We bought an 8’x6’ ex display from a local company. Big enough for a cupboard, floor standing shelving unit for all the pots, pot feet, saucers, stakes etc etc, mower, couple of hedge trimmers, rakes and and and and… Managed to fit bistro set & assorted chairs in over winter. 

I chose one with a window so that I could do my seed planting & potting in there until I finally get a greenhouse. 2 years on & I can’t even get in without moving stuff around, let alone plant anything. OH is an advocate of ‘I’ll keep that in case it comes in handy’😕

This is my biggest fault ,one day i will be right 

Maybe, maybe not. After 21 years in our previous home, in 2021 we moved briefly into temp accommodation before buying this place. To avoid massive storage costs, we hired a large skip & filled it with everything that ‘might come in useful’ gathered over those 21 years & some which had moved there with us in 2000🙄. We haven’t missed any of it😉.

Was expecting that to read ‘go as big as you can’. I could fill the shed up four times over but would like compact. 

Well I'm taking the idea of a woman's handbag....no matter the size it's always full.  And a small bag can hold all the essentials as well as a big one.  So the smaller you go the less junk you're lugging about!!!

The fact that you (or most women (& possibly men)) have enough to fill the shed (bag) 4 times over doesn't mean you should.

Have taken that idea on-board with the Keter Store It Out Max. I think it’s great for a quick outdoor storage solution. Clear instructions too.

Very nice! What sort of things/tools do you have inside?

Lawnmower with the handle folded over, chainsaw, pruning saw, petrol multi-tool plus fork, rakes etc..
Could put a small shelf in. Some pics of the Max show one.

Looks great! Good idea on a shelf or perhaps a partition wall so one side contains a lawn mower, the other side with a shelf has all your tools for ease of access.

Attach some wooden batons to the inside of the doors and the lid with roofing bolts and rubber washers. then some zinc plated tool clips onto wood. This will make storage of hand tools, shears and such like more tidy and convenient.
