The garden shed has a special place in the hearts of males. Often described as a sanctuary from the outside world and the other half, a man's shed could also be said to begin where a boy's bedroom leaves off, allowing him space for the prized objects and boyish dreams there is seldom room for inside the house.
In this book, author Gareth Jones examines the phenomenon of the shed, delving into the murky world of the room at the end of the garden, and meeting the men within.
Featuring structures ranging from a mock-tudor pigeon loft to a reconstructed iron age roundhouse, hobbies such as soda siphon collecting and historical re-enactment, and shed-based businesses as diverse as a funeral directors and shrimp-potters, shed lovers everywhere will feel completely at home.
