I'm getting a van soon & have trawled through so many setups online, none of them have looked right for me. Finally I've come across yours & it's very much on the lines I'm looking for. I will be taking inspiration, thanks for sharing!

Nothing better than seeing how a fellow gardener set up their van. Very nice in deed

I've been a gardener for about 7 years now and always trying to make the van more efficient! This was incredibly helpful as I use a lot of the same Stihl and Wolf Garten equipment so I'll be putting a few of these tips to use in the new van😎 Love the waste removal space. Cheers

[@perryevans3544]

Interesting set up. In the past I've had small vans and struggled with space. I've had Vauxhall combie and dispatch l1h1. Now got a l2h2 Citroën relay. So much better. More space. Now have 3 long shelfs on the right side and can easily get all my tools in. Lawn mower goes in on the side door and sits underneath the rack. My 10 foot henchmen ladders are kept above my rack suspended inside on the roof. That leaves space for one ton garden waste bags. I can get at least 10 bags. I don't have a need for a trailer. The best set up I've ever had. 👍

[@andrewsteer2603]

I have a transit connect and it's a nightmare for dealing with waste. I have to take my mower out for big jobs. Looking to get something bigger.

[@perryevans3544]

@Andrew Steer is definitely worth getting; fuel consumption isn't great. A full tank of fuel costs £110 and I get around 450 miles. Having the space is great; it feels more organised

When I saw the box I thought you were making a false floor to hide ladders out of the way, saving time fiddling with roof racks. Loving the smaller bags. I use ton bags because that’s what my building materials come in but the 600s are definitely a good idea.

I think the connect is just the right size for a gardener, I only got rid of mine because I got broke into so many times, hope you have dead locks. having a tidy van, IMHO shows the kind of person you are and the kind of workmanship you will do, I hate having to unload stuff to get to one tool, Having everything organized so well, means, for me anyway, I know if something is missing IE left behind. the one thing I really miss about the connect is the single side door, meaning you can utilise the right hand side a lot better.

[@jasongardener3425]

Yeah, the connect is a nice size van, plus economical, which is getting more and more important, as fuel is going up, it different help being tidy with tools etc and can reflect in our work. Cheers mate and happy new year 👍🍻

Hi Jason. Can I please ask what brand the waste bags are? Nice handy liftable size. Thanks

Thanks mate, yes, I have to do a waste transfer note and all goes to local green commercial waste site, its minimum charge of £30 up to a ton. Happy New year 👍🍻

Looks spot on Thanks for sharing. I’m not long started and just got my first big van (used to have a berlingo). Is that a ramp you made for taking the mower ou on the leftt? I was looking up online to get a metal one but they’re pricey for what they are. Although running the risk of doing my back in it might be worth it.

[@jasongardener3425]

Cheers mate. If your only using walk behind mowers, I personally think make a simple wooden ramp, metal or good, but iv found them horrible to use 10x a day. 👍😀

Bit more organised than my van! In fairness, I probably take too many tools but I like to be prepared for anything. As you probably know, you can be asked to do all manner of things!
