Keep your recycling bins organized with an outdoor shelving system.

Use Self Storage For Large Items

Patio Furniture

Patio furniture needs protection during the winter and it can take up all the available space in your garage or shed; making it impossible to move around during the winter. Consider renting a storage unit for large patio chairs, tables, and couches.

Redesign the Shed
