A garage is an invaluable space for any gardener or DIY enthusiast to have. It is the perfect place to store all of your tools and to use as a workshop as well. Is your garage suitable for your purpose, though?

You will need to check that your garage is waterproof above anything else. If it isn’t, you are opening up a lot of problems for yourself when storing electric power tools, lawn mowers, drills and any other items you might use around the house. It should be easy to waterproof your garage if you are having problems with damp.

You also need to ensure that your garage is completely safe and secure. Your work tools are probably not cheap, so ensure that there are no weak points where a burglary could happen easily. Make sure your windows and your garage door are strong, sturdy and robust to deter burglars and to keep them out if a burglary is attempted.
