DIY Kit Robotic Lawn Mower Garage Variable Size

This design is a modular garage system for robotic lawnmowers, originally designed for my Navimow i105
and has been in use for over a year.

Since I created this design for myself, neither print time nor material usage was a concern. It's meant to last :)
 

The principle is deliberately kept simple: Printed corner elements are combined with wooden profiles, allowing for the construction of a simple and individually customizable house. Length and width can be freely chosen, making the house suitable for almost all robotic lawnmowers.

The construction is based on printed corner brackets with integrated profiles. Into these, 19 mm thick wooden profiles (ideally inexpensive tongue and groove boards) are inserted and screwed. This creates a wall structure that can be implemented with simple means.

The roof, which consists of a simple wooden board, can either be loosely laid on top or screwed down. Included brackets allow for a slight slope for water drainage.

Important notes:

• Overall height of the profiles: approx 39 cm
• Recommended overall height of the wooden profiles: approx 36 cm
• Designed for 19 mm material thickness
• The system is not dimensionally stable without additional bracing (see photos)

For stabilization, the following are included:

• 45° brackets for direct bracing
• 90° brackets for 28×45 mm structural timber

For different dimensions, commercially available metal brackets can be used as an alternative.

The rain drip edge on the front is rather optional and an optical gimmick.
 

I designed my little house to match the colors of our robotic lawnmower. This makes it a real eye-catcher in the garden and often gets comments from visitors. For weather protection, the roof was covered with roofing felt and fitted with metal brackets at the edges. The roof is now so heavy that it simply rests in place and does not need to be screwed down. This greatly simplifies access to the mower :)

I simply connected the respective profile parts (top and bottom) with plastic glue. The real stability comes later by screwing them to the wooden profiles.


Dimensions of my garage:
Underframe made of wall profiles: 68.5cm x 89cm
Roof plate: 75.5cm x 100cm

The following parts were used:
1x Profile 90° front left (top + bottom)
1x Profile 90° front right (top + bottom)
2x Profile 90° (top + bottom)
2x Bracing 45°
4x Bracing 90°
2x Roof stop
1x Roof Sloping Profile 1
1x Roof Sloping Profile 2
5x Drip edge (20cm each)
2x Solid structural timber 28x45mm (approx 60cm)
4x Rough spruce boards 600x96x19mm
8x Rough spruce boards 800x96x19mm

Since the project is completed, there will be no additions or adjustments.
