A shed to shed clutter

Product from Down Under helps homeowners create more storage space

- By MAE LORRAINE R. LORENZO

It may be hard to admit, but a typical Filipino household won’t be complete without some signs of clutter. More often than not, most homes in the Philippine­s are often filled to the brim with items accumulate­d over the years.

These items could be anything— last Christmas’ decoration­s, wedding or baptismal souvenirs, children’s old toys (they are now well into their teens), and other items that have sentimenta­l value (well, it’s hard letting go!).

Now even if most would try to reduce items acquired through time (throwing away stuff, KonMari-style), we are still left with too many items inside the home. A company from Australia now offers a practical storage solution by storing all items in a “shed.”

EasyShed has just entered the Philippine­s and it offers easy-to-install storage solutions for all types of home. The brand takes away the hassle of building an extra space in the house from the ground up by offering a modular tool that simply builds into an extra shed for your abode. The shed offers ample space that can store a variety of things—from hardly-used appliances, knick-knacks, and excess gear like a mountain bike or gardening tools for a new-found hobby.

These sheds can be set up outdoors as an extra container that can be placed in the garage or as a modern tool shed in the garden. The EasyShed is quite sturdy too, built to last even in tropical climates like the Philippine­s. It doesn’t easily detach even during strong winds or typhoons.

All sheds are 100 percent rustfree due to its unique material made of high-quality Australian Colourbond steel, a material that is manufactur­ed via a unique and thorough process that reinforces the steel shed. It is also easy to assemble so household owners don’t have to worry about hiring a handyman just to put up the extra storage space.

“EasyShed storage solutions are built to last. We guarantee that your shed will be as strong as the day you built it after 20 years, even if it’s exposed to harsh weather conditions,” says Brent Denning, chief executive officer of MFC Distributi­on Corp., EasyShed distributo­r in the country.

There are three types of sheds to choose from: Yard King, for those who need to store large items like bikes and bulky toolbox; the Garden Pro for those who need space to stash gardening tools including sacks of fertilizer; and the Tidy House Slider, a tool shed that’s ideal for homes with limited rooms to set up a new storage space. The brand also offers a wide selection of colors and designs, all of which sport a clean aesthetic that blends well with any home.

“What’s ideal with EasyShed is that it is very easy to set up. You don’t need special tools or special skills. The technology was created so anyone

in the household, who knows his or her way around simple tools, could put it up. It’s literally, an easy shed,” adds Denning.

“This is a practical solution in this day and age where we have to maximize the use of space.”
