The right robot mower garage comes down to three things: it has to fit your mower and its charging station, let the mower dock and leave freely, and stand up to the weather. Here is how to choose one step by step.
1. Measure your mower and charging station
Measure the length, width and height of the mower, and do the same for the charging base – the dock sits inside the garage too, so it often decides the fit. Add a few centimetres of margin so the mower can move without scraping.
2. Check the entrance and the interior
A garage has two numbers that matter: the entrance opening the mower drives through, and the interior space it parks in. For the Plokk garage these are an entrance of 660 × 340 mm and a usable interior of 800 × 660 × 470 mm (L × W × H). As a rule of thumb, a mower up to about 790 mm long, 650 mm wide and 330 mm tall – including its charging base – will fit.
3. Open-ended vs closed designs
Open-ended garages (open at both ends, like the Plokk garage) let the mower drive straight in and out and keep the charging cable routed neatly at the back – the simplest setup for reliable autonomous docking. Closed or single-entry designs enclose the mower more fully but can complicate the docking path; check that your dock orientation works with them.
4. Material: wood vs plastic
- Wood – looks natural in the garden, is heavier and more stable in wind, and can be re-oiled rather than thrown away when it weathers.
- Plastic – cheaper and lighter, but can fade and crack in UV and may need weighing down in wind.
5. Weather protection and roof
Look for a sloped roof so rain runs off, and a wood that copes with UV and damp. Treating natural wood with an outdoor oil or stain once a year keeps it looking good and lasting longer.
6. Assembly and delivery
Most wooden garages ship flat-packed for affordable delivery. The Plokk garage arrives in a carton of roughly 80 × 40 × 18 cm, weighs about 9.8 kg, and assembles in a few minutes with the included hardware.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my mower will fit? Measure your mower and charging dock and compare them to the garage’s entrance (660 × 340 mm) and interior (800 × 660 × 470 mm). If both fit with a little margin, you are good.
Is wood or plastic better for a robot mower garage? Wood is sturdier, more weather-stable and repairable; plastic is cheaper and lighter. For a permanent garden fixture, most people prefer wood.
Do I need an open or closed garage? Open-ended is the easiest for autonomous docking and works with virtually any dock orientation.
