A garden shed is a must for anyone who loves gardening or who might want a gorgeous garden that enhances curb appeal.

With the right design, that wooden shed itself can be a very interesting visual feature in the garden and it is a perfect little place to store away all of your garden tools and accessories.

The only issue with garden sheds is that they are usually pretty small and it can be tough to keep that tiny area organised when you have so many garden tools, seeds, bulbs, fertilizers, weed killers, pesticides, and gear to store away.

In this guide, we are going to help you transform your little garden shed so you will never have to struggle to keep it neat and tidy again.

Start With a Thorough Clean

Gardening can be a messy hobby. It is only natural for your garden shed to be a bit messy and dirty, especially if you have never taken the time to properly organise and plan your little shed.

Your shed can likely do with a thorough clean. Carry everything out of the shed and give the walls and floor a thorough clean so you will have a clear canvas to work with.

Create a Lighter Interior

Stepping into a dark and musky shed can be scary. That dark and gloomy look might just be why your garden shed was so messy to begin with. If it isn’t fun to go into your garden shed, you will only end up stuffing everything in so you can get out there as quickly as you possibly can.

Your garden shed can also do with a bit of interior decorating. Start with a coat of light coloured paint. Light paint reflects light and will make your tiny shed look a lot bigger and brighter.

Next, you should consider installing more light. If you don’t have electricity in your garden shed then a dedicated spot for a solar lantern can be a very good solution.

You can now add a couple of cute plant images or posters to create a cosier look inside your garden shed.

Declutter Your Garden Equipment

Before you do anything else, you will need to declutter your old garden equipment and products. Start by sorting everything into categories.

Next, you should check your tools and toss anything broken or that hasn’t been used in three years. Give the remaining garden tools a thorough clean and grease the moving components.

You can now get to work on consumables like seeds, bulbs, pesticides, weed killers, and other garden products. Check for expiry dates and toss anything that isn’t usable or eco-friendly.

Invest In Metal Shelves

The only way to keep your shed organised in the future is by installing a couple of tough metal shelves from TopRax. These shelves are freestanding so they can easily fit into your shed and the height of the shelves can adjust so you can fit everything from tiny bottles to a big lawnmower.

Get Proper Plastic Storage Boxes

You should also get a couple of large storage boxes for liquids, seeds, dangerous products, and smaller accessories. A couple of 42 litre storage boxes from TopRax will make it much easier to keep different types of products together and will keep dangerous items a little bit more secure.

Create Clear Labels

It is much easier to keep your shed organised if everything is labelled with a clearly marked spot for each tool or item. Get a label maker and start labelling all the shelves and storage boxes in your shed so you will know exactly where to return items after using them in the future.

With this guide, and a couple of quality products from TopRax Australia, your little garden shed will look fantastic and gardening chores will become a lot easier and a lot more fun to tend to.
