toolsheds

Backyard equipment huts

Toolsheds is the plural of toolshed—a small outbuilding for storing garden tools, lawn equipment, and other outdoor implements.

The word functions as a single compound: The toolsheds behind the houses were all painted the same dull green.

A toolshed is typically a modest wooden or metal structure, simpler than a garage or barn.
