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.
