The garage is one of the most neglected and forgotten areas in any home. They are usually cluttered with a plethora of things most of which you don’t even need. Your carports and garage area must be clutter free to ensure that your vehicle is parked safely without worrying if something could fall on it. Here are a few handy tips that will help you organise your garage and making more space for better storage.
Introduce a Wall Storage
The good thing about organising your garage is that you won’t need to spend a fortune on getting some storage space on the wall. All you need are two broad boards and make a simple tool rack to store your gardening tools and other accessories. You can add hinges to the boards for more storage space. Other wall-mounted options for more garage space is to add a foldable workbench, this way you can use the walls the store items and use it as a working bench for different DIY projects.
Dividing your Garage into Different Zones
One of the best ways to organize your garage is to divide it into different zones. This method is particularly handy for those who have a large garage but a single vehicle. Allocate each zone to storing various items. From old things to gardening tools and toolboxes. Label and mark each zone so that you won’t need to recall where you stored your accessories.
Build Cabinets
Cabinets are a great way to add more space to your garage. Instead of storing items in boxes spread across the floor, you can make a small investment and buy cabinets. With a formal garage cabinet, it will be easier for you to store and retrieve your items. Another benefit of cabinets over boxes is that the former offer added protection from moisture, insects and dust, which keeps the items safe, and secure for a long time.
Overhead Storage Boxes
If you run out of wall space in your garage, there is another cost-effective way of organising the garage space. All you need to do is buy ceiling mounted cabinets or boxes for more storage options. You can use these ceiling boxes to store seasonal items allowing you to have a clutter-free tidy garage. However, you must be cautious about installing the racks safely. Make sure you use heavy-duty screws and bolts to secure the overhead cabinets.
Invest in Adjustable Shelving
One of the biggest benefits of adjustable shelving is that you will be able to store your seasonal items in your garage. For example, you can stow away Easter or Christmas decoration and old clothes when you don’t need them. Adjustable shelves give you the freedom to move the boxes as you need. Wall-mounted adjustable shelves with wooden strips will help you save up some more garage space for other things like power tools and fishing rods.
