What You Can and Cannot Store in a Metal Storage Shed

Bikes and Toys

To keep the clutter organized, consider using a metal shed for the bikes and toys your children use. This is a great way to keep all of their outdoor toys in one area where they can easily access it when they want to. Over the winter months, you can store things like sandboxes, water tables, kid’s tables and chairs, as well as any other outdoor toys they have within a dry space. This can help to minimize wear and tear on these items.

When it comes to bike storage, storage sheds work well in that way as well. You can use wall hooks to help keep them off the ground and organized or just allow the kids to store them propped against the wall. This allows them to remain accessible but out of the way.

Patio Furniture and Outdoor Décor

Depending on the size of the shed purchased, it is also possible to use this space to store all of your patio furniture and outdoor décor. All of the cushions you want to protect through the winter months, your deck furniture, and even the grills you don't use during the winter months can easily be placed in this area. You can also place items like outdoor signs, fixtures, and flags that you do not want to be damaged during the winter months in this space. It’s a great place for Christmas decorations during the summer months, too.

Pool Chemicals

It’s a good idea to keep all of your pool chemicals away from the pool and locked up so that your children remain safe. Keep them dry and out of the way of the kids and pets by placing them into a locked shed. You can also store all of your pool accessories, including your pool filters, skimmers, floaties, and even the pump and motor during the winter months in this space. It keeps them protected and out of the way.

Tools

For those that need to have tools for everything from repairs to handling specific tasks in your home, a storage shed works well. It can help you to get just about everything managed and organized, from toolboxes filled with items to your power tools. You will want to choose a solution that is more watertight for the storage of power tools, though. With good shed organization, you can store many of the necessary tools in your shed.
