In winter, we store the garden furniture in the garden shed.
The word is a clear compound of 'Garten' (garden) and 'Haus' (house). The 'n' between them is a linking -n that connects the two words. So it is literally a house that stands in the garden.
Das Wort „Gartenhaus“ beschreibt genau, was es ist: ein Haus im Garten.
The word 'Gartenhaus' (garden shed) describes exactly what it is: a house in the garden.

Wir gehen jetzt ins Gartenhaus, um die Stühle zu holen.
