Lawnmower storage sorted in your garage. Low shelf or platform to keep your mower tidy, accessible, and off the damp floor.
Get Your Mower Organized
Lawnmower sitting on the garage floor collects dirt, damp, and generally makes the place look messy. A proper storage shelf or bay keeps it tidy and protects it from garage grime.
💡 Pro tip: Storing mowers off the floor protects them from damp and makes cleaning the garage way easier.

🔧 DIY Tips
Mower storage is simple to build yourself:
🔧 What you need
- Timber (4x2" for frame, 18mm ply for top)
- Drill and screws
- Saw
- Spirit level
- Tape measure
📏 Building a mower shelf
- Height: 15-20cm off floor (easy to roll on, protects from damp)
- Width: Mower width plus 10cm each side
- Depth: Mower depth plus 5cm
- Build simple frame, top with ply
🛠️ Construction
- Build rectangular frame from 4x2" timber
- Add cross-supports for strength
- Top with 18mm plywood
- Position in garage, check level
- Optional: Fix to wall for stability
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Building too high (awkward to lift mower on)
- Not strong enough supports (sags under weight)
- Forgetting drainage (water pools on shelf)
- Blocking garage door or car access
💡 Pro trick: Slight slope on the shelf (5mm drop toward front) means any petrol drips run forward, not back against the wall.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Sorting garden equipment? Combine mower storage with wall hooks for strimmers, rakes, and shovels - do it all in one visit.
Petrol mowers: Never store with full tank long-term. Drain for winter storage or add fuel stabilizer.
Electric mowers: Store battery separately in dry conditions. Don't leave it on the mower in a cold garage.
Ride-on mowers: Too big for shelves - just need clear floor space and maybe a mat to catch oil drips. I can help organize the space around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to store a lawnmower in a garage?
Low shelf or platform works best - keeps it off the damp floor but easy to roll on and off. For ride-ons, just need clear floor space. For push mowers, a simple shelf at about 15cm height is ideal.
Can you fit storage for strimmers and other garden equipment too?
Yes - makes sense to do it all together. Wall hooks for strimmers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers. Shelf for smaller bits like gloves and fuel cans.
What about fuel storage?
Never store petrol in the house. In the garage, use proper fuel cans on a low shelf away from ignition sources. I can add a shelf specifically for fuel storage if needed.
Do I need to drain the mower before storing?
Best practice for winter - drain fuel and run engine dry. For summer storage between cuts, leaving fuel in is fine. Check your mower manual for specific advice.
Will a shelf hold the weight of my mower?
Push mowers are typically 15-30kg - not heavy. I build shelves with proper supports that'll handle the weight fine. Ride-ons obviously stay on the floor.
