Pro tips

Run a tidier workshop unit

Four practical things that make storage easier.

1

Shelve the back wall

Cheap heavy-duty shelving doubles your usable space. Tools at the front, materials at the back.

2

Lock smarter

A second padlock and a metal hasp slows opportunists. Bring your own if you want extra peace of mind.

3

Photograph your kit

Serial numbers and photos on your phone make insurance claims simple if anything ever goes missing.

4

Use a working bench

A small folding workbench inside the unit turns it into a usable workshop, not just storage.
