Best Practices for Storing Rakes, Mowers, and Garden ToolsTo get the most out of your storage unit and keep your tools in great shape, follow these best practices:

  • Clean Before Storing: Remove dirt, grass, and debris from all tools. Drain fuel from gas-powered mowers and trimmers to prevent leaks or damage.
  • Use Vertical Space: Hang rakes, shovels, and hoes using wall-mounted pegboards or heavy-duty hooks to keep the floor clear and avoid tangling.
  • Protect Sharp Edges: Cover blades with protective sheaths or wrap them in old towels to prevent rust and injury.
  • Elevate Small Equipment: Use shelving units or plastic bins for hand tools, gloves, and small accessories. Label everything for quick access in spring.
  • Store Mowers Safely: Place lawnmowers on pallets or plastic tarps to avoid direct contact with the floor. Keep them covered to protect against dust and moisture.
