The backyard shed: is it the place you feel you need to wear a helmet to safely enter? If the shovel you need is at the back of the shed, are you willing to purchase a new shovel rather than climb all the way to the back to fetch the tool you need? If you find yourself not even bothering to lock the backyard shed anymore in the hope that a burglar might steal some of the junk and make it easier for you to access the things you need, it may be time to give Garage Décor and More a call.
The backyard shed is an extension of your home. It can free up a great deal of space in your garage or basement storage, but only if it is organized properly. If the proper amount of time and resources are put into the backyard shed, there may finally be room in the garage for your second car. Perhaps this will free up space in the basement for the New Year’s resolution exercise equipment you just couldn’t find space for. A well-organized backyard shed can even serve a secondary purpose as a workshop, studio or “man cave” space. Or, the relatively new term, “She-Shed” comes to mind as well! Is that backyard shed needing some TLC? It may be time to organize it!
To begin the organization process, empty the shed. Yes, completely emptying the shed will help determine what’s even in it! Next, make sure you have the right items in your shed. These should be items that you need, of course, but items that are not used on a daily basis. When the shed is empty, it will also be easier to inspect the space. Any leaks or holes should be repaired immediately. Further, ensure the door of the shed is in proper working order. It’s important that the shed you are spending time organizing is in good shape because you will not want to go through the hassle of organizing it to only find it’s in disrepair, potentially damaging the items you are trying to keep.
Once you separate the items to keep and the items to part with and confirm the shed is in good condition, it’s time to consider the storage solutions for the shed space. These solutions vary on a case-by-case basis and should be specific to your storage situation. The products you may want to use to organize your shed vary depending on the goals of the shed’s unique space. Regardless, we have options for you! Slat walls by StoreWall are ideal organizers for garden tools and slat box shelving, offering solutions that makes it easier to see what you’re looking for, as soon as you enter the shed. Enclosed cabinets, like ones from Redline or Contur, can be used for storing items in-style and unseen. Our storage solutions will ensure your shed is being used to its fullest potential.
Gone are the days of a pile of odds and ends in the center of the shed! It’s time to use the full square footage of the space. Stack and store upward rather than strictly on the floor of the space to allow for considerably more efficient storage as well as an easier path to access the items when they are needed. Depending on the structure’s size, overhead Hyloft Storage Racks may even work for you.
