Store garden tools

Last updated: October 12, 2026

The sun shines on our faces, and its warm rays bring a smile to our lips. Yes, summer is a wonderful time of year! But as always, winter eventually returns. Anyone who has a garden and enjoys spending time outdoors on beautiful summer days knows what winter takes away. Still, looking forward to warmer days is a wonderful feeling.

With a heavy heart, we put away our outdoor furniture and everything that decorated our outdoor spaces, storing them indoors or in garden sheds to protect them from the weather.

Especially when it comes to garden sheds or gardens that are only used during the summer months, it is extremely important to disconnect electrical appliances from the power supply and securely store valuable gardening equipment, such as lawnmowers, scarifiers, and other expensive tools, to protect them from theft. Allotment gardens and garden colonies are particularly attractive targets for burglars during winter, when these areas are often deserted.

Burglars can work undisturbed, forcing open doors or tampering with windows until they gain access to the interior.

The risk of theft should not be taken lightly or dismissed with the thought that "it won't happen to us." Instead, it is better to take preventive measures from the outset. However, limited storage space can often become a problem. Fortunately, there are other ways to keep your belongings safe during winter without having to store everything within your own four walls. One practical and secure alternative is self-storage.

Are LAGERBOX Storage Units Waterproof?

Although LAGERBOX storage units are not explicitly classified as waterproof, they provide dry, weather-protected, and secure storage conditions. How can I keep my gardening equipment protected from water? LAGERBOX offers a practical alternative for storing gardening equipment and tools throughout the winter months, keeping them protected from direct exposure to the elements and unauthorized access.

Which storage systems are best for gardening equipment?

Shelving units, stackable boxes, and other organizational systems help store gardening equipment efficiently while saving space. Can I use shelving units at LAGERBOX? Freestanding shelves can be used to keep storage units neatly organized. At LAGERBOX, you can rent a storage unit in a size that suits your needs and take advantage of ceiling heights of up to 3 meters to maximize vertical storage space. Shelving units are not automatically included in the storage unit rental.

Is Wall Mounting Possible in a Storage Unit?

Can I mount gardening tools on the wall? Wall-mounted racks can help keep tools organized while saving valuable space. However, whether wall mounting is permitted in LAGERBOX storage units should be clarified in advance with the team at the respective location. Freestanding shelving offers a practical alternative for making the most of the available storage space without attaching anything to the walls.

Each self-storage unit is accessible only to its respective customer, ensuring privacy alongside comprehensive security measures. For added convenience, LAGERBOX provides transport equipment, freight lifts, and a FREE moving van for customers moving into their storage units. Rental agreements are flexible and can be calculated on a daily basis, allowing customers to end their rental early if necessary. If you need to retrieve something from your storage unit, you can access your belongings during the designated opening hours, 365 days a year, often from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., at no additional cost.

For anyone looking for peace of mind, self-storage offers a secure and cost-effective solution for keeping gardening equipment safely stored throughout the winter.
