I saw a book today which was all about sheds, it was called ‘Fifty Sheds of Grey’… I’m sure you see the joke, but I began to wonder about the word ‘shed’ and where it came from. It apparently is related to an Old English word for shelter, sced, which also means to shade. When I was looking this up I realised that of course there are lots of other meanings of the word other than the one meaning a small shelter or structure like a garden shed or a potting shed or a bike shed.
There is the verb to shed like a creature does to its fur, usually when you are wearing something where the hairs that are stuck all over you really show, or a tree losing its leaves, and similar to that is the geographical meaning as in watershed. Not unrelated is the meaning to repel as in something which is waterproof… a simple word which can be used in all sorts of different ways, but today, as I was going round a garden centre, not only did I see the book with the amusing title, but I also saw a lot of actual sheds!

It seems from my experience and that of my friends that when purchasing a shed or a kit to build one that when you decide on the size you will need, always go up one more size. You will find out that you have more stuff than you thought that you wish to store and there will be more to come down the road. Best advice to give new homeowners. P.S. Put it on a good solid base e.g. blocks or cement pad.
