed Competition
The entry deadline has passed and the competition is on at the Secrets of Shed Building. Be sure to leave comments at the Secrets of Shed Building website on the designs you like most since reader comments count in the jury process. Pictured here is my entry, the Glass Porch Shed. Below is my walk-through video.

Winner of 2009 Shed Design Competition
The Open Office, designed by Kenny, won the 2009 shed design competition at Secrets of Shed Building. One of the key features of this garden office is a set of sliding wood panels mounted to a rail system on the exterior of the building. They serve to block sunlight as well as provide privacy when needed. Congratulations Kenny!
