When you're sitting in your garden this summer, you'll want to be looking out onto a well-maintained lawn, neat flower beds and a pristine patio. You don't want to be met with the sight of empty flowerpots, garden tools and wheelie bins cluttering up your outside space.
Whatever size your garden is, storage space is an absolute necessity. Fortunately, there are plenty of clever solutions available that will not only smarten up your garden, but also add a bit of charm.
Need some inspiration? Here are our top five storage solutions:
Keep it traditional with a wooden shed
Not only is it a practical choice, the right style of shed can add some real character to your outdoor space. The shed you choose will depend on the amount of space you have available. A bigger garden might benefit from a full-size structure that can double-up as a workshop. For smaller spaces, we have a range of space-saving solutions such as low-height or narrow-wall sheds.
Protect valuable items with a lockable unit
If you're short on space for a shed, but need to keep valuables such as garden tools or lawnmowers safe, then a lockable storage box is a good option. Our Albany Clutterbox is made of robust materials to ensure its contents stays secure. Although the Albany Clutterbox is available in a standard size, the manufacturers can create custom-size units to meet your requirements.
Keep rubbish out of sight with a storage box
There is nothing more unsightly than a wheelie bin or recycling box taking up space on your patio or driveway. The Albany Bin Store can keep them hidden from view for the days when they're not on the kerb awaiting collection. The unit is available in three sizes, depending on how many bins you need to keep hidden.
Get your storage to multitask
The Albany Gretton Open Fronted shelter is a great storage option if your garden needs some extra shade. Featuring storage space at the back and a decking area and awning at the front, it makes a great place to get some shelter from the sun on bright summer days.
Make a statement with a log store
Got a wood burning stove? Then why not invest in a log store for your garden? Not only does it keep your chopped wood protected from the elements, it will also add some rustic character to your outside space.
