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:
-
Manufacturer-specific models
A perfect fit for specific robotic lawnmower models, with optimal protection and easy integration. -
Universal garages
Cheaper, but often with a less perfect fit. -
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.
