The popularity of sheds has surged in recent years, with man caves and she sheds emerging as prominent features in the garden landscape. These structures serve diverse purposes, ranging from hobby spaces to offices, summer houses, or escape retreats. Television shows like George Clarke's Amazing Spaces and the Shed of the Year competition have played a significant role in amplifying this trend. While there has been a growing demand for shed books, many have merely been picture books, showcasing the wide variety and themes of sheds across different regions of the world. To address this need, The Haynes Shed Manual emerges as a practical and comprehensive guide, offering step-by-step advice on all aspects of planning and building sheds. Written by two shed experts, John Coupe and Alex Johnson, the manual caters to the enthusiastic DIYer. John Coupe, a structural engineer with extensive experience in designing buildings across various scales, from domestic extensions to multi-storey residential and commercial developments, brings his expertise to the manual. His knowledge in materials such as steel, concrete, masonry, and timber ensures that readers receive authoritative guidance on constructing robust and durable sheds. Alex Johnson, on the other hand, is a freelance journalist with a passion for sheds. He has authored several books, including Shedworking (Frances Lincoln, 2010), Bookshelf (Thames & Hudson, 2010), and Improbable Libraries (T&H 2015). John's website secrets-of-shed-building.com and Alex's at shedworking.co.uk collectively attract around 800,000 readers annually, solidifying their position as authorities in the shed building community.
