The lush green lawn, the perfectly trimmed hedge and the sparkling clean bicycles need to be looked after regularly. Only with the right equipment will your garden remain in a presentable condition. Lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, bicycle racks – everything needs to be within easy reach and at the same time neatly stored away. A tool shed is the perfect choice for this. That’s why the classic garden house has been one of the most popular models for decades. You can find the answers to the most frequently asked questions of the last few years here.

How big can a tool shed be?

1. There is no such thing as a perfect size. The decision essentially depends on three factors:
   How much space do you have in the garden? Especially on smaller plots of land, you should think carefully about how much space the new tool shed should take up. With its solid walls and a height of almost two meters, the shed keeps out the neighbors’ curious glances as well as the warming rays of the sun.
2. What do you want to store in the tool shed? From small sheds to spacious tool sheds, you will find a wide range of different models in the wide range on offer. Especially if you want to store bicycles or garden furniture in the shed in addition to the lawnmower, you should plan ahead and estimate the storage space required.
3. What does your municipality require? A building permit can also depend on the size. However, each municipality has its own rules. It is best to consult with the responsible institution before starting detailed planning to ensure that all requirements are met.
