Outdoor Storage

Outdoor Play Equipment Storage

Outdoor storage means sheds, stores and lockable units that keep loose parts, PE kit and wheeled toys tidy, dry and secure, so a busy playground stays clear and ready to use.

Outdoor Play Equipment Storage
What it is

Outdoor Play Equipment Storage

Outdoor play storage is a weatherproof, lockable unit, from a compact store to a walk-in shed, made to hold the equipment an outdoor area runs on: loose parts, balls and PE kit, wheeled toys, sand and water play and construction sets. It keeps everything in one dry, organised place.

For a school this is what keeps the outdoors usable. Gear that lives outside gets soaked, worn and lost, whereas a store beside the play space means equipment is dry, accounted for and quick to reach, so setting up and tidying away take minutes rather than eating into the day.

Good to know

Sizing and siting a store

The right store depends on what you keep and how you use it. Wheeled toys and large loose parts need floor space and a wide opening, while balls, hoops and smaller kit suit shelved units, so it is worth listing your equipment before choosing a size. Doors wide enough for the biggest item make daily access far easier.

Where the store sits matters as much as the store itself. Placing it close to where equipment is used cuts carrying and encourages tidying away, and a firm, level base keeps it stable, dry underneath and long-lasting. We help you plan both the unit and its position.

FAQs

Outdoor Storage: common questions

What size outdoor store do we need?

It depends on what you store. Wheeled toys and large loose parts need a walk-in shed with floor space, while balls and PE kit suit smaller shelved units. We recommend listing your equipment first, then choosing a size and door width to match.

Is the storage weatherproof?

Yes. Units are built and finished to keep contents dry through British weather, and siting them on a firm, level base keeps the floor dry underneath too. That protects equipment from damp and rot and helps it last much longer.

Can the storage be locked securely?

Yes. Stores are supplied lockable so equipment is secure out of hours and out of reach of younger children during the day. This is useful for wheeled toys, PE kit and anything you would rather was not left freely accessible.

Where is the best place to put an outdoor store?

Close to where the equipment is used is usually best, as it cuts carrying and makes tidying away quick and routine. It should sit on a firm, level base with clear access to the doors. We can advise on siting as part of planning your outdoor area.
