If you do a lot of gardening you probably have a lot of tools and supplies. If your garden accessories are starting to clutter your garage or even worse, sitting out in your yard, it may be time for you to start looking into garden storage buildings.

Garden storage buildings do not have to be just a place to keep your tools and protect them form the elements. If well planned and constructed it can also be a place for you to work indoors when the weather is bad. It can provide a place for maintaining your tools, preparing pots for planting, re-potting plants, or just a place to relax and get out of the house.

There are many garden storage buildings and kits on the market. If you go to a home and garden store you will usually find a line of them for sale. This can be a quick way to get your building but there are some drawbacks to buying pre-made buildings.

One thing to consider is the material they are made of. Metal buildings often rust and are usually not built with any kind of frame so they are not very durable. I have seen a lot of them where the sliding doors don't work very well after a few years.

Plastic buildings will only last a while in the sun. Plus you will have to decide if you like the look of a plastic building in your garden.

Wooden buildings have the advantage of being easy to work with and modify. If cared for properly wood will last a long time, are usually more decorative and can blend into the yard nicely. The problem is many of the pre-built ones are built to be light weight and cheap for the manufacturer to build so they aren't always built well.

If you want the best of all worlds in garden storage buildings the best thing to do is to build one yourself or have one built. There are all kinds of plans and step-by-step guides available on the internet. You can find one that best suits you and your needs. Once you find what you want the guides make them easy to build or to hire someone to build.

If you know the right places to look you can also find materials that are inexpensive or even free. With the right planning and resources you can build your own for less than it cost to buy one.

With a well designed garden building you can have all of your garden accessories organized and convenient for when you need to use them and a work space for your gardening tasks.
