Outdoor Storage Solutions For Your Backyard

Everyone aspires to have a tidy, organized backyard that they can enjoy. A well-maintained garden will likely increase your desire to spend more time relaxing outdoors. It is also likely to increase the value of your property – no one wants an unlivable outdoor area!

There are many different types of outdoor storage solutions that may help to tidy up your backyard and provide the much-needed space for you to enjoy the outdoors.

The Traditional Garden Shed

A garden shed is an obvious choice when it comes to outdoor storage solutions. There are many different styles of sheds that allow them to fit into different spaces. If you have a larger backyard, you might want to look at a more traditional gable roof shed. For those with smaller spaces to work with, a skillion roof or flat roof shed might be a better choice as it allows you to slot them in nicely under roof eaves or against walls in tighter areas. Sheds generally come with a single or double hinged door, however, in some cases, you can also get sliding doors which makes it perfect for narrow areas.

Garden sheds are a great way to store away any gardening equipment, lawn mowers, power tools and bulky items. We highly recommend considering some shelving solutions for your shed so that you can neatly place your items away – we’ve all seen sheds overflowing with items before and it doesn’t make it easy to access your items!

A Compact Bike Shed

If you are after something a bit smaller to store away your bicycles, a bike shed might be the perfect choice for you. These are generally more slimline sheds that make it easy to access your bikes and provide protection from the weather.

While these generally are used to store bikes, they are multi-purpose and can be used to store anything you can think of! We’ve seen people use these to store away pool toys, firewood, gardening equipment, you name it, it will be safe in a bike shed.

Slimline Bin Covers

Wheelie bins can be quite the eyesore in your backyard. Bin covers are a great way to keep these concealed from sight. These generally come with double opening doors and a hatch roof so that you can easily access the bins from the top.

Large Sheds For Big Backyards

If you’ve got a bit more space in your backyard and consider yourself quite handy around the home, you may want to consider a larger shed. They can serve a dual purpose – large enough to set up a workbench, as well as an area to store your equipment, lawn mowers, small boats and other household items. Perhaps you just want to set it up as a retreat from the main house and use it as an area for your hobbies.

You may find that these types of sheds can be taller in height and may also come with wide front access doors and a side access door that make it easy for you to access your items.

Patios For Entertaining

While patios are not a traditional storage solution, it may be worth considering for your outdoor area as it will provide added protection and undercover space to your outdoor entertaining area. It will give you peace of mind that your outdoor furniture will be protected from the elements when not in use while also providing shade so that you can enjoy entertaining outside. Consider a cost friendly option that you can personalise in the classic Absco Single Skin patios, or upgrade for a more polished look with an insulated option.

Raised Garden Beds

We’ve all seen the overgrown pot plants lying around outside. Instead, why not plant them into a raised garden bed? Raised garden beds are a practical and neat way to tidy up your backyard and come in a variety of colours to match your space. They are easier to maintain than planting into the ground and look great in your garden.
