Any evergreen plants you could recommend to hide a short shed?
Question:My shed is only 43inches (110cm) tall but it looks horrible so I'd like to hide it.
Answers:
A very easy evergreen shrub "pyracantha" would be just perfect for you, it produces lots of small white flowers late spring and early summer,then goes on to have orange ,yellow or red berries through the winter,it can be cut like a hedge to control height and width,but do watch out for the thorns."Pyracantha",means fire thorn.The plant will tolerate any position:- e.g. from sun to semi-shade and into a sunless place.Go to a garden centre to see different varieties.Best of luck.

p.s.Birds love the berries in winter and nothing in the way of diseases or insects seam to bother it.
Cypress...in good soil can grow almost 2 feet per year and get up to 40 feet tall and 10 feet wide

Try a Cypress or an Aprovide(spelling?) tree. The aprovide tree takes about 1 year to grow a foot, and they'll end up being around 13 feet tall and about 3 feet wide.
The other answers are good and will work but take a bit of time. You could try an evergreen clematis which will flower during summer, but this will either need to grow on the shed or you will need to erect a trellis or similar for it to climb. If you wish a crop then runner beans are a great answer although obviously this will only offer cover in Summer
