Get your shed ship-shape for the New Year with these handy hints.
As the Christmas tree comes down and the decorations are put away, it’s time to think about having a sort-out – and no better place to start than the garden shed.
Gardening experts have shared their top tips to help you get it ship-shape in 2025, from emptying it and planning how to store your items to maximising the space and finding compact storage solutions.“Take out everything to see exactly what you have, and what are the things that need to be thrown away and disposed of,” suggests Luke Dejahang, gardening expert and CEO of garden buildings company Crown Pavilions.
“Donate or recycle tools you haven’t used in a year or duplicates of items,” says Stephanie Harrod, founder of garden supplies, tools and equipment company Harrod Horticultural. “Many community gardens or schools accept donations.” If you store a bike in your shed, a wall-mounted bike hanger can save valuable floor space and make it easier to access your bike when needed. Shelving can also help free up floor space by storing items off the ground, making the shed feel less cluttered, he adds.“Consider adding cupboards to keep bagged items tidy and organised. A unit that doubles as a worktop can serve as a functional space for projects while also helping to reduce clutter,” Rice suggests.
