play and work in the comfort of their backyards. From keeping pool toys
to rakes organized and out of the way, these ideas will allow you to
focus less on the mess and more on the fun at hand.

Here are some simple tips to keep your outdoor spaces cleaner and more organized:
Storage Bench -
Use a storage bench to keep your
gardening gloves, tools and children's outdoor toys. Available in a wide
variety of sizes and styles, you can find the bench that fits your
décor. Plus, they offer an extra seating area when you have company.
Bundle Cords -
No one likes the unsightly appearance
or hazard of cords. Before your gatherings, bundle together stereo and
electronic chords that are exposed, as well as any cords that run across
the lawn. Helpful products, such as Velcro One-Wrap ties, keep your
items bound tight and out of sight.
Paver Pots -
Use old pavers to create plant
containers. Simply stack the pavers together making a square shape. The
heavy weight of the pavers keeps the dirt and plant contained together.

Deck Space -
Use the space under your deck for
additional, out-of-sight storage. Tuck plastic lidded storage containers
underneath for easy access to children's sporting goods and toys.
Mesh Bags -
Pool toys, rafts and inner tubes need a
space to dry off. Use mesh bags so these summer toys properly are
properly dried, preventing mildew or molding.
Proper Plant Care -
Stock up on essentials for a
healthy garden, including the tools to make plant seedlings thrive, such
as Velcro Peel Away seed pots. These pots make it easy to remove the
pots without disturbing the roots, making transitions from pot to flower
bed flawless.
Repurpose Furniture -
Turn old furniture pieces,
such as old filing cabinets, into instant garage storage solutions. Take
out the drawers of the cabinet and turn it on its side. Each empty
drawer area provides a spot for large items like brooms, shovels and
rakes.

Fence Storage -
Turn old coffee or paint cans into
storage bins for smaller gardening tools like hand shovels and pruning
shears. For easy access while in the garden, cut holes and use rope to
hang around a close-by fence post.
Tires -
Stack old tires on top of each other for an
outdoor toy container that kids can easily access. Paint the outside to
match the color of your house or whatever color you fancy.
End of Season Storage -
Keep your garage area tidy
by organizing similar tools together. Use One-Wrap ties to keep
gardening tools grouped together, or to keep hoses tightly coiled and
out of the way. This product also comes in a variety of colors and sizes
so that you can keep everything neat and organized.
