The Glasgow-based company said the shopping sheds were a safe, dry and secure way to deliver shopping to friends and family, protecting essential items from the elements and easy to collect.

They are being distributed on a first come, first served basis and can be situated at a front door or in a garden area.

“In these unprecedented times, delivering food and essential supplies to loved ones is difficult, said Shedman’s managing director William Roddie.

“To solve this problem the creative minds at Trend Differently, together with our master builders here at Shedman, have designed and built 100 small shopping sheds to help the most vulnerable in our local communities.”
