If your wellies and walking boots are piled up outside your front door with no protection from the elements, maybe now’s the time to invest in a robust boot store to keep things neat and tidy. The Posh Shed Company’s Gothic boot store doesn’t take up a lot of space, yet can take a lot of boots, with spaces for wellies, hiking boots, umbrellas and even packages from the postman. It has a raised floor and peaked shingled roof to help keep the worst of the rain off your footwear.

2. Burgon & Ball Tool Rack, £16.99, burgonandball.com

If you don’t plan to do much in the garden over the cooler months, invest in a good quality tool rack to hang your tools from in your shed or garage. Once you’ve cleaned them, it’s an ideal spot to find what you’re looking for rather than having to rummage through boxes or along shelves to find your favourite pruners. This tool rack takes 11 clips (but comes with five, you can buy more separately), one for each tool, and can accommodate everything from spades to secateurs.

Its felted roof should keep things dry – and it comes with a 15-year guarantee against rot.

Don’t you just love the idea of being able to store your garden cushions directly under where you’ve been sitting on them? This clever storage bench allows you to do that, so you can enjoy the sunny days of autumn in comfort and quickly put all your cushions away during a sudden downpour. The bench easily seats two, and is made of weather resistant material with a wood panel look and is lockable, so if you’re storing any valuable tools in there, at least you can lock them up. It comes in three colour combinations: beige/brown, anthracite/grey/beige, and brown.

Built with two wheels at one end and appropriate handles, you can easily move it from one side of your patio to another, or into a more hidden area of your outside space until you need it. You can also lock the lid in place when you’re taking out or replacing cushions.
