Thought I'd throw this one out to see if I get any good suggestions.
I need a collective noun, preferably humorous, for a large group of garden sheds.
No prizes for the winner, beyond a possible mention in Tuesday's Comment.
Any offers?

What is it about men and sheds. My mates hubby was well upset when Mr. Hellfire outshedded him.

You'll have to wait till Tuesday to read the remainder and see the context.Comment wrote:I've put out various enquiries amongst the more intelligent members of the wordy world. So far, the best suggestions include a "panel" of sheds from a Mr H of The Borders; an "estate" of sheds from a Mrs B of Cornwall; and even, rather appropriately, an "allotment" of sheds from a Mr G of Sussex.
