Garden Shed

Men's Sheds

Men’s Sheds (or Sheds) are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending.

 

The difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Men’s Sheds are the opposite.
