7 Top Storage Essentials That Will Help
 Keeping
a garage organized can be a real challenge. It is so easy to use it
as our home warehouse and it becomes a dumping ground for house
clutter, a place where we can close the door and forget about the
pile of boxes that need to be sorted ‘one day’.
If your car hasn’t seen
the inside of your garage for sometime due to lack of space, here
are 7 top ideas to help you keep your garage organized:
1. Shelves
Either shelves on the wall or free standing heavy-duty shelving is
the first must-have. Sturdy shelving can house all sorts of items
from boxed storage to tools and sports equipment, keeping everything
tidy and in one place.
2. Overhead storage
A great solution, especially if you don’t have so much floor space
and still need to store some items. Overhead storage is a great way
to house items that aren’t used very often. There are even hanging
shelf units that can attach to the rafters of your garage which
means you don’t have to worry about fixing permanent storage.
3. Wall Storage
Pegboard, slotboard or slatwall are also great options and with
hooks and baskets attached, they can store a variety of items in all
shapes and sizes. Brackets can be added to place shelves as
needed. They can be completely customized to hold tools - both for
the garden and the garage, parts, cleaning supplies, and much more.
4. Tool hangers
There are a variety of hanging systems to suit all garages. You can
choose from roller versions to standard hooks to keep all of your
tools neatly in place. Not only does this storage make everything
neater, it also makes storing your tools much safer.
5. Store-Pod
Store-pods are a great addition to your garage storage system. They
are waterproof, heavy-duty plastic storage units that are attached
to the beams and look like a large plastic bag with shelves inside.
The front is a clear plastic door that zips closed. They have
ventilation slots that help reduce dust and mildew, while still
keeping pests out.
6. Sports storage
If you are a sporty family, the garage can be the perfect place to
store your items. There are specially designed holders that you can
get for sports storage that can be mounted on the wall or ceiling.
7. Cabinets
Cabinets are a great option if you need a surface to work on in your
garage that also have storage that you can shut the doors on to hide
your clutter. You also have a work area for projects that are too
messy or noisy for the house. Many of the cabinets also come with
locks - not only to protect your tools, but also to keep small
children safe.
