Tips for Organizing Your Garage

Garage Organization 101
Until recently, the one time my garage looked organized was
before I moved into my home. Since then, boxes, tools and
stuff I didn't know what to do with clutters my garage badly.
Finally, I decided to organize my garage, so I could
actually find something in all the stuff collected over the
years. Here are the10 garage organizing tips that I
discovered, from reusing old kitchen cabinets to building my
own hanging adjustable garage shelves.
#1. Organize Your Garage with Steel Shelving
Affordable steel shelving can be assembled into a tiered
storage unit for organizing your garage floor space. Attach
as many shelves as can fit in the height of your garage.
Place the garage steel shelving in corners and against the
wall in narrow spaces. This will allow you to organize
things in places that would otherwise be wasted. And because
the spaces are narrow, nothing else will fit in them or
block your access to your garage organizing shelves.
#2. Organize Your Garage with an Outline Tool Rack
You can build a simple outline tool rack to hang your
favorite tools and organize your garage. Start by choosing
the tools you wish to hang in an easy to find way, for
example: hammer, sew, garden sheers. On a square of plywood
rest all the objects, organized in the order of your choice.
Next, using a pen, outline the tools, then remove them and
paint the outline. Return the tools to the outlines and
hammer in nails by which to hang them. Complete this garage
organization tip by nailing the tool rack to the wall.
#3. Organize Your Garage with Shelf Trucks
A shelf truck is the fancy name given to wire shelving with
caster wheels. This simple garage organization idea allows
you to store several shelf trucks in a row, like parked
cars. When you need to reach the items on the shelves, just
pull out the shelf truck you need. In this way you can
organize your garage in very little space.
#4. Organize Your Garage with Hanging Racks
Metal arms that attach to your garage walls can be used to
hang large objects like skis, bicycles or skateboards. Hang
the racks as close to the ceiling as possible to keep the
hanging objects well out of the way. Then place a folded
step ladder nearby for easy access.
#5. Organize Your Garage with Wire or Metal
Containers
Large wire baskets with caster wheels are idea for garage
organization of areas under tables or hanging shelves. Store
rags, large tools or camping gear in different sized wire
baskets. Tuck the baskets under a work table, hanging
cabinets or adjustable hanging shelves, then pulled the
baskets out as needed. |
