What Jeff said

You can get durable and cheap plastic drawers from the range for your smaller pieces of kit

A small bait fridge/freezer would be useful, if there's space, and the budget allows it.

And some Little Nipper mousetraps - believe me, the little buggers will get in there at some point!

. . .old thick carpet to keep the damp / condensation levels down (esp if you are putting a bait fridge/freezer in there)
Add bracing beams / rafters with hooks at high level so you can hang buckets with pellets / groundbait and wet nets etc creating more floorspace . . .Decent lock and contact breaker alarm

Perhaps build an internal extra secure area for valuables, an extra defence to include your lockable steel cabinet. Galvanised mesh works well, cheapest on a roll, still susceptible to a disc cutter of course but it would slow a thief down and give the autodialler some time to do its job.

agree with that - my last shed had a galv mesh layer (to make it sledgehammer proof) and an instulating layer . . .still didn't stop the mice getting through the floor over time so def mice traps a must!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
