What material is used?
Every unit is built on a powder-coated aluminium extrusion frame with colour-coated aluminium composite doors. The shelving is water-resistant. The Deck Storage Box adds a water-resistant PVC foamboard floor on adjustable feet.
Aluminium is light but strong. It does not rust, and it is fully recyclable.
How do I choose the right unit size for my space?
Start by measuring your space: width, depth and height. Then list what you need to store, and note the largest items.
Every product page lists the footprint of the unit as width × depth × height. Type [S] and Type [M] suit tools, cushions and braai gear. Type [U] takes bicycles, wheelbarrows and awkward shapes. The Deck Storage Box is a low box for pool and patio items.
What is the warranty?
The colour-coated composite doors and panels carry a five-year warranty against colour fading. The powder-coated aluminium frame is weatherproof. It needs only a wash with a soft cloth and mild soapy water every few months.
Are the units fully assembled or flat-packed?
Every unit arrives fully assembled.
Where do you source your materials?
We buy all our materials from local suppliers. This keeps delivery times short. It also keeps the whole product South African, from design to manufacture.
What colour options are available?
Every unit is available in seven finishes: White, Graphite, Kia Grey, Timber, Spar Red, Freshstop Green and Ultra Marine Blue. Timber is a wood-grain finish.
Open any product page to preview the unit in each finish.
What is the difference between a gloss finish and a matte finish?
A gloss finish is reflective and easy to wipe clean. It gives the unit a sleek, modern look.
A matte finish is smooth and does not reflect light. It gives a subtle look and hides marks and fingerprints well.
Can the unit be bolted down?
Yes. The unit can be bolted to most surfaces.
Why choose Garden [S]?
Garden [S] is a lockable unit with clean lines, built for the weather. Doors open from more than one side, and the interior divides into compartments that you can rearrange. Shelves adjust or lift out.
The frame is powder-coated aluminium, and the doors carry a five-year warranty against colour fading. Our family business designs and makes every unit in South Africa.
