A bespoke garden cupboard doesn’t start with a catalogue, but with your patio. This project in Freinsheim shows what can be achieved: a spacious patio cupboard, custom-designed to fulfil two purposes at once – storing pool accessories and patio equipment. Landing nets, pool maintenance products, cushions, glasses and garden tools all find their place behind a seamless, understated front, exactly where they’re needed.
Off-the-shelf furniture forces the terrace to compromise – the bespoke garden cupboard turns the relationship on its head. The width, depth and height were planned here to fit the available space exactly, whilst the internal layout was tailored to actual use: compartments for bulky pool accessories, shelves for small items, space for cushions. The joint pattern structures the body, gives the large surface a textured look and breaks up the cabinet – a detail that transforms a piece of storage furniture into a design feature.
The cabinet is made from HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) by Trespa. The investment pays off twice over: the surface is permanently lightfast and requires no maintenance apart from occasional cleaning – no painting, no oiling, no after-treatment. At the same time, the material retains its shape: even after years of use, the doors and joints fit as precisely as they did on the first day. UV radiation, rain and frost cannot damage the surface; it is estimated to have a lifespan of around 50 years.
“We spent a long time looking for a modern cupboard for our patio,” writes customer B. S., “After some back-and-forth, the made-to-measure patio cupboard was created, just as pictured, and it suits us perfectly. Behind this not-insignificant investment lies superb craftsmanship and modern design. We’re happy to recommend it with complete confidence.” It is precisely this “suits us perfectly” that lies at the heart of every bespoke piece: the individual design harmonises with the owners’ interior style, rather than standing out of place.
Our garden cupboard can be crafted in any shape your patio requires – as a tall cupboard, a sideboard or a space-defining combination, freestanding or fitted into a recess. Our reference project featuring a 3-metre-long outdoor sideboard demonstrates just how spacious a bespoke piece of furniture can be. When it comes to colour, you can choose from over 250 HPL colours and finishes – we’ll send colour samples to your home in advance, free of charge.
Every made-to-measure garden cabinet is designed by us and manufactured in Germany – with delivery across Europe and on-site assembly available on request. Over 2,000 completed projects and a 5-star rating from more than 220 Google reviews show that this attention to detail pays off.

Customer review:
"We’d been looking for a modern cupboard for our patio for ages, and I stumbled across the design@garten website by chance. After discussing it with Mr Hart, the bespoke patio cupboard was created, just as pictured, and it suits ‘us’ perfectly. Behind this rather substantial investment in a ‘patio cupboard’ lies superb craftsmanship and modern design. Many thanks, Mr Hart – we’re happy to recommend you to others with complete confidence ;-)." B. S.![]()
