Storage size planner

Plan from the tools you own, using your own measurements.

Measure your kit before choosing a store

Use centimetres. Measure each item in its intended storage position, including handles and attachments. For an upright rake, its length is its height. For a bike or mower, include the handlebars.

Your tools, mower and bikes
The store you are checking

Enter clear internal dimensions, not the nominal shed size. If you only know your garden space, use this to plan a layout, then check the store's external size and installation clearances separately.

How the estimate works

Footprint = width × depth × quantity for each item, added together. Nothing is stacked or hung on a wall. The tool places items in rows, deepest first, without rotating them, then adds your chosen access strip across the front. It compares that layout with the clear internal dimensions you enter.

A layout that exceeds the space might still work with a different arrangement. A layout within the space still needs a physical check: door width, turning room, roof slopes, shelving and the route to the garden can prevent an item fitting. The front strip is not a guarantee that you can reach items at the back. The longest dimension is a measuring reminder, not a promise that an item fits diagonally.

Worked example

A mower measuring 60 × 120 × 100 cm and two upright tools each 30 × 30 × 160 cm occupy 0.90 m² on the floor. In a store 180 cm wide, the row layout needs 180 cm depth including a 60 cm front strip, and at least 160 cm usable height. These are illustrative measurements, not product specifications.

Your entries stay in this page and are not saved or sent to a server. The calculator also screens the manufacturer dimensions below using the same layout and access strip. A candidate still needs door, roof and installation checks; it is not a confirmed fit. Check internal dimensions and the clear door opening with the maker before ordering.

Read the shed measuring guide before buying.

Manufacturer dimensions to compare

These records are starting points for measuring, not recommendations. We haven't tested these products. Dimensions, materials, lock ratings and features are as the manufacturer states them (checked 2026-10-25). Confirm the current specification before buying.

Nominal size and volume in litres do not show whether your mower can pass through the door. Internal height may be the highest point; check the lowest part of the roof over each item. Product dimensions do not include the clearances needed around the store for installation, opening lids or maintenance.
