What is in your Shed?
There are standard things that most people keep in their garden shed, but rather than filling your shed to the brim with junk and boring stuff, why not invest in some garden storage and free up your shed space for something a little more fun?
What do you keep in your shed?
Here are some of the most popular items that people keep in their trusty garden sheds:
Gardening tools
Lawnmowers, strimmers, shears, and spades are best kept outdoors so that you don’t end up trailing mud into your home. If your equipment is expensive, consider having a metal shed, or one without windows, to make sure that it’s secure.
Garden furniture
Keeping furniture inside can protect it from getting too weather-beaten and it will keep it looking its best for longer.
Tool Shed
If you consider yourself a DIY buff. You are likely to have a vast array of tools and your shed is the perfect place to store them and keep them well organised.
Outdoor toys
Trampolines and other outdoor toys are popular on summer days. The changeable UK weather means that they can’t be kept outdoors all the time, so store them in the shed for easy access. Do keep them away from sharp tools or hazardous substances like weed killer though.
