Summary: The Ultimate Guide to Biohort Accessories

  • Modular Flexibility: Transform a standard metal shed into a bespoke workshop or storage unit using the integrated rail system.

  • Space Optimisation: Innovative solutions like the Biohort BikeLift and folding tables maximise floor space and vertical storage.

Elevating Your Garden Storage Experience

A garden shed is often only as good as its internal organisation. Without a plan, even the highest quality building can become a chaotic dumping ground for tools, bicycles, and potting equipment. However, when you invest in Biohort sheds, you aren't just buying a metal box; you are investing in a sophisticated, modular storage system designed to evolve with your lifestyle.

At elbec garden buildings, we understand that true value comes from utility. Biohort's reputation for Austrian engineering excellence extends beyond the exterior walls. By utilising the comprehensive range of Biohort accessories, you can transform a simple storage space into a highly functional hub, whether that be a bike garage, a potting station, or a secure workshop.

In our guide, we will explore the science behind these accessories, the best time to invest in your garden setup, and a detailed breakdown of the essential add-ons that solve common garden storage headaches.

Why Winter is the Smartest Time to Buy

Before we delve into the technical specifications of the accessories, it is crucial to address the timing of your project. Many customers wait until the first warm weekend of spring to think about their garden buildings. However, as industry experts, winter is arguably the most strategic time to purchase a Biohort garden shed.

The "Hidden" Inflation

Global raw material markets are cyclical, with steel and timber prices responding to shifts in demand and production costs. Biohort implemented a price increase from 1st January 2026, reflecting broader pressures across materials and manufacturing. Despite this adjustment, Biohort products continue to represent excellent value, thanks to their exceptional build quality, long service life and low ongoing maintenance. Purchasing at current prices allows you to plan with confidence, investing in a building designed to perform reliably well beyond 2026.

The "Queue Jump" Logic

Think of buying a garden building like booking a holiday. If you wait until everyone else is booking, availability drops and lead times extend. By ordering during the quieter winter period, you ensure faster delivery. You beat the spring rush, meaning whilst others are still waiting for their April delivery date, you are already enjoying a fully installed, organised shed.

The "Muddy Boots" Reality

Installing a base is the foundational step of any shed build. Doing this groundworks phase in winter, when the garden is dormant, makes practical sense. You avoid ruining your lawn just as it starts to look its best in spring. By getting the messy work done now, your garden is pristine and ready for enjoyment the moment the sun comes out.

The Biohort Difference: Material and Design

Why do we champion Biohort accessories? It comes down to the "Science of the Build." Unlike cheaper plastic or wooden alternatives, Biohort accessories are crafted from hot-dip galvanised, polyamide-coated steel plate.

This isn't just about aesthetics; it is about longevity. This material treatment effectively immunises the steel against corrosion. It requires no painting, no varnishing, and no maintenance, backed by a reassuring 20-year guarantee against corrosion. When you install a shelf or a hook in a Biohort unit, you are using components designed to handle the damp, cold UK climate without rusting or degrading.

Furthermore, the design is inherently modular. The interior of a Biohort shed features a functional internal framework. Accessories are not bolted on haphazardly; they clip, slot, and lock into place, allowing you to reconfigure your layout as your needs change over the years.

Essential Biohort Accessories

For customers planning a new purchase, a wide range of Biohort accessories is available directly on each product page under 'Choose Additional Options'. This makes it easy to tailor your shed or storage unit to suit your space use, whether that's adding shelving, tool holders, or smart access solutions.

If you already own a Biohort shed and plan to upgrade or add accessories later, our Sales Team is here to help. They can advise on compatibility, pricing and the best options for your existing model. Simply get in touch for further information.

Below, we detail the accessories that help you master your shed organisation.

Biohort Bike Lift

For cyclists, the Biohort Bike Lift is a revolutionary solution that completely reimagines how we store bicycles vertically. Traditional wall hooks often require you to wrestle with the bike, lifting it awkwardly above your head. The Biohort BikeLift eliminates this physical strain.

It features a unique spring mechanism that pulls the bike up the wall. You simply hook the front wheel at ground level, and the lift raises the bike and locks it securely in place.

  • Space Saving: Available in a standard or swivel mount, allowing the bike to fold flat against the wall to preserve floor space.
  • Universal Fit: Suitable for tyre widths up to 77mm and bicycles weighing up to 30kg (perfect for heavier E-bikes).
  • Security: Integrated locking eyelet secures the bike to the lift mechanism.

Biohort Shelf Support Rails (2 Piece)

These support rails function as the skeleton of your organisation system, perfect for hanging accessories such as suspension baskets, folding tables, and extra shelves. While some rails are included with the sheds, purchasing an additional pair offers the flexibility to utilise other walls within the structure.

  • Robust Construction: Made from strong galvanised steel to handle heavy loads.
  • Adjustable: The slotted design allows for millimetre-perfect height adjustment of your shelves.
  • Versatile: Attach to the inner walls of your garden building to expand your storage configuration.

Biohort Shelves

To maximise vertical storage, these Biohort Shelves offer the best way to improve organisation by moving items off the floor and onto the walls. Compatible with the support rails, these are not flimsy metal sheets; they are engineered to hold significant weight, making them ideal for paint cans, heavy tools, or potting compost.

  • Load Bearing: High-strength, hot-dip galvanised steel supports heavy garden equipment.
  • Integration: Mount on sturdy support rails-either on those included with your shed or on additional rails.
  • Note: Support rails are not supplied with this item and must be checked against your current setup.

Biohort Folding Table

Those who prefer a larger storage platform than shelves will appreciate the larger surface of Biohort's Folding Table, which effectively creates a workbench that disappears when not in use. In a compact garden shed, permanent workbenches consume valuable floor space. This folding solution provides a potting bench or repair station that occupies almost no space when folded down.

  • High Stability: Galvanised steel construction supports a max load of 30kg.
  • Generous Surface: 69 cm x 58 cm working area.
  • Space Efficient: Folds neatly between the support rails (rails not included).

Biohort Suspension Basket

If you are tired of losing small items in your shed, Biohort's suspension basket is an easy way to keep them safe and visible. It is the perfect receptacle for items that often clutter a drawer, such as gardening gloves, trowels, tennis balls, or cleaning rags.

  • :Visibility The black polyester netting lets you see exactly what is inside whilst allowing airflow to dry damp gloves.
  • Easy Install: Wall brackets are supplied for attaching to the support rails.
  • Robust: Suspended from a sturdy metal frame (Support rails not included).

Biohort Hook Set

For immediate grab-and-go storage, Biohort's Hook Set is ideal for hanging hoses, tools, jackets, and other items from your shed wall. Keeping the floor clear is the number one rule of shed organisation, and these hooks utilise the wall space efficiently.

  • Variety: Includes a combination of standard hooks, handle hooks, and shovel hooks.
  • Durable: A robust galvanised steel backplate bracket ensures no bending under weight.
  • Fitting: Attaches securely to support rails (not included).

Biohort Tool Hangar

Adding four more tool hangers will provide extra space to store larger tools, such as shovels or rakes, keeping dangerous items secure and upright. Leaning rakes and brooms in a corner is a recipe for a domino effect; the Biohort Tool Hangar clips them securely to the inside of the door or wall.

  • Capacity: Each hanger can suspend items weighing up to 10kg.
  • Rust Proof: Hot-dip galvanised steel construction ensures damp tools won't cause the holder to rust.
  • Installation: Effortless installation by clipping above the walls inside your shed.

Biohort Electrical Mounting Panel

Would you like to install switches and sockets in your garden building without unsightly conduit or loose wires? Biohort's electrical mounting panel is the best way to neatly conceal cables and mount switches or sockets. Whether you need power for an E-bike charger or a heater, this panel maintains the shed's sleek internal aesthetic.

  • Aesthetic: Seamlessly fits against interior walls with hidden cable routing.
  • Safety: Keeps electrical connections mounted on a dedicated galvanised steel plate.
  • Note: This is the mounting hardware only; no electrical components (sockets/switches) are included.

Biohort LED Lighting

Biohort's LED lamp is a battery-powered lighting unit for use inside your garden shed, helping you navigate a dark shed in winter. Running mains power to the bottom of the garden can be expensive; this offers a powerful, wireless alternative.

  • Brightness: 60 low-energy LEDs provide 500-600 lumens.
  • Smart Features: Optional motion sensor mode with a 2-3 metre range ensures the light is on when you need it.
  • Convenience: Rechargeable battery and USB cable included. Magnetic attachment makes it easy to remove for charging.

Biohort Threshold Access Ramp

If you are choosing the Aluminium Floor Frame for extra stability in your shed, consider including a Threshold Access Ramp. The floor frame creates a small lip at the door; this ramp smooths that transition, which is vital for heavy wheeled items.

  • Heavy Duty: Max load capacity of 200 kg, suitable for ride-on mowers and motorcycles.
  • Installation: Sits on the inside and outside of the frame for a smooth glide.
  • Compatibility: Only for use with double doors and the aluminium floor frame.

Floor Insulation Board (XPS)

Enhance Your Floor's Strength and Weather Protection. The XPS Board fits neatly beneath the Aluminium Floor Panels to enhance strength, insulation, and moisture resistance. While Biohort sheds are exceptionally dry, ground moisture can rise from the base. This insulation board acts as a thermal break and moisture barrier.

  • Moisture Resistant: The closed-cell structure and low perm rating significantly reduce water absorption.
  • Structural Integrity: Adds long-term stability to the floor panels.
  • Requirement: Only available when ordered with the Aluminium Floor Frame and Floor Panels.
