Where do you store your outdoor stuff?

Sporting gear, patio cushions, gardening supplies, and pool toys are so much fun! Less so when they’re all over the place.

10 second recap: Your home is incredibly organized, with everything all in its place. At least on the inside. Once you get to the yard or deck, all bets are off, with toys and sports gear spread out everywhere. So, what’s the best way to organize and store your stuff?Meet the Modern Shed by Citibin, the perfect outdoor organization and storage solution.  

7 reasons why you should organize your outdoor gear

Cleaning up is not much fun, but it’s easier when you start by organizing everything first. You don’t have to hire a pro organizer to get HGTV-worthy results. But having a great-looking property isn’t the only reason to keep your backyard organized. Here are two reasons you should try to better organize your outdoor stuff.

1. Protect your investments. Patio furniture and its cushions are expensive. Where do you keep cushions in the cool months?

2. Organizing your outdoor gear keeps you safer. Whether you have a tiny balcony or an acre of land, keeping your stuff all over the place just isn’t a great idea. You could trip over that pool toy and end up needing stitches. Having stuff strewn about is an invitation to injury.

3. Safely storing your outdoor gear prevents theft. As if worrying about porch pirates wasn’t bad enough, why would you give potential thieves an open invitation to access your stuff? Keeping your expensive power tools out in full view lets robbers know you don’t care about your property, and they’re welcome to it.

4. Organizing your outdoor gear will actually protect your property. You touched up the trim on your house last year...but the paint is still on the lawn. Rusty cans, sharp tools, or the like can damage your property and seep into your water system. 

5. Organizing your outdoor stuff will help you get on your next vacation faster. Whether planning a backyard camping trip or heading to the mountains for a few days, you’ll need your stuff. And if you haven’t kept track of anything but kept stuffing if anywhere there was space, you’ll have to spend even more time finding your gear before you can pack your gear. You’ve spent a small fortune on the tent, flashlights, and outdoor grill, but not being able to find anything means you’ll have to waste time finding everything every single time you need it.

6. You’ll save money. There’s always something a bit embarrassing about losing a necessary piece of sporting gear and then buying a new one...only to find it the next day. By organizing your gear you’ll know what you have, where it is and whether it’s in good enough condition to keep using. 

7. You’ll enhance your home’s curb appeal. “I love the mess in this yard, and I want to buy this home immediately and for double the asking price,” said no one ever. If you’re considering putting your home on the market, you should make the backyard as appealing as the front door. 

It feels awful to lose a necessary piece of sporting gear and then buy a new one...only to find it the next day.

Meet the Modern Shed by CITIBIN

If you’ve ever struggled to figure out where to put your outdoor things, you’re not the only one. Outdoor clutter can ruin the look of your property and cause daily frustration. We designed and created our Modern Storage Shed as an alternative to a Rubbermaid shed. 

Made of the same aluminum and bamboo as our other enclosures, CITIBIN sheds are built to withstand the elements and come with a 2-year warranty.
Whether you need a single module for gardening supplies, two modules for sporting equipment, or three modules poolside, CITIBIN sheds can be easily configured to your needs.

Our Modern Storage Sheds are also used as stroller parking at day care centers and multi-family homes. Trust us. This is not your grandfather’s shed! 

Whether you want to clean up your property or simply organize all your pool supplies, a CITIBIN Modern Shed is the perfect solution. Our shed goes perfectly with your existing CITIBIN trash enclosures, and you can always add a planter, mailbox, or parcel drop. Ifyou need some inspiration or are unsure where to begin, call us at 347.549.4121 or email us at info@citibin.com to discuss creating your own customized trash bin setup.
