Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An elaborate tree house and a cabin on wheels are among the weird and wonderful structures to be named finalists of Cuprinol Shed of the Year 2015.
To make the final 12, entrants had to come top in one of eight categories: pub; eco; workshop and studio; cabin and summerhouse; unique; normal; historical; and budget.
Entries included the sleek Art Deco-style Starliner Diner, the beautifully intricate wood-carved Cabin of the Green Man, and the camouflaged Garden House, which is a replica of an Anglo-Saxon hideaway with a green roof.
The finalists are set to appear on a Channel 4 show Amazing Spaces Shed of the Year, which will help the public to whittle down the shortlist.
A panel of judges - including the founder of the competition Andrew Wilcox, last year’s overall winner Joel Bird, Channel 4’s George Clarke, craftsmen William Hardie, industrial designer Max McMurdo, and architect Laura Clark - will then name what they believe is the most impressive design.
