We love seeing the creative ways that people use their garden log cabins, whether it’s just a quiet retreat at the end of the garden, or have converted it into a home office to continue working while in self-isolation.
However, a caravan salesman has converted his shed into his very own pub, reports the Metro, creating the perfect escape from the house while still maintaining lockdown.
Jim Sangwell, 34, opened his establishment, Fred's Bar, four years ago, and has been paying regular visits to the bottom of his garden, where he has been live-streaming pub quizzes and DJ sets for his friends during isolation.
And Jim, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, has also helped himself to a couple of cheeky pints behind the bar at Fred's Bar - which he says he is treating as "just an extra room" for him to isolate in.
Jim said: "Everyone seems to think I've just built it as a way to still go to the pub during the coronavirus lockdown, but that's not the point at all. It's actually a lot more lonely down there now. It's just nice to have a little extra room for me to come down to and chat with the boys.
"We've been having quiz nights among ourselves, and I'll come down here and do a bit of music which I'll live-stream to them.”
Fred’s Bar was gifted to him by his friend Matt, whose grandad, Fred, originally used it as a potting shed, and it was moved to Jim’s garden four years ago. Jim scoured eBay for bar accessories and spruced up the interior with a lick of paint.
Fred’s Bar now has four seats at the bar, and Jim took great pleasure in hosting small groups of his friends and family.
