Wokingham Mens Shed

For The Shed

When we took possession of our shed in October 2019, it had been derelict for several years and was in a very run-down state. Vandals had covered the exterior in graffiti and by gaining access to the roof had torn down soffit boards and trashed Ventaxia fans, etc

Exterior Work

We spent the months from October to Christmas 2019 setting about external repairs

Repainted exterior with general tidy up outside

Interior Work

We could now start to take pride in the interior of our building

The internal of the building also required fairly substantial restructuring from its use as former changing rooms to make it fit for our purpose.

Walls had to be knocked and the floor repaired to prevent a trip hazard

You can see how much we enjoyed it and Team WMS was taking shape

Kitchen

We built our own kitchen facilities and installed a fridge, microwave and cutlery drawer

Workbenches

Ron built this first workbench from wood we obtained from a local garden centre

Barry made the second workbench and surrounded it with this clever ‘French Cleat’ system for tool storage

Adrian’s bench under construction. It will have two vices installed so that two shedders can work on either side

Meanwhile, our artist Steve, is working on a great mural embodying our interests.
