Four-year-old's garden shed gets army makeover

11:04:20 23rd April 2010

A garden shed used as a youngster's playhouse has been given a military makeover, it has been reported.

Four-year-old Dylan from Magor in Wales is now the proud owner of the garden shed, which was styled to look like an army base.

The South Wales Echo reported that the shed had previously been used as a Wendy house for his elder sisters; however it has now been transformed with camouflage paint and netting on the veranda.

After the shed began to look "a bit shabby", and with Dylan wanting something of his own in the garden, the decision was made to give the garden shed a makeover,

Dylan's father, Rob, had also thought of making the shed look like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, before his army base idea.

He told the newspaper: "I didn't have enough wood to make the Falcon, and the thrusters are difficult to come by, so we opted for idea two and he loves it!"

Dylan has now been entered into the Shed of the Year competition.
