Which robotic lawnmower garage is the right one?

Published on 05.05.2025

A robotic lawnmower is a valuable aid in the garden – but sun, rain, and wind can take their toll on this little garden helper over time. To ensure your robotic lawnmower's long-term reliability, a suitable garage is essential. But which robotic lawnmower garage is the right one? In this article, you'll learn what to consider when selecting a robotic lawnmower, including its materials and features.


Why does a robotic lawnmower need a garage?

During the summer months, the robotic lawnmower is in use almost daily – in hot, wet conditions, or strong UV radiation. These weather conditions can:

  • damage the electronics

  • make the battery age faster

  • shorten the lifespan

A robotic lawnmower garage protects both the device and the charging station – making it a worthwhile investment.


Structure and function of a robotic lawnmower garage

Typically, robotic lawnmower garages consist of:

  • a protective roof

  • two to three side walls

  • an open access to the lawn

Some models even offer a lockable gate or smart features with app control for additional theft protection.


What types of robotic lawnmower garages are there?

Depending on your needs and budget, there are different options:

  1. Manufacturer-specific models
    A perfect fit for specific robotic lawnmower models, with optimal protection and easy integration.

  2. Universal garages
    Cheaper, but often with a less perfect fit.

  3. Self-built garages
    A creative option for hobbyists – individual, but requires more effort.


Materials in comparison

material Advantages Disadvantages
plastic Weatherproof, lightweight, easy to care for Susceptible to extreme cold
Wood Natural design, customizable Care-intensive, heavy
metal Stable, durable Heat build-up possible, susceptible to rust
Wire frame + filling Greenable, visually appealing Expensive, complex installation

Tip: Ensure good air circulation to avoid heat build-up in summer.


Design & appearance: more than just function

The selection ranges from simple plastic models to transparent roofs to garages in the style of a doghouse or car garage. For particularly style-conscious garden owners, there are:

  • plantable roofs

  • individually paintable wooden garages

  • modern designs with glass or polycarbonate

It is important that the design fits the garden – and at the same time offers protection from rain and UV radiation.


Assembly & practicality

  • Plastic or metal garages can usually be secured with ground nails.

  • Wooden garages are often freestanding – their own weight ensures stability.

  • Make sure the roof can be opened – this makes it easier to operate your robotic lawnmower.


Winter time: What to do?

Robotic lawnmower garages do not offer frost protection . In sub-zero temperatures, you should:

  • Store the robotic lawnmower and the charging station in a frost-free place

  • Also store plastic garages indoors to avoid material damage


Our conclusion: The right garage for your robotic lawnmower

Which robotic lawnmower garage is right for you depends on your individual needs:

  • Price-conscious & discreet? → Plastic models

  • Stylish & natural? → Wooden garages

  • Safe & smart? → Models with automatic gate

For maximum safety and optimal fit, we recommend manufacturer-specific robotic lawnmower garages that are precisely tailored to your model.
