The versatility of the humble garden shed
A 6 x 4 foot garden shed can be bought from the internet for around £120, and the householder may prefer the supplier to both deliver and assemble the shed. The supplier will probably charge extra for the assembly and it would be advisable to establish how much this will cost before making a decision. Most reputable DIY companies have websites and it may be advisable to use them.
No matter what size the shed, it can always be utilised to maximise its potential as a storage area with a few simple adjustments, such as storage racks. The inside of the door, for instance, would be ideal as a hanging area for the storing of garden tools with the use of hooks firmly secured to the door.
Larger sheds may be divided into areas in which to use work benches or work tables. Work benches with integrated drawers and cupboard space are a good idea to store away a tool box, cans of paint, paint brushes and bottles of turpentine. The drawers will be handy to contain spare fuses, candles and other miscellaneous items.
Above the work bench, shelf racks could be fixed to the wall. The racks are versatile as the metal shelves attached to them may be adjusted to suit the needs of the owner.
The areas of the shed not occupied by a work bench will be ideal for storing heavier gardening equipment such as lawn-mowers or wheel-barrows. Fold away garden furniture might be hanged on the far wall of the shed.
