WilTec 52105 Robotic Lawn Mower Garage (Grey, 80x70x38cm)

What size robot mowers will fit inside this garage?

The internal space is 80cm wide, 70cm deep and 38cm tall. This is large enough to house nearly all standard domestic robot lawn mowers along with their charging stations. That said, it's worth measuring your specific mower model before purchasing particularly the height as some larger or commercial-grade models may be taller than 38cm. The majority of popular consumer robot mowers from brands such as Husqvarna, Gardena and Bosch fall well within these dimensions.

Does the garage include the charging station or is it just the shelter?

This product is the shelter only. It does not include a robot lawn mower or a charging station. It is designed to house your existing mower and its docking station, protecting them from the weather. You position your charging station inside the garage as normal and the mower returns to it as it would without the shelter in place.

Is this garage weatherproof? Will it hold up outdoors year-round?

The fir wood construction provides protection against rain, snow and hail via the fixed flat roof. However, fir wood used outdoors will naturally weather over time. Some customer reviews have noted that the wood quality is relatively basic for an outdoor product. Applying an exterior wood treatment or sealant after assembly would extend its lifespan considerably. It is not described as pressure-treated or pre-treated, so this is worth factoring in before purchase.

How difficult is assembly? Do I need tools?

The garage is designed to be assembled without nails or permanent fixings and a small instruction manual is included. Some customers have found assembly straightforward and completed it in under 30 minutes. However, a small number of UK reviewers have reported that pieces did not fit together easily or that some components appeared to be incorrectly sized. It is advisable to lay all parts out and check them against the instructions before starting assembly.

Can I move the garage once it's assembled?

Yes. Because no nails or permanent fixings are used in the construction, the garage can be disassembled and relocated at any time. This is useful if you rearrange your garden layout or if you want to reposition the mower's charging station. The unit weighs 6.48kg fully assembled, so it is light enough to be moved by one person once broken down into its component parts.

What is the flat roof surface designed for? Can I put weight on it?

The flat roof features small recesses to help drain rainwater away. It is also designed to support light decorative items such as small potted plants or garden ornaments. The key word here is light the 2cm fir wood construction is not rated for heavy loads. Avoid placing anything substantial on the roof as this could put stress on the structure and affect its integrity over time.

Why does the garage have side openings? Won't rain get in?

The side openings are a deliberate ventilation feature. In summer, heat can build up inside an enclosed shelter and affect the mower's electronics and battery. The openings allow air to circulate and prevent this. The fixed roof above provides the primary rain protection and the side openings are positioned so that direct rainfall is largely deflected. The fir wood material also helps, as it heats up significantly less than plastic or metal would in direct sunlight.

What colour is the garage and will it look out of place in my garden?

The garage is finished in grey and is described as having a rustic, modern style. The flat roof design is relatively understated and the grey colouring is neutral enough to sit alongside most garden fencing, decking or planting. The flat roof surface can also have small plants placed on top, which helps it blend into a planted garden setting. At 80x70x38cm it has a low profile and won't dominate a garden border.
