You can install shelves on your fence if you don't have any wall space. Just make sure not to overload anything and to first consult with your neighbor if the fence falls on their property. Simply because it looks good, no one wants a fence that falls down.
2. Use Pallets to Construct a Bike Rack
Supplies needed: drill, screws, and an old wooden pallet
Making It: $5–$10*
Freestanding bikes in the yard might be a logistical issue if you don't have a garage or shed. They topple over, obstruct, and appear messy in general. But you don't have to shell out a ton of cash for a customized bike rack. Take up a few used pallets instead.

You may create a bike rack that is equally as good as the previous one by assembling it. There will be some drilling and cutting involved, but if it ends up saving you money, it will be well worth the time. Additionally, you can paint the pallet to create yard décor.

Though it's easier said than done, when spring and summer arrive, it will have a significant impact. Try your best to keep your dogs off the lawn throughout the winter, especially if it's going to be wet. Dogs' paws and running around completely destroy lawns.
