🔧 DIY Tips
Mower storage is fairly straightforward DIY:
🔧 Tools needed
- Drill
- Saw (if building shelf)
- Spirit level
- Measuring tape
- Timber and fixings (if building)
- Heavy-duty hooks (if wall-mounting)
📐 Getting it right
- Weigh your mower (check manual or estimate)
- Choose storage height you can lift to comfortably
- Use strong fixings appropriate for wall type
- Test with weight before trusting mower to it
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Underestimating mower weight
- Weak fixings pulling out
- Shelf too high - dangerous lifting
- Not considering fuel tank when stored at angle
💡 Pro trick: Build a little ramp leading up to mower shelf - easier to wheel mower up than lifting straight off floor.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Organizing whole shed? I can set up storage for all your garden gear in one session - makes more sense than multiple visits.
Electric vs petrol mowers? Electric mowers are lighter so easier to wall-mount. Petrol mowers usually better on a shelf you can wheel them onto.
Battery mowers? Make sure battery charging point is accessible when mower's stored - frustrating if you have to take it down to charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to store a lawn mower?
Depends on the type. Push mowers can go on wall hooks if they're light enough. Heavier mowers are better on a low shelf or platform so you can wheel them on and off. Ride-on mowers just need floor space but I can build a little bay to keep them contained.
Can you make a shelf for my mower in the shed?
Yes - I build a simple strong shelf at the right height for your mower. Timber frame fixed to shed walls with board on top. Strong enough to take the weight and positioned so you can lift mower on easily.
Will wall hooks hold my petrol mower?
Petrol push mowers are quite heavy - usually 15-25kg. You need heavy-duty hooks into solid wall or studs, not just stuck to shed cladding. I'll assess your mower and wall type to make sure it's safely mounted.
Do I need to empty the petrol first?
That's a good idea for safety and to stop leaks - storing mowers with fuel in isn't recommended anyway. But the storage solution itself doesn't change - it's more about safe practice.
How long does it take to set up mower storage?
Wall hooks: 30 minutes. Building a shelf: 45-60 minutes depending on size and how it needs to be supported. I'll measure, build, and make sure it's solid enough for your specific mower.
