5 Ways to Keep Your Garden Organised This Summer

As the sun starts to shine and the days get longer, summer is the perfect time to declutter, refresh, and organise your garden. Whether you're settling into a new home or simply making the most of the season, having a clear, well-organised outdoor space can make your summer feel calmer, more enjoyable, and easier to manage.

At Keter, we believe in creating functional storage solutions that not only help reduce clutter but also blend seamlessly into your lifestyle. With our range of durable, weather-resistant resin storage options, it’s easier than ever to keep your garden organised this summer. Here are five simple and effective ways to make the most of your outdoor space.

Summer naturally draws us outside more often - whether it's relaxing in the garden, enjoying a BBQ, or hosting friends. But with more outdoor activity comes more outdoor clutter. Cushions, toys, gardening tools, and BBQ accessories all need a place to live.

Organising your outdoor space starts with proper storage. Weather-resistant storage made from durable resin can provide the ideal solution. These units are built to withstand the unpredictable British weather, are low maintenance, and offer a clean, tidy way to keep outdoor items protected and out of sight. Plus, the neutral tones and modern designs can enhance the look of your garden or patio.

Top Tip: Group outdoor items into categories (e.g., tools, toys, leisure) and assign a dedicated storage area for each. This not only keeps things neat but also makes everything easier to find.

A shed can be much more than just a place to stash tools. With a bit of thought, it can become a well-organised hub for everything from gardening gear to hobby supplies.

Start by clearing out anything broken or unused. Then, look at how your space is laid out. Add hooks, shelving or pegboards to create vertical storage and maximise your floor space. For seasonal items, use stackable storage bins or labelled boxes to make retrieval easier. The key is to keep items visible and accessible.

Keter’s resin sheds are particularly useful for this. Not only do they offer superior durability compared to wooden alternatives, but they’re also easier to maintain and often feature built-in ventilation to reduce condensation. Their robust structure makes them ideal for long-term organisation solutions.

Top Tip: Store frequently used items at eye level or in the front of your shed and use the higher shelves or rear sections for less frequently used supplies.

Summer brings a whole host of new daily essentials—from sun cream and picnic blankets to outdoor games and gardening gloves. Having a designated place for these items prevents them from cluttering your garden furniture or getting lost in the house.

Consider using resin deck boxes or smaller outdoor cabinets for these frequently used items. Their weatherproof nature means you can store them close to your back door, conservatory or garden gate, ready to grab and go. Some models even double up as seating, offering an extra practical feature for smaller gardens.

It’s not just outdoor spaces that benefit. Many Keter storage solutions can be used in utility rooms, porches or garages, making it easy to transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Top Tip: Create a dedicated "summer grab box" for your family with sun hats, SPF, a ball or frisbee, and a picnic mat—perfect for spontaneous summer fun.

Summer can generate more waste than usual, especially with garden parties, BBQs, and home improvement projects in full swing. Keeping bins organised and out of sight makes your space more attractive and hygienic.

Resin bin stores are a tidy and efficient way to conceal wheelie bins or recycling boxes. These storage units are lockable, ventilated, and designed to blend into their surroundings. By streamlining your waste areas, you can reduce odours, discourage pests, and create a cleaner environment overall.

Top Tip: Keep a small caddy inside your home for sorting recyclables before taking them out. It saves time and keeps your kitchen clutter-free.

One of the best ways to stay organised year-round is to rotate seasonal items. Storing away winter tools or decorations and bringing out summer gear helps free up space and keeps your garden feeling fresh.

Choose modular storage solutions that are easy to access and maintain. Resin storage units are perfect for this—they won’t warp, rust or rot, and many are lockable for added security. Labelling boxes clearly and keeping an inventory can help make seasonal transitions smoother.

Whether you store items in a shed, garage, utility area or outdoor cabinet, having a seasonal system in place makes it easier to find what you need and avoid unnecessary clutter.

Top Tip: Use clear boxes or create a simple checklist so you know exactly what’s stored where when it’s time to switch things over.
