boatshed

Dockside storage building

A boatshed is a structure built to shelter boats, typically located at the water's edge or extending over it.

Common near lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, boatsheds protect small watercraft from weather and provide storage for gear: We pulled the kayaks into the boatshed before the storm.
