FAQs
What is the best garden storage for a small patio?
A weatherproof deck box doubles as seating and stores cushions, toys, and tools. A 300L box fits most small patios.
Do I need planning permission for garden storage in the UK?
Small sheds and storage boxes under 2.5m tall and within 2m of a boundary generally do not need planning permission. Always check local rules.
How do I keep garden tools dry without a shed?
A wall-mounted tool rack under an overhang, a slim vertical cabinet, or a waterproof deck box all keep tools dry without needing a full shed.
