Meaning of shelter of the shed ?
Hi,
Can you help me determine what the phrase in bold italics means? Thank you very much.
Struggling against the weight of the chain and the scuttle heaped with large chunks of coal, Peter had managed to reach the shelter of the shed. He approached the edge of the flaming forge and timidly moved within arm’s reach of his burly master, who is a blacksmith.
Peter took a deep breath and struggled to lift the clumsy scuttle to the red-hot lip of the forge.

The shed affords shelter. That shelter is what he reached.
