Shed of the Year 2009 goes to Kite Cabin
A shed which was constructed on stilts to have amazing views of the Welsh valleys has won the third annual shed of the year award.The Kite Cabin was built by 41-year-old cabinet maker Steven Harwood, who entered it into the competition against hundreds of other sheds from around the UK.
After winning its category in a public vote the five metre square shed - which has a compost toilet room, bunk beds, a woodburner and Sky TV - was picked as the overall winner by a panel of judges.
Shed of the year judge and TV property developer Sarah Beeny, said of the shed: "The shed quality gets better and better each year - it seems more and more people are embracing the joy of sheds."
Steven said of his winning shed: "I entered Shed of the Year because I feel I have a very special shed in a very special place. The location is unbeatable in my opinion with amazing panoramic views.
"It is surrounded by nature including kites, badgers and various birds. It is such a useable space and is not pre-ordered like so many sheds these days. It is a realisation of my idea and I love it. I hope that my cabin will be an inspiration for others and what can be done in an otherwise dead space."
