Garden storage

What type of garden storage is best for small gardens?
For small gardens, it’s a good idea to invest in compact and vertical storage. A smaller storage room, wall-mounted cabinets or a tool box with a weatherproof lid are good options. Storage benches with integrated seating are also popular to save space.

How do you protect garden tools from the elements?
To protect tools, store them in a sealed and ventilated storage area, preferably with a suspension system to avoid contact with the ground. It is a good idea to choose stainless materials and wipe the utensils before setting them up to prevent rust and mould.

Do you need a building permit to construct a garden shed?
It depends on size and location. Small warehouses (up to 15 sqm) can in some cases be built without a building permit in accordance with the rules for shelters, but it is always best to check with the municipality as the rules may vary.

How do you keep your garden storage tidy?
Use shelves, hooks and drawers to organise your tools. Marking drawer boxes and a clear division between planting tools, grill accessories and children’s toys makes everyday life easier and saves time.

Can a storage box be used as a seat?
Yes, there are many smart storage solutions that work as both a bench and an accessory box. These are popular on balconies and patios where space is limited.

What should you consider when buying plastic storage for your garden?
Make sure that the plastic material is UV-resistant and resistant to temperature fluctuations. Choose models with ventilation, lockable doors and a stable construction. They are often easy to maintain and require minimal maintenance.

How can you make your garden storage more aesthetic?
Storage can be combined with decoration. Paint the storage room in the same colour as the house, use green plants on the roof or walls and choose stylish solutions in wood or metal that blend in with the design of the garden.
