Affordable, non-plastic shed to store lawn mower

[Anonymous]

I want to to get our hand-pushed lawn mower, the leaf blower and some stacking yard chairs out of our garage. I priced out an Amish or custom built wood shed but those are $2000+. I could get a smaller plastic shed from Home Depot, but I'm trying to avoid buying non-biodegradable things, I don't want to add plastic to the world's landfills. I looked at DIY cedar sheds you can buy online but those are also $2000+ once you factor in the pad it'll sit on and the handyman cost to assemble. Is there any option I have overlooked? Where do you all store your lawn mowers (if not in the garage?) Thanks!

Maybe a metal shed?

HD has non-plastic sheds

Every shed is going to be at least $1500. That's just the price of things. Check Facebook market place to see if your neighbors are selling or getting rid of one.

Just clean out your garage honestly. Put up hooks for these things so they’re tidy. We don’t even have a garage - I keep our lawnmower on a low shelf in a basement storage room. The leaf blower hangs next to it.

If you can’t put it in your garage, you have too much crap.

Thanks. The issue isn't that there's no space. I don't want the organic-y stuff in the garage. The lawnmower smells musty and I want to keep the space dry and mostly empty so we can put gym equipment in there.

Then you have too much stuff in your house. A garage is not a gym if you have to put garage items out of the garage.

Wood sheds and building a pad is more than $2000 by a lot. There is a reason plastic is cheap. They factory make it using injection molding.

Most houses do not come with gyms, or room for gyms.

If you don't have a shed recommendation, then move on.

We store ours outside year round with a waterproof lawnmower cover. We also looked into something like this:

Linear Polyethylene (what plastic yard sheds are made of) is readily recyclable.

Wood sheds are really expensive unless you build it yourself, and even then, material cost is still significant.
