Dual Access Garden Shed 1.76m | SpanBilt StoreMate Pool Pump Bike Storage Australia

DESCRIPTION

Need storage that's accessible from two directions? The SpanBilt StoreMate S53 features both a hinged front door AND a top-opening lid - making it the only garden shed on the market that lets you access contents from above or the front. Perfect for pool pump enclosures (top access for quick filter checks), bike storage (front door for rolling in/out), or hiding wheelie bins (top-load rubbish without opening the whole shed).

Why dual access changes everything: Traditional sheds force you to walk around and open doors for every access. This innovative design gives you options: quickly toss garden waste through the top lid, roll bikes through the front door, check pool equipment from above, or grab tools without fully opening the shed. It's the kind of thoughtful design that makes daily use genuinely easier.

The perfect pool pump solution: At 1.76m x 1.07m x 1.48m, this shed is specifically dimensioned to house pool pump and filtration systems while maintaining easy access for maintenance. The top lid lets you check gauges, clean filters, and adjust settings without opening the front door or squeezing into tight spaces. The skillion roof keeps height low enough for placement near pool fencing while the ventilation-friendly design prevents equipment overheating.

Bike storage that actually works: The 98cm wide front door accommodates most adult bikes rolling straight in - no awkward angling or lifting required. Store 2-3 bikes vertically (with internal hooks) or 1-2 bikes plus helmets, pumps, and cycling gear. The lockable design keeps expensive bikes secure from theft while protecting them from weather damage.

Hide those wheelie bins in style: Fits 2 standard wheelie bins side-by-side with the top-loading feature making rubbish disposal effortless - lift the lid, drop bags in, done. No more unsightly bins dominating your front yard or cluttering side passages. The lockable front door prevents bin theft while keeping vermin out.

Compact footprint, serious capacity: At just 1.76m wide x 1.07m deep, this fits narrow side passages, small courtyards, apartment balconies, or tight spaces between house and fence where traditional sheds won't work. The slimline 1.07m depth means it doesn't protrude awkwardly from walls while the 1.48m back height provides adequate headroom for equipment.

Assembly Made Easy: Most DIY-savvy customers complete assembly in 4-6 hours with a helper. All panels are pre-punched, components clearly labeled, and the manual provides step-by-step visual instructions. You'll need basic tools: drill/driver, adjustable wrench, level, and safety gear.

Foundation Requirements: Requires level concrete slab or paver base (minimum 1.8m x 1.2m). The masonry anchors secure the shed to concrete, essential for the dual-access design's structural integrity and wind resistance.

Placement Ideas:

• Pool area: Near pump equipment for convenient enclosure
• Front yard: Hide wheelie bins from street view
• Side passage: Narrow 1.07m depth fits tight spaces
• Apartment balcony: Compact footprint for storage
• Garage side: Overflow tool storage beside house
• Garden corner: Tuck against fence for garden tools

Why Dual Access Matters: Single-door sheds require walking around and fully opening for every access. This dual-entry design offers convenience:

• Quick checks: Lift top lid to inspect pool pump without entering
• Easy loading: Drop firewood, rubbish, or garden waste through top
• Front access: Roll bikes, equipment, or bulky items through door
• Versatility: Choose access method based on what you're retrieving
