Tiny garden storage?

Mander · July 2020

My garden is a bit weird in that it's mostly patio with two big steps up, and an odd narrow "hallway" between the back of the house and the first step up. There's no good place to put a normal shed. I've been propping my various tools up against the house here for years or else awkwardly stuffing them into a corner of the kitchen but of course over time the tools get ruined from exposure.

I'd like a kind of outdoor closet that will fit in this tiny gap (80cm wide) that can fit long handled tools and be reasonably weather proof. I'm looking at a locker like thing at IKEA, but does anyone have a suggestion? I saw the ideal thing at B&Q but it's out of stock.

Have a google for Sentry Box sheds. We have one ... it has shelves and OH had put extra hooks in it to hang tools from. It’s amazing how much we can get into it 😉

Snap! @Dovefromabove - I wouldn't be without mine now.

Also a garden trunk is super useful. I have one in my front garden and it is invaluable.

Maybe a UK version of this locker? I have their brand of box for my postman to leave packages in on my porch.

That little locker would be ideal if I can find something like it.

Given the price of this one it might be cheaper to get a carpenter make something to your exact specification

We're not allowed to have sheds at my allotment so we all have something similar to this which is great for storage and also doubles as a lovely seat. Some people have hand made or commissioned wooden ones in sizes to suit them. Might work on your patio if you have the space?
