Advantages of a wooden garden tool shed

Wood is recommended as a material for garden tool sheds. Wood is a renewable natural material, so a wooden garden shed is particularly sustainable on the one hand and also blends harmoniously into the garden design on the other. The garden tool sheds from Karibu are made of Nordic spruce. This wood is very durable and is well suited for outdoors as it absorbs very little moisture. However, a wooden garden tool shed should always be placed on a foundation or a dry surface made of floor slabs if possible so that it lasts longer.

Another advantage of a wooden garden shed is that any damage that may occur to the garden shed over time can be repaired by yourself. Damaged areas can simply be sanded down and repainted. This means that the garden tool shed shines in its most beautiful splendour for years.

What to consider when buying a wooden tool shed

When choosing a garden tool shed, various aspects are important. First of all, you should think about how big you want the garden tool shed to be: What do you want to put in the garden shed? Should only the garden tools be put in or perhaps also bicycles or children's vehicles? How much space is there in the garden for the garden shed?

If the garden shed is really only to be used as a tool shed, a small wall thickness of 14 mm is sufficient for smaller dimensions up to approx. 5 sqm. If the garden tool shed is to be larger or if it is also to be used for the stay or overwintering of container plants, thicker wall thicknesses should be used.

The Karibu garden sheds with a wall thickness of 14 mm and water-repellent profiling are available in system or element construction. The garden tool sheds in prefabricated construction are particularly quick to set up, as they are assembled from large wall elements. But the construction of our equipment sheds in system construction is also done quickly.

The shape of the roof and the equipment can be selected according to personal ideas and according to one's own needs. Whether classic gable roof or modern monopitch roof, single-leaf or double-leaf door, with or without windows - at Karibu you will find wooden garden sheds for every taste and need.

By the way: As a shelter for lawnmowers, leaf blowers and the like, in addition to a free-standing building, a garden house whose back wall borders your house is also suitable.

Expand garden tool shed with add-on cabinet

The space in the garden shed can also be expanded very well with an extension roof or an add-on cabinet as a garden cabinet.

An extension roof provides an additional roof, where you can store lawn ride-on mowers, for example, but also scooters, bicycles and garden furniture in a dry place. You can also create an additional small covered seating area with an extension roof to your tool shed. With an optionally available rear wall for the extension roof, you provide even more protection against wind and weather.

More storage space and quick access to important garden utensils is also offered by an add-on cabinet, which can be easily added to the garden tool shed. This way you expand the space and have even more of your tool shed.

How high can a garden house be?

The permitted height of a garden tool shed depends on the state in which the garden shed is to be installed. Depending on the federal state, garden sheds from 2.50 m or from 3 m are subject to approval. This means that a building permit is required for higher equipment sheds. However, a high height is not necessary for a garden tool shed, so these regulations usually do not carry any weight. The wooden houses from the Karibu garden shed series are all under 2.50 m high, so the prescribed height in your state should not matter. However, it is better to inquire beforehand.

How big can a garden house be without a building permit?

How big a garden house can be without needing a building permit also depends on the federal state. In addition to the height, which may not exceed 2.50 m or 3 m without a building permit, depending on the federal state, the area or the number of cubic meters also plays a role.

In Bavaria, Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia, garden tool sheds with volumes of up to 75 cubic metres may be built without a permit. With a height of 2.50 m, an area of 30 square meters is possible.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, garden sheds are subject to approval from 50 cubic metres, in Baden-Württemberg and Lower Saxony from 40 cubic metres and in Hamburg, Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein from 30 cubic metres.

In Berlin, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saarland, buildings with more than 10 square metres are generally subject to approval, which applies to some garden tool sheds.

In addition, there is a regulation that a garden house without a permit may run a maximum of 9 meters along the neighboring border. In addition, the regulations of the development plan should also be observed, here too there may be specifications for garden houses.

But no matter what regulations apply in your place of residence: At Karibu, you are sure to find exactly the wooden garden shed that suits your ideas and the local regulations.

How does a wooden garden shed have to be maintained?

Before assembly, a wooden garden tool shed should first be treated with a primer such as blue stain barrier primer and then with wood protection to make it very resistant to weather conditions such as wind, rain and snow as well as pests. It is important to complete this step before assembly, as the wooden parts should be treated from all sides if possible.

For wooden garden sheds, a glaze or an open-pored wood protection paint should be used so that the wood can breathe. This paint should be renewed from time to time and damage repaired.

It is also important for a long service life of your garden shed that you plant bushes and other plants at a distance of about two meters from the house. If the plants are too close or even snake up the wall of the wooden tool shed, the wood is not sufficiently ventilated.

If all these care tips are followed, you will enjoy your Karibu garden tool shed for a long time.
