Shed enthusiasts have been battling it out, displaying their standout structures for the coveted title of Shed of the Year.

Among the thousands of unconventional entries are pub-inspired creations, a shed floating on skis and a converted black cab.

Almost 3,000 people entered their outdoor havens and there are now just 24 hopefuls remaining in eight categories, which include eco-friendly creations and historic-like structures.

Entrants of the Cuprinol-sponsored competition are hoping to get their hands on a £1,000 prize, as well as the prestigious 2018 title.

The winner will also receive a winner's plaque, a giant crown and £100 worth of woodwork products.


Judges had been "blown away" by this year's line-up, according to competition founder Andrew Wilcox.

He said: "I will be very interested to see who comes out on top following the public vote. It is going to be a near-on impossible task deciding who will take top honour as the Shed of the Year 2018, I love all 24 sheds."

Here are some of the structures in with a chance of winning:
