A storage shed is typically either one of two things\u2014 a well-utilized space that provides functional storage or <\/em>a glorified junk drawer where tools and other garden supplies go to die. They\u2019re rarely somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my experience, homeowners simply don\u2019t have the time or energy to tackle storage shed organization by the time they\u2019ve addressed more frequently used spaces like their pantry, kids rooms, or primary closets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense! In Alberta, sheds hold seasonal items that don\u2019t get used for nearly six months out of the year. If anything is going to be put on the back burner, it\u2019s understandable it would be an outdoor space that simply serves as a dumping ground for lawn mowers, shovels, and other items that only get used periodically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is <\/em>time to use these items, you feel the consequences of your neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you can\u2019t find that one gardening tool you know you bought last year. Or maybe the paint you need for touching up your deck is buried beneath a mountain of building supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, you\u2019re standing there thinking, \u201cI wish I had an organized storage shed\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not do yourself a favor, organize now, and save yourself from a headache in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u2019m going to be sharing simple strategies and solutions you can use to maintain a neat and tidy storage shed. Keep scrolling!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Genius Organization Tips for Storage Sheds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Install a PegBoard Wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pegboard is a game-changing organization solution that works for a variety of different spaces, including storage sheds! Small barbs are inserted into the pegboard holes, which can then be used to hang power tools, screwdrivers, hammers, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary benefit of pegboard is that it utilizes vertical wall space, freeing up other areas like workbenches and tool boxes. Plus, it enhances visibility to keeping essential tools and equipment within eyesight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing a pegboard wall is pretty simple and can usually be done in just a matter of minutes! Here\u2019s a helpful video you can follow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Purchase Clear Plastic Tubs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No list of shed organization tips is complete without mentioning clear plastic tubs. Not only are they weather resistant and stackable, but they allow you to see their contents, making it easier and more convenient to identify items you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For added convenience, I recommend choosing transparent drawer-style bins<\/a>, since they do not need to be disassembled in order to access their contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There really isn\u2019t a limit to what can be stored inside these bins. Gardening tools, cords, bags of soil, paintbrushes, or hobby and craft supplies are just a few ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Invest in a Portable Garden Cart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A portable cart is an excellent idea for avid gardeners, hobbyists, or handymen who regularly use specific tools or supplies. These frequently-used items can be kept in one place and conveniently maneuvered around your storage shed (or even outside). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 3-tier cart<\/a> is one of my personal faves. I love that it collapses for easy stowing, and that it\u2019s made from metal for added durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, once you\u2019re enjoying the mobility this cart provides, you\u2019ll wonder why you ever stored your supplies any other way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Utilize Exterior Wall Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Large items like wheelbarrows, hoses, and weed wackers can take up a ton of valuable yard or shed space. They\u2019re often left on shed floors or outside where they\u2019re exposed to the elements. There has to be a better way, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is! Installing heavy duty wall-mounted hooks<\/a> to the exterior of your storage shed is the perfect way to keep large tools and equipment out of your way and in one designated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be sure whichever items you decide to hang can withstand being out in the weather. If not, you can always cover your equipment with a tarp or invest in a plastic awning<\/a> to shield it from rain and snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Make Use of Muffin Tins (Yes, Muffin Tins!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, one of the secrets to an organized storage shed can be found in your kitchen. Muffin tins are incredibly useful for storing screws, bolts, hinges, nails, and more. They keep all your metal hardware sorted and visible, making it easy to grab what you need when you\u2019re in the middle of a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also recommend placing your muffin tins on a tiered shelf organizer<\/a> to further maximize the functionality of your space. All of your odds and ends will have a designated place. No more scouring your storage shed looking for a particular type of nail or screw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t be afraid to let your imagination run wild here. Fishing tackle, woodworking supplies, remote control car parts, and an endless assortment of other items can be stored this way too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
