Servicing
the Central Coast, Custom Sheds specialises in supplying cost effective shed
solutions for commercial and residential purposes. We’ve operated in the
industry for many years and the reason we’ve become such a trusted name is
because of our versatility. Whether you’re looking for an inexpensive, small
shed that you can have installed with minimum fuss, or you’re after a dwelling
build specifically for you needs, we can help you out.
If
you’re like us, having and working in a shed is an important part of being a
bloke. You might consider it a generalisation, but it’s fair to say that the
shed is the man’s domain. It’s the place we go when we want to be along and
mull things over. Women generally take control of the home and choose to
decorate it in a certain way; flowery wallpaper and drapes come immediately to
mind. But the shed is purely a functional place full of tools and not decorated
to any great extent. It is untouched by the woman of the house and in many ways
acts as an escape, a refuge - if you will - for the common man.
This
notion has been explored in Australia and throughout the UK, as health experts
have been setting up communal sheds for middle aged men to get together, do
some handiwork and chat about their health. The idea has been to create a
relaxed environment where men feel at home and comfortable enough to face facts
about their own health.
Older
men, who often have a lot of time on their hands to take things a part, fix
things (or try to) and perform all manner of jobs around the house, can be
quite reluctant and sceptical about their need to visit a doctor. These
communal sheds allow these men to do what they love doing while gaining a
perspective on their own wellbeing and what they need to do to remain healthy. Frankly, we commend the idea. It’s great because it harnesses men’s love of sheds and physical labour and uses it to communicate important health message to them. We tip our hats!
