How to Borrow Neighborhood Tool Shed / Tools

Please view the note for additional information.

Let us know what time works best for you to review your application and pick up your tool(s).

Note: If you are borrowing a larger tool, please make sure your vehicle has enough space to transport it. If not, one of our staff members can deliver it but it will be based on their availability.
