As part of the Water Treatment Plant installation we had to move a gate.
It wasn’t a particularly fine example and ended up as firewood, but we kept the knocker that had been attached.
I’d not seen it since and had completely forgotten about it.
Until yesterday. When it turned up again..
..installed on the bloomin’ shed !!
How lovely to knock before you enter the shed….will the mice be squeaking “Enter” do you think?
If I didn’t know better, the mice would be in the frame for putting the knocker up in the first place..
Lovely door (shed) knocker. We have one on the downstairs loo which is a (male) greater spotted woodpecker.
I wonder if I should have seen the writing on the wall (gate), with this one being a deer?
A nice decoration for the shed door … makes you wonder who resides inside.
Should be something magical shouldn’t it? But no, a man in his domain!
Better not let the hens see this! They will be demanding one on their shed! Wouldn’t be a door knocker though – more like a door clucker! lol!
Mike was muttering something about keypad entry… I think he was joking?
It’s perfect there!!!! I love door knockers—-that’s a great one!
(My heart did a little pitter patter….your own water treatment plant!! Hubby is a water geek—yes, we stop on trips to take photos of water treatment plants!!! )
Note the low positioning.. so I can reach..
(Click on the Water Treatment tab at the bottom of the page. I’d never thought of offering visits, perhaps we should!!)
It looks just perfect!
Thanks VJ!
Hahahaha…..how fantastic! Certainly up-grades the shed that’s for sure. I want one on mine!xxxx
His shed is next door to my potting shed, so obviously I’ll have to have a knocker on mine now too. What’s good for the goose (gander) and all that.
Bet it would shine up lovely.
Then it would be the only shiny thing about that shed. The years have taken their toll.
The grand door knocker and the steps leading up to the door make the shed look like a very important place.
The Man Shed. They’ll be a coffee machine and iPod dock in there before we know it.
And a fridge…..and an armchair……and a crate of beer…..and a TV…..
No wonder I’m required to knock..
I think it looks great, I now want one of my own!
Hi Joanne and welcome to rusty duck.
Me too… or perhaps a rustic doorbell for the greenhouse?
A fine specimen indeed. My great-grandfather was a deer keeper and I remember being royally freaked out as a child by a pair of stag antlers hanging inside the coal bunker. (Don’t ask why they were there…all I know is that whenever I smell coal dust now, I immediately think of antlers!)
Maybe that’s the only place he was allowed to hang them!
I suspect you may be right!
Or a good place to hang the scuttle.
Or great-grandad if he kept going on about the bloomin’ deer all the bloomin’ time which I understand was his wont!
🙂
What a wonderful knocker Wendy, and it looks right at home on the shed door…I have a wellington boot knocker on my shed :o)
That water treatment plant sounds interesting.

In that case, I’m definitely having one on mine.
Comment fail on IE, will Firefox work? I used to have a net curtain in the window of a shed!
It may be that you need to press F5 every time Anne (hark at me, sounding so knowledgeable ;))
I won’t ask why you needed a net curtain in a shed..
I’m so tempted to go all ‘carry on’ with my knocker appreciation, but I will resist – it’s lovely, I’ll leave it at that Julie x
Oooh Matron!

I was trying to think of a suitable ‘knock. knock’ joke including sheds and knockers but as my brain seems to have gone on stike I’ll just say what a lovely knocker it is:)
And not even mine.. 🙁
Fabulous. Love it.
I got husband to cut out a heart shape on the door of a tiny tool shed I have…
people ask if it’s an outside loo !
Oh no! It sounds lovely too..
If I cut a hole in the door of the potting shed it would probably fall down.
It’s not just a shed – it’s a man cave!
You’ve got it. An M&S man cave at that.

Check this one out for your shed! x
Perfect!!
Shed oneupmanship. One woman even..
Lovely knocker
Oh err misses
Incidently my favourite shop in York ( when I lived there) was a shop called KNOBS AND KNOCKERS
Ahhh. Knobs and Knockers.. I remember it well.
I like it !
Love the green verdigris patina.
~Jo
Thanks Jo. It has a rustic look!
Fabulous. It look great.
It will certainly be a talking point..
uh, oh….. I think you’ve started something now……. we all want knockers on our sheds…hahhahah…. although, after our renovation of the house… Mr. BV is saying…let’s put some rock and cedar on the shed to make it look good back there …. let’s paint the trim to match too… hey…let’s put a window….and I’ll say…let’s just have grand knocker please…
You should have all of those.. a shed deserves to be grand!
I can’t say I’ve ever thought about having a knocker on my shed, but yours looks great,very rustic. It definitely makes the shed look more intriguing too.
It’s nice to have a bit of humour in the garden, and definitely intrigue!
What a great knocker (the more I see the word knocker the stranger it seems. I have a wrought iron set of dogs backsides on mine!
On the tool shed wall we inherited a set of scythe blades. Which look rather macabre. I think, on balance, I would go for the dogs backsides.
Do I spy a pot plant on the wall as well? That is clearly a very upmarket shed!
You do indeed. Mike chose it himself..
Oh, I like it, a very smart shed – or is it now a smoking room, or possibly a library?! Complete with stag’s head and stuffed stoat?
Don’t give him ideas Janet, please. It’s when he starts running a data cable out to it that I will really worry. Thankfully the WiFi does not reach!
