Are you looking for a practical and functional shed? However, with all your picks, shovels, sanders, etc., your shed can quickly turn into a junk room! So how can you organize your garden shed to save space? These few ideas will help you see things more clearly!
Which garden shed should you choose?
First, you need to determine the size of your shelter:
Less than 5 m²: storage for garden equipment and tools (buy online)
Less than 10 m²: storage for garden furniture, bicycles, sports equipment, etc. (buy online)
More than 10 m²: possibility of creating a workshop or a new living space (office, lodge, etc.) (buy online)
Please note that for garden sheds larger than 5 m², a concrete slab is required. However, Grosfillex has developed slab kits for garden sheds measuring 4.9 m², 7.5 m², and 11 m² to make your life easier.
How to set up your garden shed?
First, get into the habit of putting your tools away after you've used them!
To achieve this, dedicate a specific space for each type of equipment:
- Set aside a corner for garden furniture and cushions,
Another for tools, gloves, and boots,
And a final one for potting soil, planters, etc. - And if you have trunks or chests, remember to label them so you can find them more easily.
Sturdy and smart storage solutions for your shed
Certain storage items have been specially designed to optimize storage in your garden shed:
- Utility cupboards are particularly suitable for storing heavy items such as paint cans, plaster, etc.
- Open shelves, on the other hand, are ideal for storing the tools you use most often.

Storage and shelving for your garden shed
Also consider using height; often overlooked, it offers valuable storage capacity.
Use shelves that are adjustable in width and height or that can be attached to each other and adapted to any configuration with high resistance.

Finally, add a few small storage solutions such as coat hooks. You can hang your rain gear, work clothes, and anything else that doesn't belong inside the house!
Do you need permission to install a garden shed?
Check with the public services and your local town hall to find out whether or not you will need prior authorization to install your shelter.
