By planning correctly, your garden tool shed can be well organized and have all of your tools located for your convenience.
By following these tips, you can convert a formerly messy garden tool shed into an efficient one.
What do you really need in your garden tool shed? It seems as if we end up storing almost everything in the shed. It may be mechanical devices such as weed eaters or workshop tools. We store paints and chemicals. In very short order, we can have a real mess. By making a list of the things that actually belong in the tool shed, you can find a configuration that is most convenient for you.
A garden shed is the ideal place to store bulky large pieces of equipment used in the garden and lawn, including lawn mowers. You do not want to constantly have to move those bulky pieces of machinery to get to the smaller items. Things that are used frequently need to be stored close to the entrance. Sheds that have both front and back doors give easier access to all the tools.
By dividing a tool shed into zones, you will be able to designate storage spots for every item that needs to be in the shed. If necessary, build partitions in the shed to keep items such as kids toys and tools separated. Use shelves, bins and hooks in order to provide homes for each and every item that needs to be in the tool shed. If you have items around the home that can improvise use them, otherwise, purchase them from the hardware store.
Since safety is a concern, then you should be sure that you keep your tool shed locked. Many lawn and garden chemicals are toxic and tools can be dangerous. If you cannot keep the shed locked, then install locking cupboards to keep those items safely locked away.
One key to keeping a garden tool shed organized is regularly cleaning and throwing out items that are not needed. If you have tools that you do not use, offer to give them away. If broken household items have migrated to the tool shed, either fix them and return to the house or throw them away. Items that do not belong in the tool shed need to find another home.
Shovels and rakes need to be stored up off the floor. Standing them in a corner takes more room but hanging them on hooks makes more floor space that is often needed. Check for hooks to store these tools at your local hardware store.
