Garden Storage Revolution: The Attractive 'Outdoor Closet' is Reinventing Small Yard Organizations
The Swedish furniture giant, IKEA, has introduced a minimalist wood design outdoor garden closet that seamlessly blends into various outdoor design styles. Priced under £200, this versatile storage solution is an affordable addition to any garden or outdoor space.
Made of powder-coated galvanised steel, the IKEA outdoor garden closet boasts durability and easy cleanability. With holes at the bottom for water drainage, it's well-equipped to handle the elements. Inside, it offers multiple shelves and a clothes rail for small tools, plant pots, and more.
When choosing materials for an outdoor closet, durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic compatibility are key. Pressure-treated pine and cedar wood, teak and acacia woods, and vinyl are top choices due to their natural resistance, classic appeal, weather resistance, and low maintenance. For those seeking a more contemporary feel, aluminum metal can be considered for structural elements.
Sergey Mashkov, construction designer and sales manager at Sheds Unlimited, a U.S. based company manufacturing outdoor structures, suggests pressure-treated pine or cedar, teak, Acacia wood, and vinyl as suitable materials for outdoor closets.
The outdoor garden closet can store a variety of items, including garden supplies, outdoor kitchen utensils, seasonal decor, and outdoor furniture cushions. However, Sergey advises against storing fertilizers, seeds, and flammable liquids due to their sensitivity to temperature shifts, high humidity, potential for attracting pests, or flammability.
The compact design of the outdoor garden closet makes it ideal for smaller garden accessories. It can fit comfortably in small spaces and empty corners, adding functionality without taking up too much room. For those who prefer a sleek, modern look, the gray and black finished outdoor closet with traditional cladding offers a contemporary feel.
Another stylish choice is the dark walnut storage unit from Keter Signature, which maintains a sleek outdoor entertaining area. And the best part? Installing an outdoor garden closet does not require a permit.
