Finding a garden utility sink among all of the sinks that are designed for laundry rooms can be a challenge. It’s hard to find utility sinks that can withstand the abuse of cleaning tools, but be affordable enough that you have no problem putting it in your shed or garage. This post will offer up some ideas for figuring out which one is right for you and your home.
The key to a garden utility sink is durability. It has to be able to stand up to heavy duty cleaning, yet be extremely low maintenance. No one wants to spend their weekends cleaning out their garden sink! For this reason, stainless steel and hardened plastic are the popular choices for this type of utility sink.
The word “affordable” is a relative term, and what’s affordable to you is probably way out of my league, so we’ll speak in generalities here. Stainless steel utility sinks cost way more than the plastic type. There really isn’t much longevity or strength difference between the two, just appearance. If you want to save as much money as possible on garden utility sinks, plastic is the way to go. Freestanding sinks cost more than wall mounted sinks, but require less work (money) to set up. All you need to get a free standing sink up and running is to hook up the water and the drain and you’re ready to go. Wall mounted ones need to be hung, which can be a pain with limited space in your shed or garage.
So to save the most money, while still getting quality, get a plastic free standing utility sink.
The choices are certainly limited, but once you know what you need the choice is obvious. Figure out what your budget and space are like, and the perfect garden utility sink will be evident.
