5 innovative storage solutions for using storage sheds

Storage space is a big-time question in today’s times. In the olden days, people would mostly build backyard storage sheds to store gardening tools. However, there are numerous possibilities one can explore with storage sheds. Listed below are some creative and innovative storage solutions for storage sheds which you can use to store everything from a garden tool to an unused chair and even any extra stuff from the house that is needed only on a seasonal basis.

Today, making storage sheds has become as equally easy and an inexpensive affair as you can buy them in various sizes and diverse designs. Let’s figure out some innovative ideas for storing paraphernalia in your storage sheds in the best possible space-saving and efficient manner.

  • If you’re able to find some hammer and nails easily, then creating a floating shelve or a workbench to store the garage tools is an easy task. It will also make storage space in the shed much organized for the future sorting and one can also add more tools through the different seasons.
  • It is important to keep those bolts, screws, and tacks safely and together, because if not kept properly, then it becomes difficult to search for them in times of need. Also, it becomes a safety issue with kids around. An innovative storage idea is to store them all in different jars, label them and hang all jars from hooks in the shed. Mason jars will work excellently with this idea.
  • If you have metal buckets lying around, one of the most innovative methods to use them is by turning them into wall or ceiling hangings. These can hold the bigger garden tools such as shovels, hoses, hand rakes, etc. One can also store smaller tools, gloves etc. in the smaller-sized buckets.
  • Simply hanging tools like garden scrapers, etc. on the pegboard will clear up a lot of ground space in the shed. Drill a hole on the lip-side of an old steel cup, tie a twine to it and hang onto the pegboard (one can store packets of garden seeders).
  • Don’t discard those tinted bins or pots. Give life by repainting them with vibrant shades. These can be used for dumping unused or often needed outdoor accessories. Note to always install bins on floating shelves; this gives double the space to add more tools to the shed. In the other side, one can keep yard tools like shovels, pitchforks, rakes in-between the floating sleeves (straight and tall). It’s an easy way of not messing up the floor.
