Description
This metal wall plaque spells out DAD'S SHED in bold raised capitals, so there is no doubt whose shed, workshop or den it is. The lettering and the raised border around the edge have a shiny silver finish that stands out sharply against a black background panel, so the words read clearly from a few steps away. It is a neat rectangular plaque, 20cm across, 5cm high and only half a centimetre deep, with a rounded tab at each end holding a fixing hole. It has the look of classic old-fashioned signage.
Where it goes is half the fun. Fix it to the door of his shed, his workshop, the garage, a study or the spare room that has quietly become his, and the matter is settled. We think it makes a cheerful Father's Day gift for dads who love to potter, tinker and mend things. It is a lovely way to mark a new home too, when there is finally a shed of his own to put a name to. Small enough to wrap easily alongside a card, it is the sort of present that raises a smile on the day and then goes straight up on the door.
The plaque is made of metal. The words and border are raised from the textured black panel, and the back is flat, plain and a matt pale silver-grey. The two fixing holes, one in each end tab, let it sit flat against a door or wall with a pair of small screws. To keep the silver bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and wipe away any marks with a lightly damp cloth before drying it straight away. For a finishing touch, tuck a couple of small screws into the card so he can put it up the same afternoon.
