Garden Storage

Garden buildings have been a feature of British gardens for centuries in countless shapes and forms, and those focused on storage are amongst the oldest and most traditional. To this day, they remain incredibly important, with new variants meeting ever-evolving demands from homeowners.

You can easily see how beneficial having garden storage is, but once you decide to get some, which type of storage do you go for? There are so many to choose from and they range so hugely in price and style it can become hard to narrow down your options.

Below, we take a look at the most popular types of garden storage and the main benefits of each.

Bike storage – Incredibly useful, if you have a bike, these storage units give you a convenient space to store your bike when not in use and often accommodate heavy duty locks to make sure that once the bike is inside, it stays inside.

Available in a wide range of styles and materials, many bike sheds are designed to be surreptitious, blending in with the garden surroundings. They also are great for use as a storage space for bikes in the long winter months or for any extended length of time to keep them protected from the elements.

Sheds – The classic, a garden shed is a staple of gardens across the entire country, you will rarely see a garden without one. Great as an all-purpose storage solution, there are many types of shed to choose from. One thing that you should decide on early is the material you want your shed to come in. We supply both wood and plastic and you may be surprised to learn that going for a wooden shed isn’t as obvious an answer as it seems.

• Wood: Gives a classic appeal, with modern treating methods, the wood can easily withstand the variable climate of the UK, though even with regular maintenance its longevity won’t be as impressive as its plastic counterpart. Adds a rustic touch to a traditional garden and is often constructed from sustainable materials.
• Plastic: Durable and weather-resistant, if you need your garden building to last the test of time, then opting for plastic garden storage might be what you’re looking for. Available in a range of styles to fit in with any garden aesthetic, they are often better for security purposes as well. Low maintenance but often made using resource intensive processes.

Log stores – An efficient way to store a large amount of logs at your home, getting logs out of the house and into a dedicated space. Even though the log store is outside and has one side entirely open to the air, a log store is the preferred method of storing logs for your log burner or fireplace.

Keeping your logs in a log store helps to dry them out during the summer months and keeps them protected from rain during the winter months. By having your logs on a raised platform, you also keep them out of the range of pests.

Garden tool storage – If you don’t have the space for a full shed in your garden, using a tool storage shed might be the solution. These compact units are highly secure and perfect to keeping your tools in an organised space where you can easily see what is being used and if anything is missing.
