...brrr a cold start to December....

Here in the Cosy Shed workshop the week began with a great Houzz review from our customer Mark who loves his 6'x6' Classic Cosy Shed in Elephant Grey. If you missed the review you can read it in full below:-

Following this it was lovely to see a post by the Shedworking blog commenting on our quirky Cat Flap accessory which reminded us of the 'taking my pet to work' trend and how we must always consider pet requirements when talking to customers about their Cosy Shed - particularly if they are to use our buildings as a home office or craft / workshop. Are there any home workers and pet lovers out there with any interesting requirements that they might care to share?

Many shedworkers also enjoy the company of their pets during the working day. So here is a marvellous additional feature from Nottinghamshire-based The Cosy Shed Co, a Sure-Flap microchip cat flap which can be easily fitted to the walls (but not the door) of your garden office.

Next up our craftsmen hit the road with a 10'x6' Traditional Cosy Shed for delivery and assembly to Buckinghamshire on Tuesday. The Cosy Shed is to be used by Terry's Garden Party guests as a washroom  - a really convenient idea when you are partying hard and the main house it that bit too far away down the estate!

Not forgetting last week we promised you we would look into why Grey was our most popular Classic Cosy Shed colour to date and whilst every one of our customers is different we did come across some good advice when considering colour in your garden. Review what we found below and let us know whet you think?

Our favourite Shedworking blog post this week was from Thursday with a story about a great collaboration between a micro brewery and a shed maker to come up with 'The Brewery Shed' - a dream come true for craft beer and shed enthusiasts alike. We think that there are lots of lifestyle hobbies that are hosted from a shed or garden building - so share your quirky stories with us....

The Brewery Shed

Garden shed manufacturer Tiger Sheds and Northern Monk Brewery have collaborated on a new project, The Brewery Shed (motto: 'Build it. Brew it. Drink it'). The package comes with the Grainfather All-In-One Beer Home Brewing System - which makes up to 40 pints of beer per batch - so you can make your own craft beer in your garden office (the first Shedworking HQ was home to annual cidermaking and the staff can recommend it).

Finally, towards the end of the week started an 8'x6' Classic Cosy Shed in Elephant Grey for British Indycar driver Max Chilton. If you missed the post you can catch up on the project below:-
