tim0625 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Where do you put the yard stuff - rakes, shovels, lawnmower, weed eater...the things you want to keep out of the weather. Does it share a space in your woodworking shop? Do you have a separate building/shed? How do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfowler Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have an shed that stores my yard stuff and some other things, I use to keep my scooter in my shop and had to move it out before I working, now it has a home on it's own, I know scooter, yea I got it when gas prices was above $5 a gallon, for local runs, store, friends home, and even work, and now just for runs in area that has trees cover roads, on cool morning, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 My petrol (gas) lawnmower was taken to the city tip (our name for a recycling center) a few years back and is probably now part of a ship or refrigerator. I employ a gardener to come in once a week to mow the lawns, do all the garden chores, clear up leaves etc. I now have extra space in the shop and don't have to waste valuable shop time on getting rid of weeds. It takes him and his men about an hour to do what took me 2 days. Best £30 I ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I built a small shed and keep all my garden gear in there. Only woodworking related materials make it into the shop. Edited August 1, 2015 by franklin pug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I got a shed in the back yard ... nothing big, its like a 5'x8' shed from home depot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I built a 12x16 shed from plans which made it really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nah. Tool and wood overflow as well ?. Bikes, strollers, outdoor stuff, kids crap, and a little area to fiddle with my compound bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strasberry Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) My shop has not only all the woodworking tools/supplies, all camping equipment, it has my mechanics tools/ welder/cutting torch etc! It had my reloading supplies until just recently. My lawnmower is content to sit out under a leanto all winter and the rest finds a spot in my hay barn!

Woodenskye Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Shed for the seemingly ever expanding amount of crap we have. I really need to get rid of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzdadoc Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I was worried cuz my HOA doesn't allow sheds but moving in both neighbors on each side have Home Depot plastic sheds. Sweet! My shed is in back that houses 90% of my schmit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 When I built my 24x32 garage, I sectioned an area off just for that kind of stuff. It quickly got filled with other crap, so I built a 14x16 shed to house it. The mower hasn't seen gasoline in about 8 years as a crew comes by weekly and mows.

Rapid Roger Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I bought a pre-fab barn for the Dixon riding mower and all the yard stuff. It was one of those pre built buildings that is slid off of a trailer onto the ground but, was too wide to get backed into the yard so the guys had to assemble it in place. Behind the boy and windmill ! Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I put up a small rubbermaid shed in my yard for lawn mower, rototiller and all my shovels, rakes, etc. I keep my chainsaw in the garage/shop still. Getting that crap out and into the shed made a huge difference in my shop in terms of space and organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewyo Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Unfortunately the primary purpose of the space I use is to store all the stuff.We have the 4-wheeler with plow attachment and trailer, thousands of feet of welded wire fencing and a couple hundred T-posts we use to keep the moose and elk from ornamental landscape plants, a dozen ranch gates, mower, blower, trimmer, chainsaw and assorted lawn tools, mechanic's tools, ladders, 4 inflatable kayaks with PFDs and paddles, soccer mom chairs, bikes, strollers, those dusty cabinets from the remodel which I was going to use something like 8 years ago but never did, 10' of culvert, a basketball hoop, old doors, car washing supplies, electric fencing supplies, weed and bug chemicals with assorted sprayers, and all kinds of good junk I'm leaving out.Oh, almost forgot! There's a wood shop of sorts in there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Most is in a shed in the back yard. We do have one shovel, rake and broom hanging on the front corner wall of the Shop/garage just for convenience sake and they aren't in the way.

nginear Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just got a pre-made shed that is being multi used for feed storage, gardening (wife) and lawn stuff (shovels, rakes, mower, etc). The shop right now is the garage and it still needs a bit of organizing to really function well. Maybe one day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
