Cheltenham Borough Council removed the old Wendy House (often referred to as the shop) from Hatherley Park in the summer, due to its age and deteriorating condition and delivered it to the Unit 2 Shed to be deconstructed and rebuilt from new materials.
A small team has been working to rebuild the structure using new materials and utilising the old pieces as templates.
The project nears completion.
Warren and Graham from the BFG shed built a guitar from pallet wood and more recently refurbished another guitar. Both guitars were then sound checked and signed by the band Del Amitri. The two guitars have then gone on to help raise £1000 for Sue Ryder and £500 for Parkinson.
A team from Unit 2 have been building and installing some palisade gates and fences, made from pallet wood, to help the Prestbury Little Explorers play group to better manage their outside space.
The requirement was to produce a large chalkboard and a small “A” chalkboard.
These have now been delivered, installed and gratefully received by the community centre.

Men in Sheds have undertaken to build a covered shelter for the Tewkesbury Road Community Garden.
Initial work has now started with clearing the site ready, taking delivery of the timber and construction of the first half of the base is under way.
Roof supports and flooring underway.
Flooring completed with ramp access. Uprights and roof supports braced and roofing now on. Water butt stand and water butt ready to receive rainwater.
Well done to all involved!
With the insulation and OSB delivered, the roof and floor of the cabin have now been finished and the wood treated against the weather.
Once again we were fortunate with fine weather. Main tasks for the day were to get the roof boards on, door and window furniture fixed and hope the insulation for floor & roof would arrive (but unfortunately delayed).
We will complete the roof and flooring at a mutually agreeable time, once the insulation and OSB sheeting is available from the supplier.
Bettridge School asked Men in Sheds whether they would be willing to construct a cabin for them and we agreed. The cabin will be used as a Food Bank and second hand school uniform shop. The build was scheduled for the half term break which worked well to minimise disruption for the school and enable us ready access to the site and storage facilities for equipment.
First day of the Bettridge School cabin build by a team from the Cheltenham Unit 2 Shed. We were fortunate to have fine sunny weather.
Fine weather allowed us to leave the roof uncovered and ready for Day 2
The PATA ramp is progressing but recent conditions have not helped, with more digging out than originally anticipated.
