Instead of buying a garden tool storage, that you will need to make room for in your garden, why not turn your bench into a storage?

In order to create this, all you need are your garden bench, wood planks, drills, screwdriver, screws, and marking tools. This is done by turning the four stands into a long box. Cover the back, front, and right side of the stands and make a door at the left side so you can open and close the tool storage. And for the finishing touch, paint your bench in any color you like that will compliment your garden.
