Have a yard project coming up but don’t have the right tools? The NB Tool Shed is a free resource for residents living within the New Braunfels city limits. You can borrow lawnmowers, weed trimmers, blowers, hedge trimmers, pressure washers, and other equipment for personal use.
Tools must be reserved online and are available for pickup by appointment on Fridays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. They must be returned on Monday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pickup and return are at the Westside Branch Library, and proof of residency is required.
One important detail: having a New Braunfels mailing address doesn’t necessarily mean you live inside the city limits. Residents in the ETJ or other unincorporated areas aren’t eligible. If you’re unsure, check the city’s General Reference Map, linked on the Tool Shed webpage.
Visit the City of New Braunfels NB Tool Shed website to check eligibility, review borrowing requirements, and reserve your tools.
