The main benefits of using garden tool storage buildings include the fact that you can keep your lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and gardening tools away from the elements, secure from theft and out of reach from children and pets. Depending upon the type of garden machinery and tools you want storage for you will need to work out what size and type of garden building you will need in order to cover and secure it.
Wooden Sheds, Tool Storage & Larger Solutions
For the average home-owner who may only have a small collection of garden tools such as forks, spades, hoes and maybe some weed-killer and other garden chemicals, a small wooden shed is an ideal storage solution. If however you have a large garden or you are responsible for the maintenance of a large garden for stately home and need to store much large items of garden machinery you will need a larger garden tool storage solution.
There are a number of large storage buildings available on the market from metal sheds to buildings the size of small garages, although if you are particular about how a building sits within your garden and want something which will blend in, a bespoke garden shed is more than likely your best option. You can custom build a shed to your exacting requirements with a certain number of windows which are positioned in certain walls as to gain the most natural light and choose whether to have single or double doors which is an important option when you consider what you may need to get through it such as a lawn-mower, etc.
Water-proof Garden Storage
The great benefit of a sturdy garden tool storage building to house your tools is the fact that it keeps your tools dry and away from the elements as there is nothing worse than loosing tools to rust and mould. In addition a garden storage building or shed gives you a perfect working space if you have a hobby such as model making or motor-bicycle restoration then having a water-proof building in your garden is the ideal place for you to concentrate and escape good old British weather.
Garden Storage Security
There are a number of garden tool storage security options available on the market today, ranging from low budget padlocks, and simple security systems up to security alarms with motion sensors and halogen bulbs which flick on to alert the house-holder. Of course having motion sensors with external lighting is useful for the home-owner who uses the storage building in the evenings and early morning anyway, but being lit up can deter burglars from trying to break-in even if the house-holder is out.
