What is a "shed"?

A shed is a small, simple building, usually found in a garden or backyard, used for storage or as a workspace. It is often made of wood, metal, or plastic and has a roof and walls to protect its contents from the weather. Sheds are commonly used to store tools, gardening equipment, bicycles, or other items. They can also be used as a workshop, art studio, or small shelter. Sheds are typically not designed for living in but serve as practical, multifunctional spaces.
