Shed Organization Hacks: Making the Most of Your San Antonio Outdoor Space

Investing in a beautiful new shed can help you declutter your San Antonio home and backyard. But now what? Just tossing everything into your shed haphazardly defeats the purpose. It ruins the point of adding this organized storage. With some savvy shed organization strategies, you can use every inch of space. You can also keep your outdoor area neat year-round.

First, plan an intelligent layout. 

Before loading up your shed, map out zones to store item categories. Dedicate one corner to landscaping tools and another to sports gear. Use a third for home maintenance supplies, and so on. This separation strategy stops your shed from becoming one big, jumbled mess. Michael’s custom shelving and pegboard options make sectioning a breeze.

Invest in clear storage bins. 

You’ve been using opaque tubs to store holiday decor and off-season clothes. But, they are organization kryptonite. Instead, choose clear plastic bins. They let you see what’s inside without having to dig. Stock up on bins in two or three uniform sizes that can neatly stack or sit side-by-side on shelves.

Go up with shed storage

Remember, shed walls are valuable storage space. Michael’s Shed Services can add vertical storage options to your custom build. These include slatwall panels, hooks, tool racks, and more. This maximizes every inch from floor to ceiling. For ceilings over 8 feet, consider an overhead storage loft.

Implement the Rotate Rule. 

As seasons change in San Antonio, you’ll cycle through different groups for outdoor supplies, decor, and gear. To cut down on clutter, implement a “rotate” rule. Pack away things you only need when bringing out warm-weather items next year. This prevents shed overstuffing and makes it easier to access essentials.

Pack bright with shed storage

Once you’ve zoned your shed, put things into categories. Make a habit of it. Stow infrequently used items towards the back and kept most-grabbed pieces up front. Also, clearly label all bins and snap photos to help jog your memory of what’s inside. A few simple organizational habits make all the difference.

With an expertly crafted shed from Michael’s Shed Services, your storage possibilities are endless! Our team can design custom organization elements for your shed and provide more shed storage tips.

  1. what is the foundation made of? Do you offer any upgrades to it like a galvanized steel foundation?

    1. We use 2×6 ground contact rated treated lumber. Unfortunately Tuff Shed is the only one that can use the metal foundation but the metal does have less weight load than treated.
