Shed Shelving

Having an empty shed is unrealistic, so we need to optimise the shed space we have. The key is to think both vertically and horizontally, embracing your organisational skills from ceiling to floor. Using sturdy shelving units with cupboards under, you can maximise wall space, while ceiling-mounted racks provide storage for lightweight items like tools, gardening essentials, gardening gloves or DIY items.

Incorporating shed cupboards allows for hidden storage of bulkier, less frequently used items, ensuring a neat storage area appearance for items like seasonal decorations, metal tools, plant pots, garden equipment, long-handled tools, old paint cans, gardening accessories or a garden hose.

Once you have added shed racking, and cupboards, you can go one step further and add other solutions, such as stackable storage containers, metal bins or pegboards, which can efficiently use every nook and cranny. With these thoughtful best shed storage ideas, your shed can become the epitome of order and creativity that stops you from thinking about your garden building as simply a storage solution.

A tidy and well-organised shed, garden building or summer house can improve your overall productivity and creativity. It is well-known that you are less stressed and more concentrated without distractions from garden or household clutter. A tidy shed produces positive energy and allows you to perform your outdoor activities with more dedication and a relaxed mind.

Here are some storage shed suggestions to help you get and keep your garden in order:

• Forest Slatted Tall Wall Planter - 2 Shelves
• Palram Canopia Yukon Shed Shelves x4
• Palram Canopia Yukon Shed Shelving
• Shire 2'2”x1'2” Mid Plastic Garden Storage Cupboard with Shelves

Once you have figured out the best use of your functional space inside your garden building or workshop, then you can start thinking about adjustable shelves, mounted shelves or wall planter shelves that add a practical dimension to an aesthetically pleasing storage system.

Consider the 5'11 Forest Slatted Tall Wall Planter - 1 shelf unit as a place to hang fancy hand tools or garden ornaments. You could go one step further and add an entire garden screen or seat area in front of your shed that acts as privacy screening, storage and a place for a well-earned cup of tea.

It is not just shed shelves that make efficient space. When considering your options, think about the items you intend to store and work outwards from there. If you are storing expensive bikes in your garden room, then you need a Palram Canopia Vertical Bicycle Hanger to make the most of all the wasted space. You could also hang tools and extension cords using magnetic strips, making them easily accessible but increasing available space.

Using your vertical space wisely will leave floor space for a garden bar or potting bench. This utilises all available space while creating a multifunctional place to work, relax and play in your garden.
