A guide to garden shed storage

Having garden buildings is nice, but looking for something inside it, is a chore in itself. Here's a guide to help you organise it.

First, decide what kind and size of garden shed is wanted

Storage is always a problem, when a person has all the toys and tools of a hobby, like gardening. It’s pretty clear that outside storage shed is necessary, not just a shelf in the garage. Some of the tools are too large to store on a shelf, anyway. A garden shed is a huge plus for any gardener, but how to put things inside the shed, can be important, especially if there are many things. One item, which can help more than large storage bins is a stack of clear plastic drawers, or smaller bins, and more than one of these, can be necessary.

The garden shed must be a multi-tasker

It’ll save much wasted time, searching for items and the drawers keep everything nicely together, not to mention how much cleaner the shed will look. Searching for things in a mess is difficult, but avoidable. Toys can be stored in the shed as well, with simple organisation. Bicycles, scooters, kayaks, lawn-mowers, rakes, hoes can be hung on a wall, or from the ceiling to save floor space in the shed.

Make it easier on everyone

A peg-board is also very handy, as hand tools can be hung there. Drawing on the peg-board, around the shape of each tool hung, makes it easy to put everything away, seeing where it goes. Even people just helping, can see that a hammer goes where the hammer shape is. You must nail the lids to pint jars on the under-side of a cabinet, and keep small items in the jars. When finished filling the jar, you need to simply screw it into the lid nailed above. This is a great way to store small items. The clear jar reveals its contents, and storing them under the cabinet assures that they’ll never be in the way.

Metal sheds, steel sheds, wood sheds, all sheds

You must empty plastic pots from previous plants purchased, and then put in the ground, stacked with the largest on the bottom. The corners of the shed are great places to put these items. They’re light-weight, so you must stack them as high as the ceiling if necessary. They won’t be hard to move around when one is needed. A bench or table in storage buildings is a necessity, too. It needs to be of a comfortable height to work at, without having to slightly bend to perform a task. There is no sense irritating the back when enjoying a hobby. It should be large enough to work on with plenty of room, as well. Hence, you should be creative and try to think out of the box.
