garden sheds

Yard tool shelters

Garden sheds are small outbuildings in a backyard or garden, used for storing tools, equipment, and supplies.

They range from simple wooden structures to elaborate prefabricated units.

Beyond storage, garden sheds often become workshops, potting stations, or retreats: He spends hours tinkering in his garden shed.

The British especially romanticize the shed as a space for solitary puttering.
