Description
This metal sign plaque reads Grandad's Shed in bold raised lettering, giving a much-loved hideaway a proper name of its own. It is a rectangular plaque in shiny silver metal, with a slim raised border framing the words and a rounded tab at each end. Dark flecks across the bright surface give it a worn, lived-in look, as though it has hung in place for years. Its face measures 14.9cm along the longer side and 4.4cm along the shorter, and it is 1.2cm deep, so it sits neatly on a door or a narrow strip of wall without crowding it.
Every grandad with a shed, a workshop or a garden den deserves a sign to mark it as his, and this one says it with a smile. Fix it inside the shed above the workbench, on the door of a workroom or beside the potting bench, wherever he spends his quiet hours with his tools and his radio. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift for a grandfather, and a cheerful housewarming present when grandparents move to a home with a shed to call their own. It is the sort of present that goes up the same afternoon and gets pointed out to every visitor.
The plaque is made of metal with a shiny silver finish, the lettering and border standing proud of a textured background so the words catch the light. Two fixing holes, one in each end tab, take a small screw apiece, so it sits flat and firm against a timber door or a wall. To keep it bright, we suggest dusting it with a soft dry cloth now and then, or wiping it over with a damp cloth and drying it straight away. Wrap it with a card signed by the grandchildren and it becomes a present he will smile at every time he heads out to potter.
