Described as small but mighty by Shed of the Year founder Andrew Wilcox, the Tiny Workshop was conceived when Robinson couldn't find a shed that perfectly matched his small garden plot. Deciding to improvise, he bolted together two sets of heavy duty steel shelving units and went from there.

The shed measures 3 x 1 x 2.4 m (9.10 x 3.3 x 7.10 ft). Two doors open at the bottom and top to provide flooring and rain protection, while the interior has been fitted with shelving and drawers, as well as a place to sit and enjoy the space.

Inside, its workbench and tool walls are made from birch plywood offcuts and there's also indirect LED lighting installed. Looking to the future, a newly planted green roof will continue to grow and cover it with greenery.

"We needed a good bit of storage for the garden necessities," explains Robinson. "Off-the-shelf options would have taken up too much room so went with a DIY design and build. I think 'The Tiny Workshop' has worked a treat. It's a creative space where I can tinker and mend, as well as have the storage space for garden stuff, kids' games and tools.

"I designed brackets for the old spanner handles with a 3D printer – they're useful and give a clue to what is inside. The green roof will come into its own in the next year or so too, and I'm looking forward to seeing it come to life – the shed really is the gift that keeps on giving! I'm so happy the judges loved it too, and can't believe I actually won."

The Tiny Workshop was crowned the 19th Shed of the Year winner by judges after first winning the competition's Workshop/Studio category voted on by the public. For his efforts, Robinson wins an overnight nature getaway, plus a £1,000 (roughly US$1,360) cash prize, and a selection of Cuprinol garden products.
