The quirky awards were put on by bar sign designers, The Two Fat Blokes Emporium, and saw hundreds of home pubs from all over the UK entered into the competition.

Paul Smith, from Rowley Regis, was blown away upon receiving the news that his home project had made the top 3.

Speaking about his award to the Express and Star, the tradesman said “A man from Weymouth won the competition but I was delighted to gain second prize consisting of the sign, bar runners, beer mats and a clock.”

"I decided to make the shed, which is about three-and-a-half by four metres square, out of pallets as a place of shelter when having a barbecue. I made it from scratch using pallets.”

"It just then turned into a place with drinks where I could entertain family and friends."

"My wife, Jayne, a kitchen assistant at a local school, and the family enjoy relaxing in the shed and being able to enjoy drinks in their own garden setting."

"I think it is the first time the competition has been held and I was more than happy to gain second place."

"Now I cannot wait for the good weather to return so that I can have barbecues again and entertain friends and family."

"I want to see their faces when I unveil the special sign for my own pub shed which was part of the competition prize”, the plumber said when speaking with the Express and Star.
