Innovative Uses for Garages and Sheds Beyond Storage

Garages & Sheds

Garages and sheds are functional and a fabulous way to store vehicles. However, their potential expands beyond keeping your cars undercover. Read on to find out how Melbourne Garages outdoor garages and sheds offer more than just storage options.

Outdoor garages and sheds’ alternative uses

Personal gym

Have you got a gym membership that you don’t use? Are you wanting to get fit but don’t have the time to travel to the health club? Setting up an area in your outdoor garage with fitness equipment is the ideal way to stick to a fitness routine in the comfort of your home. 

A set of dumbbells, kettle weights and barbells with a bench in your garage or shed can be the basis of a great fitness regime. And if you’ve got enough space, an exercise bike or cross trainer will give you the entire workout without needing to leave your property!

Craft and creative space

If you’ve got a creative urge but no space in your home to fulfil it, an outdoor shed is ideal. Melbourne Garages outdoor sheds can be customised for your specific needs, from a skylight and windows to insulation to keep the shed comfortable in summer and winter. Using only the best long-lasting products, like Colorbond, our outdoor garages and sheds can be tailored for a pottery space, a painting area, or a woodworking bench.

Home office

With more people either working from home a few days a week or working remotely, the need for a separate office space has never been higher. If there’s no space within your family home for a separate office, we can help you design an outdoor garage or shed that has a dedicated workspace. We can also help you with electronic equipment needs, including Internet, ventilation, and air-conditioning options. 

Kids Play Area

Another benefit of having a garage and shed is having an outside area where your kids can play safely undercover. From drawing with chalk on the floor to playing ball games and painting on an easel, outdoor garages and sheds solve the problem of keeping your kids entertained without creating mess and mayhem in your home.

Man Cave or She Shed

Having a garage or shed makes it easy to have a corner of your home where the space is just for you. Our customisable garages and sheds can easily accommodate a bar fridge, TV, entertainment unit, and even a sink. Quiet time in your man cave or shed can be the antidote to a busy and stressful week. Melbourne Garages steel garages and Colorbond sheds can be personalised to suit all your requirements. 

Garden and Potting Sheds

Our garages and sheds in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula are a popular solution for avid gardeners. By providing a dedicated space for storing tools, supplies, and plants, our sheds and garages can also be a workspace for potting and planting. We can help you enhance your overall gardening experience by incorporating shelving, workbenches, and hooks.

Recreational Uses

Melbourne Garages sheds and garages can also be adapted for seasonal activities. In summer, fishing lines, stand-up paddle boards, eskies, and deck chairs can be stored safely. In winter, an insulated garage or shed can provide a warm and comfortable space to undertake hobbies.
