Utilize Wall Space

Making sure items are kept off the floor and put back in the proper location is an important factor in keeping your garage organized. It eliminates tripping hazards as well as the urge to keep stacking or piling up equipment that should be placed away. To eliminate this, utilize the wall space to maximize your storage potential.

The components include utility hooks and magnetic bars for tools, wide hooks for sports equipment like tennis rackets, bike brackets and tool hooks for shovels and brooms. Baskets and tote bags are great for balls and toys.

Cabinet Storage

Cabinets are custom-sized and available in a variety of finishes and styles. They are a safe and concealed place to store items and provide a level of protection from moisture, insects and even curious pets and children. Harmful chemicals can be safely stored and locked. Vertical cabinets are a great storage solution for taller items like golf clubs and keeps them accessible, protected, and off the floor. Cabinets can be made deeper to hold bulky items like outdoor furniture cushions. Sliding door cabinets are especially nice and allow you to get what you need even if the car is in the garage.

Workspace with Tool Storage

Having a place for all types of tools so you know where they are and where to put them back, keeps them from getting lost. One option is an omintrack system which organizes tools on specialized hooks. Tools should be organized and close to your workstation so when you are working on a project, your progress isn’t interrupted by stopping to search for what you need.

Now that your tools are organized, you need a place to work on projects. One option for a work surface is a butcher block countertop.
