Great Ideas for Garage Storage

If your garage is in need of some organization, consider some of these storage ideas, specifically intended for the garage:

An Overhead Storage Rack: These racks come in many styles and sizes and are ideal for maximizing unused space to store off-season items that are used infrequently.

Metal Pegboard: Metal pegboards are several times stronger than conventional pegboards and can be customized with pegs, hooks and brackets to fit whatever organizational needs you have.

Utility Shelving: Utility shelving can be made in any configuration to fit a variety of spaces, sizes and needs. You can include shelves, baskets, drawers, hooks, etc. to create the ideal shelving for your situation.

Commercial Bins: A commercially designed bin rack can organize tools and much more.

Bike Hoist: A bike hoist can raise and store your bike with a simple pulley system to free up floor space and take advantage of underutilized vertical storage space. Bike hoists don’t have to be used exclusively for bikes, you can also use them for your kayak, ladders, or other bulky items as well.

Three Garage Update Ideas

If you have a garage that is tired and in desperate need of an update. Try one of these ideas:

1. Cover the floor. Paint an epoxy garage floor covering over dirty, old concrete floors.

2. More Storage. Add an overhead storage system to add a lot of usefulness to space that would otherwise remain empty.

3. Keep things handy. Utilize pegboard for covering at least one full wall so that well-loved tools and equipment can be easily reached and well organized.

Garage Organization Tips

Tired of barely having enough room in your garage for your car? Check out some of these tips for organizing. With a little organization, you might find yourself hanging out in your garage, “just for fun!”

Two Words: Adjustable Shelving
Hang several layers of shelving around the perimeter of your garage and stow away off season equipment, boots, buckets, etc. By getting as possible off the ground and onto shelves, you eliminate clutter and gain a more organized space.

Peg Boards
Hang a few pegboards and use a variety of hooks instead of just one type and you’ll open up all kinds of storage opportunities! Pegboards are great for hanging most tools and a whole lot more.

Garbage Cans
If you store large quantities of dog food, salt, sand, birdseed or other items that come in heavy bags, dump them in a garbage can (or put the whole bag inside), put the lid on, and label it. Your storage will look much neater than if you have open, half-used bags lying around. Throw a scoop inside and everything you need will be at your fingertips when you need it!

Canisters
Small kitchen-type canisters are useful for storing nuts, bolts, screws, nails, and more. You can even get magnetic canisters and secure a magnetic strip to the wall for out of the way storage.
