He said that winning the unique category is a reflection of his individuality. “The general public also voted me the winner of the ‘Unexpected/Unique’ category, which I still can’t quite believe,” he said. “To have strangers deem me worthy means a lot to me as it means they actually like what I have made. As an artist/designer, trying to make a go of things, it’s confirmation that I may be good at what I do. Plus to come out on top of the ‘Unexpected/Unique’ category suits the way I feel about my individuality too.” Wayne’s shed – named Wrinkly, Rusty And Retro – was made entirely from used and scrap materials including corrugated steel, and has vintage signage and murals.
“Everything in the build I scavenged from hard-to-come-by skip finds, junk shops, demolition sites I come across, or farms having a clear out,” he explained. “I had been collecting bits and pieces for quite a while. I knew they would come together somehow at some point. I’m addicted to old junk.” He added that the use of corrugated steel, ‘found objects and the vintage magazine advertising murals’ is what makes his shed unique. “It’s not something you would normally see in a garden, I suppose, more on a deserted, desert highway. I like to pretentiously call this style industrial, ghost-town chic,” he said.

The shed is a testament to his passion for art and his desire to create a unique and personal space. It is a place where he can express his creativity and explore his artistic vision.
He said: “It was tempting to keep going but I wanted to create a balance between the painted surfaces and the raw materials of the structure. I made the shed for my wife, Ruth. She wanted somewhere for her gardening tools and a quiet place to sit out of the elements to read and watch the garden. I got a bit carried away.” Andrew Wilcox, founder and head judge of the competition, said: “As we near the 20th anniversary of the competition, it’s astonishing to see the incredible new heights our entrants have been reaching year-on-year. At the peak of and just after the pandemic, we saw the revival of the pub shed and people getting inventive with their outdoor workspaces. This year, we’ve seen a real trend of pushing what’s possible with upcycling and getting bold with structures.
“Wayne has entered the competition with two different sheds previously, so I guess what they say is true – third time’s a charm! Wrinkly, Rusty And Retro is a great representation of the most popular trends we saw this year, with ultimate artistic finesse.” Wayne has won an overnight nature stay, £1,000, and £250 worth of Cuprinol products.
