How Lend Shed works
Whether you're borrowing for the weekend or earning from gear in your shed, here's exactly what happens, in the order it happens.
Renting gear in four steps
1. Find what you need
Browse by category, search, filter by distance, dates and price.
2. Send a booking request
Pick dates, confirm the bond, send. Card is authorised, not charged, until the owner accepts.
3. Collect with a QR scan
Both sides scan, snap condition photos, and you're away.
4. Use it, return it
One more scan and a return photo. Bond authorisation drops off in a few days.
Listing gear in four steps
1. List in three minutes
Photos, short description, hourly and daily price, fair bond.
2. Approve bookings on your terms
Review the renter, message them, accept or decline.
3. Hand it over with confidence
QR scan and photo proof on collection and return.
4. Get paid automatically
Payouts to your bank via Stripe within a few business days.
Pricing & fees
Renters pay no separate platform fee — the listing price is the price you pay (plus any delivery and a refundable bond). Owners receive 80% of each rental; Lend Shed retains a 20% platform fee. The bond is refundable, set by the owner, and only charged if there is documented damage, loss or late return.
