Must you have a Garden Shed?

Posted on January 26, 2014 at 6:32 pm

It’s an odd question really, but if you look around in your friends and families gardens you may find that every single one has a garden shed. Of course there are obvious reasons for this, perhaps to store gardening equipment, freeing space inside your home, and it depends on how keen a gardener you are, because if you’re not, there may not actually be any need.

Garden sheds can take up quite a bit of space, depending on how big your garden is, and some individual will install a shed, only to find that they don’t necessarily have any equipment to put in it. There are alternatives today though, and plastic storage boxes can contain ample space for a shovel, a spade a lawnmower and various other gardening equipment.

Then again, they’re unlikely to be able to store a bike, and you should consider the items you need stored in the garden before you buy a garden shed, because you may find you don’t actually need one.
