The Garden Toy Explosion
Footballs, buckets, spades, trampolines - garden toys multiply and spread. Proper storage means they're protected from weather and your garden looks like a garden, not a toy shop explosion.
💡 Pro tip: Position storage where children will actually use it - near the play area, at child height. Too far or too awkward and toys won't get put away.

🔧 DIY Tips
Assembling yourself? Here's the approach:
🔧 What you'll need
- Storage unit kit
- Screwdriver/drill
- Rubber mallet
- Level (for flat surface)
📐 Positioning tips
- Near play area (gets used)
- Accessible for children
- Good drainage underneath
- Not blocking paths
- Level ground or adjust
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Placed on uneven ground
- Too far from play area (doesn't get used)
- Not weatherproof enough
- No drainage (water collects)
💡 Pro trick: Drill a few drainage holes in the bottom if not already included - trapped water makes toys mouldy and storage smelly.

Good to Know
🌧️ Weather protection - even "outdoor" toys last longer when stored properly. Plastic fades and cracks in sun, wood rots in rain. A bit of protection extends toy life significantly.
Also consider:
- Separate bike storage
- Sports equipment hooks
- Ball cage/basket
- Smaller category baskets inside

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of garden storage works best for toys?
Waterproof storage benches are popular - double as seating. Large deck boxes work too. Whatever you choose needs drainage and weather resistance.
Does it need securing?
Lightweight storage can blow around in wind - anchoring or weighing down is sensible. Children climbing on storage boxes also warrants stability.
What about bikes and scooters?
Need their own storage really - toy boxes aren't usually big enough. Separate bike storage or shed space works better for wheeled toys.
Can you assemble any outdoor storage?
Most types - plastic, wood, wicker-effect, flat-pack. Bring on the instructions and we'll build it.
