Introducing the She Shed: The female equivalent to the man cave

A spot to relax and re-energise, the She Shed is a must-have outdoor vista

For years men have had the man cave; a spot that is completely theirs and uninhabited by others. Now women have introduced the She Shed and it seems the outdoor trend is here to stay. A beautiful spot to put your feet up, read a good book or enjoy a hot cup of tea defines the She Shed. Whether you transform an old shed or build a new one, here’s some inspiration to create your own.
