The first task should be taking stock of your gardening tools, garden furniture and other outdoor items to see if anything needs replacing.

Certain items are staples of a well-maintained garden such as hand tools, a lawn mower if required and storage containers to help keep outdoor areas clean and tidy.

Everyone needs a sturdy storage container for their garden and one of the best on the market is the Buffalo 145-litre water-resistant wheeled storage trunk. Water-resistant and weatherproof, it’s great for storing seasonal items.

Its large dimensions make it ideal for outdoor cushion storage, gardening tools, outdoor toys and sports gear for those sunny spring days.

One of the most versatile garden storage solutions on the market, it can be secured with padlocks and has moulded hand grips and four large wheels for easy mobility.

Amazing value for money, it will keep many different items safe from the elements.

It’s ideal for a multitude of garden items including the kids’ toys, BBQ equipment, animal feed, compost, wood and outdoor cushion storage.
