The word “shed” is recorded in English, since 1481, as shadde, possibly a variant of shade. A shed is typically a simple, single story structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is used for storage, hobbies, as a workshop or an office. However, sheds used in farms or in industry can be large. Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size, from small open-sided tin-roofed structure to large wood-frames sheds with shingled roofs, windows and electrical outlets. Sheds are often considered as the non-residential building at the bottom of the garden or the allotment. Sheds can contain a variety of items that don’t have a place in the home. Sheds come in a wide range of sizes as DIY kits. Larger shed tends to come with more options, such as: windows and electrical outlets, porches, verandas and sliding doors, as well as decorative additions.
