Re: Spider-proof sheds
I have spiders in me shed and I wouldn't be without them, any stray fly who pops in during the day has had it, my spiders mind their own business and always stay out of sight when I'm working there, yes they are very considerate and polite, all they're short of saying is "Good morning Jem we're off now to leave you to work in peace" I have spiders of quality in my shed, plus they have always been very lucky creatures for me.I don’t forget to reward them for their loyalty, I have pinups of naked female spiders for the males, and beefy male spiders for the females and those who can’t make up their mind. I leave the door open every so often to let their dinner fly in, they really appreciate that.

I think you've spent too much time locked in your shed, Jem.

Re: Spider-proof sheds
What about conkers ? they are supposed to repel spiders.I was bonkersly terrified of spiders (learned behaviour from Mum).
Not great with them now but, usually, things are manageable *looks shifty*
As a twelve year old, I spent one holiday with parents near Bigbury on Sea ... yikes.
The chalet was infested with spiders !!!
Dad bought stuff to get rid of them but it made the situation worse

Re: Spider-proof sheds
I used to have a real horror of spiders until my children came along and they were even worse than me, and still are, but it completely cured me, I don't in the least mind them any more, I had one that lived behind my bathroom hand basin, and would come out at night, but I haven't seen it in a while. Either it's died from lack of food, or gone to pastures new.The shed I bought last year is a Tiger Shed, but not a spider free one. Though I can't say I've ever seen one there.

All joints are silicone sealed, it has airtight windows with toughened glass, and an air-tight door with a special seal that prevents creepy crawlies from getting in.
The interiors are lined with a special 'spider repellent lining paper, and it is has a sky blue exterior because they say it is a colour which repels spiders.
With a heavy duty polyester-backed felt roof and a fun "No Spiders" sign on the front door, the shed is complete.
If this appeals to you, all you've got to do is fork out £1,999 and it's yours!!
I still think I would rather have the spiders, Mups !!

Personally I don't mind spiders. well apart from those on the web anyway.

It was probably my fault there are so many, as each time one got into the house it would be banished to the bottom of the garden & those have taken up residence in the shed & bred there.
If I ever pluck up courage to sort said shed out. I think I'll paint all the walls blue.
