keter compact midi shed

For a small garden the Keter compact midi shed provides more than enough space to store all your garden essentials in one convenient shed that can be positioned almost anywhere in a small garden, and ensures that all your garden tools and equipment and safely stored and ready for use. And talking about ready for use... this article also shows you how to give your garden tools an annual makeover.

My garden shed has definitely seen better days and is slowly falling apart plank by plank, in fact the door fell off quite a while back. I have been trying to decide where to stick the garden tools. On one of my many trips to Builders Warehouse I came across the Keter midi compact shed. It's small enough to fit anywhere in the garden, yet large enough to accommodate the lawnmower, edge trimmer, and all my other tools and equipment.

If you are getting the garden organised with a new storage shed, take the time to give your tools a good clean, or give them a makeover, before putting them away.

Garden Shears and Cutters




You can use your Dremel Multitool and a polishing head to quickly and easily sharpen up a pair of garden shears. Have a can of Q20 handy to oil them as well. You can also clean cordless shears with a buffing head to remove any built up residue that blocks the movement. LEFT: My ISIO garden shears before - RIGHT: And after.


Lawnmower and Edge Trimmer


You should clean these after every use, but that isn't always the case. Remove any build up underneath with warm water and dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. If your lawnmower blades are slightly blunt you can also use the Dremel Multitool and polishing stone head to sharpen them up.

Using a Dremel Multitool to sharpen blades


1. Refer to your lawn mower owner's manual for proper blade removal instructions.

2. Clean any dirt and debris from the blade. After securing the blade in a vise, sharpen the blade with the lawn mower sharpener attachment, following the original bevelled edge of the blade. Recommended speed: 25,000 rpm.
