Choosing the Best Garden Storage for Your Space
Whether you need a handy place for your gardening tools or a comprehensive outdoor summer setup that requires protection during the colder months, acquiring the right garden storage is essential.
Garden storage benches
Get all the functionality of storage and the character of garden furniture with a garden storage bench. An ideal outdoor space should feature a safe and secure storage area for all your equipment, alongside beautiful furniture that meets your aesthetic needs and provides a comfortable spot to sit in the garden. Storage benches do both in one.
Imagine a comfortable seating area where you can relax with a cup of tea. Then, once you’re done, simply lift the seat and store the cushions, throws, and blankets safely away. This clever design saves space that would otherwise go unused, leaving more room for plants, play areas, or a lovely bird-feeding station.
Our recommendation: Darcy Wooden Storage Bench
For a blend of classic design and smart functionality, our Darcy Wooden Storage Bench is a fantastic choice. This bench features a built-in chest with a lift-up lid, making it ideal for stowing away garden tools, children’s toys, or even Wellington boots. Crafted from high-quality, pressure-treated Chinese fir wood, the Darcy is built to last, offering durability and resistance to rot and termites. With its high, supportive back and seating for two, it truly maximises your space, offering a charming design and a clever storage solution all in one.
Garden storage sheds
A reliable garden shed is what most people think of when discussing garden storage. While the traditional shed offers ample space, it can quickly become disorganised and isn’t ideal for smaller gardens. Our garden storage sheds are simple and compact. They don’t take up too much room and feature adjustable shelving to neatly store your garden essentials.
Our recommendation: Bideford Garden Storage Shed
The Bideford storage shed is a sophisticated solution available in a range of striking colours like blue, green, and a natural wood finish. This shed features three built-in half-length shelves, along with an additional open side that easily accommodates taller items, such as rakes and spades. Made from sustainably sourced Chinese fir wood and topped with a heavy-grade felt roof, the Bideford is highly durable and designed for longevity.
Garden storage boxes
Simple garden storage boxes can be placed anywhere in your garden, providing plenty of space to store gardening tools, plant treatments, bird food, children’s toys and more. Strong and durable boxes don’t need to stick out like a sore thumb, as ours come in various designs so you can match the colour of your fence or furniture.
Choose garden storage boxes that are designed to keep items dry and well-ventilated while securing them with strong clasps and a robust design.
Our recommendation: Outdoor Plastic Garden Storage Box
Spacious, stylish, and incredibly sturdy, our Outdoor Plastic Garden Storage Box is the ideal solution for keeping your space neat and tidy. This roomy chest provides ample space for everything from wellies and tools to cushions and children’s toys, making it a useful addition to any garden or patio. Crafted from hard-wearing polypropylene plastic, it features a soft-close, weather-resistant lid. Its sleek, modern design is a stylish alternative to other plastic boxes, and for added security, it includes a clasp that allows you to attach a padlock easily.
Other garden storage options
We have the perfect solution if you’re looking for small-scale storage for a contemporary home. Our potting benches feature a rustic grey design, complete with drawers large enough to store simple garden tools and supplies, as well as space above and below for larger items. Additionally, our collection of wheelie bin storage boxes offers an odour-free and stylish solution for your bins.
Garden storage FAQs
How to style a garden storage bench
A garden storage bench is a wonderful addition to your outdoor space, and there are countless ways to make it your own! Start by selecting some lovely cushions, throws, and blankets to create a cosy seating area. Doing this creates the perfect spot to get stuck into a good book or enjoy a cup of tea in the fresh air.
The best part? When you’re done, simply lift the seat and store everything away until next time. You can also give the area extra character with colourful flowers in pots that complement the bench. If you have a young family, the bench is a great place to store their outdoor toys, allowing them to run off their energy while you relax in comfort.
What to keep in a garden storage shed
A garden shed is the perfect place to keep all your items that don’t have a permanent home within the house or things that risk leaving unwelcome stains indoors. We’ve made an essential list of what to store in a shed:
- Garden tools – They seem obvious, but there’s no better place for your rakes, shovels and cutters.
- Seasonal items – Whether it’s a boxed inflatable pool and its accessories for the summer or ice scrapers and leaf blowers for autumn and winter, store them away when they’re not needed in a spacious shed.
- Sports gear – Need somewhere to store your bike helmet, golf clubs or muddy football boots? The shed is perfect!
How much can you fit in a garden storage box?
If you have numerous items that need to be stored but don’t have a suitable indoor space, a garden storage box is a great solution. The largest of our boxes has a 1170L capacity, so your out-of-season furniture, garden tools and kids’ toys have a secure and dry place to rest. Our storage boxes are easy to assemble and spacious enough to retrieve your items when needed easily.
