Robotic lawn mower garages: reliable protection for the robotic lawn mower

 

Robotic lawn mowers are becoming increasingly popular. More and more home gardeners no longer want to do without these handy lawn care aids. This is hardly surprising given the time savings associated with their use.

 

To ensure that this expensive purchase is optimally protected against the weather, it is highly recommended that you also buy a suitable robotic lawnmower garage directly.

 

The main advantages of a robot mower garage at a glance

 

• The shelter protects the robot mower from heavy rain and hail.

• The garage protects the robot mower from the sun, preventing the battery from overheating.

• The charging station is also protected from moisture, preventing short circuits.

• The use of a suitable garage contributes to a long life of the robot mower.

 

Why a suitable robotic mower garage is essential

 

A good robotic mower can quickly cost well over £500. Some models have even reached over 1,000 euros. That's definitely a lot of money. Considering the huge labour savings a robotic lawnmower can bring, however, the investment should seem worthwhile for many garden owners.

 

In addition, high-quality devices can usually score with a long lifespan, so there is nothing to stop regular use for many years. This is at least true if the device is treated with care and protected from the weather. The latter is particularly easy to ensure with a suitable shelter in the form of a robot mower garage.

 

What distinguishes a good robot mower garage?

 

Lawn mower garages are available in many different models. Many home gardeners even resort to a shelter that they have built themselves. Basically, it is important to make sure that the robotic lawn mower garage is made of sturdy materials when buying or building your own. This is the only way to ensure that the shelter offers sufficient protection from storms.

 

A simple cloth cover or even a simple cardboard box are therefore conceivably unsuitable and in no way a good substitute for a proper robotic mower garage. Instead, opt for galvanised metal models, for example. With these, you can be sure that you don't have to worry about weather resistance.

 

Alternatively, a small wooden carport is also suitable for protecting your robotic mower from the elements. With this option, however, you should keep in mind that you will probably have to repaint the shelter from time to time, as the wood will otherwise suffer from the weather.

 

In addition to metal and wooden models, there are also plastic garages. Provided that the material used is of good quality, plastic sheds are also weatherproof and usually quite durable. In particular, garages, which manufacturers of robotic mowers offer as accessories, are very often made of plastic.

 

Various types of garages for robotic mowers

 

Robotic mower garages are available in various styles. Common models differ not only in terms of materials, but more importantly in terms of construction.

 

Buyers of a robotic mower garage can essentially choose between three different variants:

1. Garages for lawn mowers with only the front open

2. Lawnmower garages in the form of a carport with a roof and rear wall

3. Lawnmower garages with a garage door that can be closed

 

 

In addition to the visual aspects, when choosing a particular design, it should be borne in mind that the different variants also differ in their function and protection of the lawnmower robot. For example, a garage that is open on three sides makes it easier for the robot mower to enter and exit. But at the same time, it also offers it slightly less protection than a three-sided model.

 

How much does a robot mower garage cost?

 

The person who wants to buy a suitable garage for his mowing robot, of course also wants to know what costs he should expect. Like the robotic mowers themselves, the price range for garages is also relatively wide.

 

However, inexpensive models are available from just under 60 euros. However, depending on the material and design, it is also quite possible to spend 250 to 300 euros for a robotic lawnmower garage. In general, however, you don't have to invest that much money to get a good quality product.

 

This will keep the initial cost of your new robotic mower garage manageable. Either way, you need to keep in mind that the investment is worth it. After all, a robotic mower is significantly more expensive than a suitable garage. Protecting the device will thus help you avoid costly repairs due to weather damage.

 

What are the arguments against buying a gardening robot?

 

Generally, the many advantages of a robotic lawnmower garage clearly outweigh the disadvantages, which is why buying a suitable shelter is definitely a good decision. The additional costs associated with the purchase are worth it, simply because the expensive robotic mower can be better protected by its garage and the likelihood of damage to the unit can thus be significantly reduced.

 

However, of course, you have to keep in mind that the shelter needs space. So ideally, a suitable location should already be chosen when planning the garden.

 

Aside from that, many home gardeners feel that the robotic mower shed detracts from the overall look of their garden. In fact, this may well be true in the case of plastic sheds. Fortunately, there is a very wide choice, from garages in the form of small garden sheds to carports on the roof of which you can plant flowers. So it shouldn't be too difficult to find a garage for the robotic lawnmower that matches the rest of the garden design.

 

Does every robotic lawnmower need a garage?

 

Some robot mowers are waterproof. You may even have one of these models that you can easily clean up debris with a garden hose. So you may be wondering if a garage for your waterproof robot mower is really necessary.

 

In principle, we also advise in this case to buy a suitable shelter. Because this will protect your lawnmower robot on the one hand from excessive sunlight and on the other hand offer additional protection to the robot and the charging station, if a somewhat stronger storm occurs.

 

Selecting the right location for the robot lawn garage

 

Once you have decided and purchased a particular garage for your robotic lawn mower, the next thing to do is of course to install the shelter. In order for the device to charge, the location of the garage should of course be in the same place as the charging station of the robotic lawnmower, and therefore close enough to an electrical outlet.

 

Aside from that, it is important that the ground is as flat as possible and free of vegetation if possible. So if necessary, you will need to work the ground accordingly before putting up the shelter. Ideally, the floor of the robotic lawnmower garage should be paved or covered with gravel. It is possible to place the robotic mower garage on grass. However, a plant-free basement provides additional protection for your robotic lawn mower.

 

Building the robotic mower garage

 

The effort associated with construction varies by model. Metal or plastic robotic lawnmower garages can usually be assembled in a few simple steps, while wooden sheds are usually supplied in individual pieces that must first be assembled. Normally, however, this also goes without a hitch, so your robotic lawnmower shelter should be ready to use quickly.

 

 

How the robotic mower knows when to enter the garage

 

In order for the waterproof lawnmower robot garage to fulfill its purpose, the lawnmower robot obviously needs to know when to get in. Depending on the device, this works in different ways.

 

For example, the lawnmower robot can head to its charging station in the garage on its own when its battery is low or it has finished its mowing program. Some models are also equipped with a rain sensor. In this case, the robot mower will independently seek its garage when it rains.

 

You've decided to buy a smart robot mower, you can usually also conveniently control it with an app on your smartphone and have it drive to its charging station in the garage if a storm is approaching.

 

Robot mowers don't just have to go in the garage when it rains

 

Of course, the main purpose of the garage is to protect the robot mower from the weather and avoid damage to the unit. However, this does not mean that you should otherwise leave it wandering around the garden unattended at all times.

 

For example, if you have children and they are playing on the lawn, you should keep your robotic mower in the garage for safety reasons. This also applies at night, as nocturnal animals often move around in the dark, for which the robotic mower can also pose a serious risk.

 

Robot mower garages do not offer winter protection

 

You may be considering simply leaving your robot mower in its garage during the winter months. However, that's not a good idea. For one thing, the cold weather can damage the battery, and for another, the humidity of the cold season can lead to corrosion of your robotic mower's parts.

 

So to avoid costly damage and contribute to a long lifespan, you should under no circumstances leave your robotic mower in its garage during the winter, but instead store it well protected and dry.
