Garden shed organized with shelving, hooks, and proper storage. Tools easy to find, space actually usable.
Turn Your Shed Into Useful Storage
Just moved in? Your shed is probably full of boxes, random tools, and stuff piled everywhere. Wouldn't it be better to actually find your spade when you need it?
💡 Pro tip: Set up your shed properly in the first month. Leave it as a mess and it stays that way forever - then you're buying tools you already own because you can't find them.
Why Not Just Stack Stuff?
Because you'll spend half your time looking for things and waste most of the space. Proper shelving and hooks doubles your usable shed space.
| ✅ Properly Organized Shed | ❌ Chaotic Shed |
|---|---|
| Tools hung up, easy to find | 10 minutes finding secateurs |
| Shelves maximize wall space | Everything piled on the floor |
| Clear floor space | Can't move for boxes |
| Looks like you garden | Looks like you've given up |

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Organizing yourself:
- Measure shed before buying shelves
- Use hooks more than shelves (better for tools)
- Group by use (all planting stuff together)
- Keep heavy items low
- Label boxes
⚠️ Common mistakes:
- Shelves too deep (wasted space)
- Not using walls enough
- Keeping broken tools
- No system for small items
💡 Pro trick: Magnetic strip on wall holds small metal tools perfectly - cheaper than buying individual hooks.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Need shed assembly too? If your shed's flat-packed, I can build that then organize it - book both together.
Got a potting bench? I can set that up as part of shed organization - position it, fit hooks nearby for tools you'll use.
Exeter's damp climate? Keep things off the shed floor where possible. Shelving helps prevent rust and rot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in shed setup?
Fitting shelving units, installing hooks and tool racks, organizing tools and equipment so you can actually find stuff, setting up potting bench area if you've got one. Making your shed functional rather than a dumping ground.
Do I need to buy shelving first?
Either way. If you've got shed shelving already, I'll fit it. If not, I can advise what'll work for your shed size and pick it up from B&Q. You pay the merchant cost for materials.
Can you help organize a shed that's already full?
Yes - really common after house moves. I'll sort through what's in there, group similar items, then fit shelving and hooks to store everything properly. Takes a bit longer but makes a huge difference.
How long does shed setup take?
Small shed with basic shelving - about 1.5 hours. Larger shed with lots of tools and equipment to organize - more like 2.5-3 hours. I'll estimate better once I know what's involved.
Can you fit hooks for bikes?
Yes - wall or ceiling hooks for bikes work great in sheds. Just need to make sure they're secured to the frame properly. Can do that as part of the shed setup.
