Father’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re struggling to come up with a gift idea for your dad this holiday, think about buying him something for his storage shed! Here are some gift ideas that are sure to benefit any shed-lover.
Security Devices
If your father stores a lot of valuable tools and equipment in his shed, a security device could make an excellent gift. It doesn’t have to be high-tech, either. A motion-activated alarm is an easy way to deter any would-be thieves. Or, if you’re looking for something a little less expensive, window and door alarms will do the trick.
Storage Shelves
It’s not hard for storage sheds to become cluttered and jumbled, so why not give your dad the gift of organization? Storage shelves are a surefire way to not only organize a shed, but create a good bit of extra storage space.
Depending on what your father stores in his shed, you may need to purchase some specialized storage units. For example, if your dad uses his shed for tools and hardware, some tool shelves would make a great addition to his shed. For gardening equipment, consider buying some hanging tool storage for items like rakes and shovels.
Solar Powered Lights
Solar powered lights are a great gift idea for any dad who spends a lot of time working inside his shed. Only being able to work in your shed during daylight hours can be an inconvenience, but running electricity to a shed is expensive and time-consuming. Luckily, solar powered lights are an excellent alternative, and they equip a shed for round-the-clock use.
Insect Repellents
When spending time in or around a storage shed, you’re bound to face at least a few pesky bugs, especially during the summertime. Give your father a way to fend off the insects, and buy him some sort of insect repellent for his shed. Things like electronic bug zappers, spray repellents, and even ultrasonic pest repellers are effective at keeping bugs at bay.
Ramp
If your dad keeps heavy equipment in his storage shed, like a lawn mower or wheelbarrow, a ramp will make loading and unloading these items a breeze. Even better, using a ramp means there will be less wear and tear on equipment, which saves money in the long run. What’s more, not only do ramps increase mobility, but they also significantly decrease the risk of accidents happening from lifting heavy equipment.
Bluetooth Speaker
No matter what your father uses his shed for, music will be a welcome addition to the space. A bluetooth speaker is an easy, affordable way to listen to some tunes while doing work in the shed, or anywhere for that matter! Bluetooth speakers are extremely portable, so your dad will be able to bring music with him wherever he goes.
Decorations
Give your dad’s shed some additional flair, and buy him some decorative elements for his shed this Father’s Day. Things like shutters, bird feeders, and weathervanes are extremely effective at sprucing up a shed’s exterior.
As far as interior decorations go, the options are endless. Think about your father’s likes and hobbies, and go from there. Whether it’s a personalized sign, a throw rug, or a family photo, it’ll surely help to customize your dad’s shed and make it his own.
Space Heater or Fan
Chances are, your dad’s shed probably doesn’t have heat or air conditioning. So, consider getting him a fan, space heater, or even a portable air conditioner to help make the temperature inside the shed more comfortable in the heat or cold. Your father will be thankful that he can work in his shed no matter the outside temperature.
Coveralls for Messy Projects
If your father is a handyman or does a lot of DIY projects, you can’t go wrong with some coveralls as a Father’s Day gift. Coveralls eliminate the risk of ruining nice clothing with mud, oil, and paint, and they’re easy to slip on and off over clothes, making your dad’s life just a little bit easier. It may be a practical gift, but it will definitely get used!
