- Shed & Breakfast – owned by Daisy Bass in Bristol
A quaint escape that is bursting with character. The yellow structure, complete with a king-sized bed, quirky accessories and a kitchenette is a coveted sleep arrangement for many of its visitors, who often come looking for some peace and quiet. Proud owner Daisy, a stay-at-home parent, and her husband started renting out the shed as a way to generate more income. They host homeless Bristol youth in Shed & Breakfast once a month, and have raised funds for the Nightstop homeless charity.

- Hapus Yurt – owned by Jack Fetherstonhaugh in Abergele, Conwy County
Built among a lush forest in the welsh hillside and surrounded by beautiful views, the insulated shed topped with a yurt contains radiators and a fully functioning kitchen made from reclaimed wood.

- Piano Raft – owned by Ben Cummins in West Yorkshire, Saltaire
Perhaps the most unusual of all of the shortlisted contestants is this self-made floating shed. Not only has the creator, Ben, spent the past five years building the structure piece by piece using reclaimed materials he finds on his journeys, but he has also manually pulled his shed on skis from Liverpool to Leeds. If you thought that may not have been complex or difficult enough, he has also started to transform it into a musical instrument.

- Scaffold Board Summer House – owned by Scott Stickland in Thruxton, Hampshire
This sleek and modern shed is a polyvalent space for the whole family. Sheddie Scott built this modular structure by himself. He has a keen eye for detail and design and has used LED strip lighting to accentuate the shed’s geometric aesthetic. Two of the walls rotate when the space needs to be opened up, and the cantilever roof then floats above the space.

- Tudor Playhouse – owned by Craig Clavin in Norfolk
Four-year-old brothers Hugo & Ralph’s hammering skills were instrumental in creating this vintage little playroom with their father, Craig. The shed was built from mostly reclaimed and salvaged materials.

- Noah’s – owned by David Morris in Blackwood, Caerphilly
David painstakingly built this shed during a period of heavy rain, which led his neighbours to joke he was building an ark.

- Rainbow Dream – owned by Rachael Taylor in Liverpool, Merseyside
Rachael has created a creative hub for her flourishing pattern and design business. It is a far cry from the average tool shed.

- The Bush Inn – owned by John and Joy Parks in West Sussex, Hull
This was built to form part of a recreated wartime village in Kent representing pubs at various war revival shows across the UK, where re-enactors and veterans come together to play darts, dominos, cards and to exchange banter. John and Joy encourage guests to bring their own drinks, which they serve in period glassware. They also treated the floors with some beer to give The Bush Inn an instantly recognisable pub smell.

- Viking Bauhutte – owned by Chris Walter in Hampshire
Named after a time in the middle ages when craftspeople and artisans would stay in a shed on a building site – the Bauhutte – and discuss their building and design ideas over tea (or mead). The Viking motif came to life as the shed took shape and began to look like an upturned boat, which was partly inspired by Chris’s two young daughters who have watched How to Train Your Dragon countless times.

- Buenai Vista – owned by Hywel Jones in Gwynedd
Each panel relates to and represents the surrounding landscape – from the stream that runs adjacent to the house, to a nearby iron age hillfort, to the wood at the side of the house, to the Menai Strait.

- The Bee Eco Shed – owned by George Smallwood in Sheffield
A celebration of the wonders of nature, George started out building a base for a ready-made shed, but decided to create the whole structure himself. In this entirely self-watering and self-sufficient space, the vegetables, herb garden, bugs and bees can truly thrive.

- Jo’s Shepherd’s Hut – owned by Greg Whale in Dorset
When Greg asked his wife Jo whether she wanted a Chevy truck or a shepherd’s hut for their 25th anniversary, she chose the latter. Jo enjoyed the hut so much that she has begun looking after sheep and their lambs.

- The Big Top Den – owned by Steve Burrows in Longcot, Oxfordshire
Built into an old wisteria tree, Steve has created a circus-themed den for his grandchildren.

- The Admiral’s Head – owned by Lee Carrie in Essex, Chelmsford
Born from a simple idea sparked by the purchase of an original pub sign, the resulting historical shed was thriftily put together by hunting for vintage naval pub memorabilia.

- The Temple – owned by Angus Robert Thompson in Dorset
Inspired by both Greek and Gothic temples, this shed took over six months to build and is principally made of salvaged and reclaimed wood.

- Bottle Shed – owned by Lauretta and Philip Denton in Scarborough
Inspired by a story written by her primary school teacher, Mrs Arnold, Lauretta set out to build her bottle shed with her husband Philip. The space – built entirely of repurposed staircases, windows, doors and bottles – holds memories and stories from a collage of buttons Lauretta collected from her mum and grandmother, to messages and ships in bottles.

- The Limes – owned by Michael Long in London
Michael wanted to create a social space using wasted materials from construction work taking place around the city. The shed is an homage to his grandparents, and even has the original sign from their home, dubbed The Limes.

- Taxi – owned by Lee Connelly in Colchester, Essex
Lee had to knock through the back of his garage to drive the car into the garden. The Taxi now acts as a bedroom and creative space.
