All You Wanted to Know About Sheds
Did you know that there are people deeply interested in sheds and how to build them?

Did you know that there are different types of sheds such as garden sheds, tool sheds, firewood sheds, and storage sheds?

And did you know that sheds can be big, small, made of metal, vinyl or wood? And lastly, did you know there is a Shed Design Competition for 2009?

The Contest
The folks at the secrets-of-shed-building.com website are dedicated to the construction, admiration, and knowledge of all things pertaining to sheds. This year’s contest is offering an Apple Ipod Nano mp3 player to the winner.

The Rules
You pretend you are starting your own business (or perhaps you already have) and you need a shed to store your items or use it as a small studio or work area.

What would it look like? What sorts of features would it have, and how would it fit your needs?

That’s where your ideas about your shed come in.

Would it be eco-friendly? How large would it be and what sorts of amenities would be available? After you have written a description of your “dream-shed,” the next thing to do is to submit a drawing of your idea.

Entries will be judged upon aesthetic value of the illustration, creativity, and practicality of the design. For some tips on what the contest sponsor is looking for, click here.

How the Winner Is Chosen
The finalists are selected from the top five submissions that receive the most votes on the website. From these a winner will be chosen. The winner will be notified through email.
