Collective Noun for Garden Sheds?

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?

Not sure if this counts...
A SHED LOAD of heaven ( if you're a bloke) or hell ( if you're a shed widow).
What is it about men and sheds. My mates hubby was well upset when Mr. Hellfire outshedded him.

I've just realised...! I've been immortalised in comment.
Or is that just a ploy to make me read comment on the first of the month?

Many thanks for the contributions

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.

You'll have to wait till Tuesday to read the remainder and see the context.
