Mat, order & organization speaks volumes about you're attitude to you're business. I am a stickler for this. I recall a customer commenting on my Van how clean it was & the arrangement of the inside. He then said "THE VAN & IT'S ORDER TELLS ME WHAT QUALITY OF WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN MY GARDEN". Regards Jim from J.S.G.S

[@MrGardener18]

Jim Shanks very true I have had customer comment on my van aswell it give a good impression to the customer that you take care and pride in you work.

[@kieranthorburn8421]

Thanks for the tips I have a 2014 connect with no organisation in yet. So I’ll be doing something similar I think

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

[@MrGardener18]

thegeordiefellwalker you to enjoy the sunny weather next week

[@CopperCreekCuts]

[@LHLgardenservices]

Very neat Mathew.👍👍

[@jasonfork6710]

Cracking job! Thanks for sharing your work :)

[@gaurapms]

Good set up and good video mine starts off tidy beginning of the week by Wed it’s a mess again

[@MrGardener18]

I must admit it the same for me but it dose help if you have clear place to put things, eventually it become habit to put thing back in there place after using them

[@mikewood4378]

Your video was fine and I did get some ides for my lawncare van but the music made it difficult to hear and understand what you were saying. I did give you a Like. Thanks for your time. Mike from Alabama

[@MrGardener18]

Thanks for your honesty appraisal of the video. I'm glad you still found it useful.

[@thomascooper8200]

Great setup love the shelves nice and tidy keep the good vid coming

[@MrGardener18]

Thomas Cooper thanks mate

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

Very well organised 👌🏼

[@jasongardener3425]

Nice lay out mate 👍

[@MrGardener18]

👍👍

[@GregsMowing]

Great set up. Very organised. Personally I would find having to fold down the side to get something out to be annoying day in day out. Great racking a lot cheaper than a metal version. Great ford van.

[@MrGardener18]

Thank mate the folding doors are something that we will probably change but they do keep everything from moving around to much.

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Hope the connect has improved, my old boss bought one when they first came out, it was the most uncomfortable van I'd ever been in! You're van is a lot tidyer than mine, I have an nv 200 which is a bit bigger but I think I put too much in it!

[@andrewsteer2603]

I have a transit and my issue is green waste, I never have enough room in the back for everything. I find the size of the van frustrating.

[@MrGardener18]

I know what you mean there's not a whole lot of space in them at all especially if you want to take rubbish away or have more than one mower.

[@MrGardener18]

let me know in the comments what your think of my van set up and any suggestions or improvements. plus check out affiliate links in the description box for tool featured in this video

[@pablo9364]

Great van set up. Would you have preferred the longer wheelbase version or was this perfectly adequate . I’m just wondering would any decent lawn mower fit

[@MrGardener18]

definably the longer wheelbase is worth a look. its a little tight for a big mower and tool in the standard length. it something i will be looking at when i replace this van

[@josephmccole4132]

Very cool. Is it easy enough to board out the inside of a van?

[@MrGardener18]

Joseph McCole the van was already ply line when we got it which was one of the reason we bought the van. What we did wasn't very difficult and there are plenty of places which can line a van for you.

[@josephmccole4132]

Hi Matt. I'm planning to rack out my Citroen despatch SWB in a similar way. Its already ply lined. Can I ask what screws you used? Obviously I don't want to go through the ply and into the actual van! Thanks

[@MrGardener18]

We used a combination of wood screws and self tapping metal screw as you will have to screw into the van body work it's totally fine it's double skined so you won't damage the van

[@diesel_man99]

Can u fit a ton bag full in there

[@MrGardener18]

Easy. I believe the capacity is 1 and a 1/2 pallet or ton bags.

[@diesel_man99]

@@MrGardener18 do u not use a ton bag for collecting greenery

[@MrGardener18]

@@diesel_man99 most of my job I'm able I've to uses the bin or they have compost heaps. I tend to avoid one clearance job as I don't able to deal with the waste.
