Maximising space with vertical storage
Maximising space in your garden shed (or garage and other garden buildings) is a total game changer when it comes to organising your garden tools. Vertical storage is the way to go to keep everything tidy and within reach. By using wall-mounted shelves, hooks, and racks you can turn your shed wall into a storage area.
Storage for small tools
Consider putting a pegboard on the back of a door or on a wall to hang small tools and accessories. This keeps your small gardening tools organised and within reach. Another clever idea is to use a shoe organiser on the back of a door to store small gardening tools and supplies. It is a simple but effective storage solution that keeps everything in its place.
Storage for larger tools
Tool shed ideas for larger tools like rakes, hoes and shovels, wooden dowels or hooks can be used to hang them on the wall. Keeping frequently used tools at eye level means they are always within reach. A magnetic strip on the wall is also a great place to store small metal tools like pruners and cultivators, so they are safe and easy to find.
By using these vertical storage ideas, you can make the most of your garden shed space and keep your tools tidy and ready to go.
