Garden Chests & Shiplap Storage: Versatile Solutions for Every Outdoor Space

From toys and tools to BBQ gear and hazardous chemicals, a garden chest keeps everything dry, secure, and tidy. Whether your garden is spacious or bijou, there's a horizontal or vertical model to fit.

Choosing the Right Chest

• Traditional shiplap timber: Classic look. Opt for FSC-certified, pre-treated, vermin-proof wood. Supplied as kits for DIY assembly—leave natural, paint, or varnish.
• Plastic-coated steel or robust plastic: Low maintenance, modern aesthetics.

All need clearance for lid/door operation and easy access. Prioritize robust construction—chests take knocks; quality means longevity.

Specialized Uses

• Gardener's chest: Add a fold-down shelf for potting.
• Lockable storage: Essential for chemicals, fertilizers, flammable liquids—keeps children and pets safe.

Assembly Tips

Verify all parts and clear instructions before starting. Basic DIY tools suffice for timber; metal/plastic models often package for easy home assembly. Once built, you'll wonder how you managed without it.
