I was looking for a way to stop my shed from exploding, okay maybe it wasn’t going to erupt into a ball of fire billowing a mushroom cloud of smoke in to the ether, but more realistically the door doesn’t shut properly and the glass might be knocked through at any moment. I needed a solution and found that I would become quite confused as to what I required to sort out my bulging shed problem.
What I found when I stripped out all of the junk during my biannual shed tidy-up was that I seemed to horde things that I generally accessed three or four times a year at the back of my shed, out of reach and unnoticed. This meant that I would shuffle down to the shops and buy more of the same stuff, that I couldn’t locate (except during said biannual shed tidy-up), and then double up on everything and was becoming poorer. What I needed was a simple storage solution that gave me access to these items on a daily basis without having to unload my shed of it’s contents to find them.
As a keen gardener I’m forever looking for my empty pots to stuff the latest seasonal bulbs in or hopelessly trying to find my secators, trowel and gardening gloves. But what I’m confronted by in my shed is two bicycles, one of which is hoisted to the roof by nylon string as I try in vain to create a little floor space, dangerous looking long handled gardening tools, a steadily breaking down mower, power washer and a rack of paint pots and other assorted gardening and decorating gear. And as I recall, from what I remember the last time I used it all, it was all stacked neatly and tidily, but somehow now it has all cascaded on to the floor and merged in to the latest Tracey Emin work of art.
So... I decided that I needed a simple gardening storage solution. A small unit that would complement my amply overstuffed shed, that I could keep my gardening gear in and be able to get at it as often as I needed during the growing season, that would be perfect and I found it at Garden Buildings Direct.
Garden Buildings Direct has a range of garden storage solutions and in particular the solution that fit my specific requirements the BillyOh Storage Chest, which is a wooden storage unit with an opening lid and fold down front that has a footprint of 4’ x 3’ and is 3’ deep. The BillyOh Storage Chest is big enough for my hose, pots, trowel, gloves, compost, seed trays and those paint cans that I’ll never use, but keep just in case.
