Men love their sheds

We all know the garden shed is associated with men, pottering away inside and distracting themselves from the outside world. A recent survey carried out by Cuprinol has found some interesting statistics on men and their sheds. A man's shed has always been associated with an ‘escape’ or ‘haven’,  a special place that men can have all to themselves.

This survey has revealed that:

·     

65% of Britons own a garden shed and out of those surveyed it was found that 21% of men flee to their shed to avoid family arguments.

12% of men also admitted to preferring time spent in the shed compared to time with their families. 

     49% of those surveyed said they would be lost without their shed

     6% said that they would like to be buried inside their garden shed
