Did you dabble with some DIY during Lockdown? Create a new Man Cave, or an Outdoor Bar – or even a wee artists studio at the bottom of the garden? Ahead of Cuprinol opening entries for their 2021 Shed of The Year competition – time for a bit of inspiration from previous winners

It means a lot to me, very much a refuge from city living and an ongoing labour of love. Somehow it connects the threads of my life; my upbringing, my love of wild spaces & nature, my aesthetic influences, my love of artefacts and curiosities, my travels and connections with Africa, my photography and finally the place in life I find myself now. Lots of metaphorical tree hugging at the height of the lockdown - knowing and appreciating what is precious!
It has truly come into its own during lockdown, as a means for all the family to escape the monotony of life stuck at home, my daughter spends time in there listening to music, my son sketching and reading and since the easing of restrictions my wife has had friends over for illicit drink parties.
