It seems that people are always on the lookout for more storage room. When your garage or attic space is packed full, it’s time to find some alternative solutions. By turning to your backyard for potential storage space, you may be able to create a home for all those items that are currently in your way. Explore these top backyard storage ideas for some inspiration!
Upgrade Your Old Tool Shed
You may already have a tool shed in place on your property, but that small structure doesn’t always live up to its potential. If all of your landscaping tools are piled up in the middle of the shed, you’re wasting space that could be better utilized.
Take some time to organize your tool shed and add elements like hooks, shelves, and bars that can hold items and open up even more room. Of course, if you don’t currently have a tool shed or your current version is on its last legs, turn to American Carports, Inc.for an affordable solution that you will love! Use our Build& Price Tool to create a custom metal storage building that’s perfect for your tools and other equipment.
Add Another Garage
You may already have a garage attached to your home. If you do, there’s a good chance that your garage is filled with vehicles, bicycles, camping equipment, and countless other items.Fortunately, adding another garage to your property may not be as difficult—or as expensive—as you think.
If you have a large backyard and there are no building restrictions in place, consider adding a metal garage from American Carports, Inc. By going with a metal structure,you’ll save on costs as compared to wood, and you will shorten the timeline to completion as well.

You just might be surprised to find how easy and affordable this project could be!
Storage Under Your Table
Those who love spending time in their backyard often view it as a place to enjoy a quiet breakfast, a quick lunch, or a relaxing dinner. While that’s a great way to use your space, your table may be taking up more than its share of room without providing any storage capability. By adding storage underneath your table, you can collect some of your outdoor dining pieces in a central location.
There are two ways to obtain a table that can store various items—you can build it or buy it. Those who are handy may be able to construct a table that looks great and serves a practical purpose at the same time. Of course, if you don’t like to take on DIY projects,shopping for a table with included storage is a quick and easy task.
Storage in Seating
This is another idea along the same lines as adding storage to your table. If you’re planning on including benches in your backyard, turn them into a storage option by using tops that flip up on a hinge. You might choose to store outdoor pillows, blankets, or a variety of other items within.
Hide the Garden Hose
While it doesn’t seem like a large item, an unruly garden hose can take up a lot of space. If you leave your hose uncoiled and laying across the lawn after watering your plants, it will be in the way when you need to mow or when the kids want to play. Buy or build a container for your garden hose to keep it out of the way when not in use. Some designs even include a planter box on top, so this storage solution can add to the appeal of your landscaping.
Tuck Away the Trash
Many people are forced to store their trash and recycling cans in the backyard, for lack of a better option. If this sounds like your situation, consider building can storage into the design of your backyard layout. Depending on the size of the cans, you may be able to conceal them in something you construct behind or to the side of your shed.This will not only give the cans a dedicated place to live, but it will also add to your property’s visual appeal.
