The Tasker is Blackdown's flat pack shepherd hut kit, designed for competent DIY builders who want the Blackdown aesthetic without the full bespoke price tag. Available in four sizes from 12ft to 18ft, the kit arrives with pre cut components and video build instructions. It is a genuine self build project, not just assembly, and suits anyone with woodworking skills who wants the satisfaction of constructing their own hut.
In a market where most shepherd huts are either fully bespoke (and expensive) or cheaply mass produced, the Tasker occupies an interesting middle ground. The materials and engineering come from the same Somerset workshop that produces Blackdown's hand built range, but the labour cost is removed. It is a credible route into shepherd hut ownership for those with the skills and time to take on the project.
We love the concept: Blackdown's engineering and materials, but the build is in the owner's hands. It is the most hands on way to own a quality shepherd hut.
