4 Garage Storage Solutions and Ideas

Garage Storage Solutions

Everyone fantasizes on having a very organized garage. It is not just about cleanliness which can easily be addressed by garage resin flooring since grease and other oils do not get stuck on it. It is more on how you will fit everything you need in that rather small space.

Here are some few things that you can do to have a better garage:

1.      Maximize your ceiling

You might sometimes see a chaos of cabinets and more cabinets while the ceiling is very plain and lone. You can maximize the use of your ceiling by attaching overhead storage racks. These racks should be sturdy enough and placed on the corners or where there are cabinets below.

These racks are intended to keep the light things in place such as plastic containers and other things which you do not use often. Heavy items are not to be placed on these racks since it could do some harm if they fall.

 

2.      “Do not be afraid to hang them”

Most of us might forget that we can use some hooks on the wall to hang items like brooms, mops, and even your bicycle! Yes, you can do that.

It is recommended that you hang those items which you will need often so you can just easily see and get them. This will help you to create more space for storage cabinets and the like.

 

3.      More cabinets!

Having more cabinets means having more space to keep your most important items. You can group your items according to their use or by the frequency of their use.

Cabinets are ideal because they have locks. This is good for protecting children from touching harmful objects. This will also spare you from those who intend to steal your tools. It is also important that you place them as close to the wall to save space.

4.      Write labels

This is one of the best garage storage solutions. Once you have your cabinets and other containers, it is very important that you don’t forget to put labels on them. This will help you find the things that you need faster and remember where to put them back quickly.

If you feel that putting some labels will make it easier for burglars to find the most expensive tools easily, you can just use initials and not the complete name of the items.

5 Benefits Garage Resin Floors Can Give

Your garage may be the most abused area around the house. It is where you do the things that you don’t normally do in the kitchen, like mending some chairs, or greasing your tools, which would normally make some scratches and stains in the working area. Garage floor tiles address these issues but there is something more you can do using resin.

The following are the benefits that we can get from using resin floors:

1.      Non-porous

Resin floors have a non-porous property which means that they cannot be penetrated by water and air. This is very useful since stains on ordinary floors become visible because it could sit on the material of the floor itself and would not be removed unless extensive brushing is being done.

Resin floors are very smooth and could contain any fluid substance, preventing it to reach the underlying floor.

2.      Easy to clean

With the use of a mop, you can just easily wipe out any unwanted substance on your floor. The floor is also evenly smooth which makes it easier to sweep out all the dust on it.

Since it has a non-porous property, you do not need to use very harsh cleaners just to remove stains.

3.      Abrasion resistant

You will not have problems when moving one big furniture or object from one position to another. Oftentimes, we are afraid that our flooring will be scratched, creating unsightly appearance.

Resin floorings are compact and have the ability to distribute the pressure they receive. So you can freely move your furniture or even big machines without worrying.

4.      Chemical Resistant

This characteristic of resin might sound similar to being non-porous. But this time, it does not just talk about ordinary fluids. Because of the hardener coating used over the resin, it becomes chemical resistant.

This kind of flooring resists harsh chemicals like petrol, solvents, alkalis, oils, and acids. This is the reason why this flooring is very ideal for your garage needs.
