About Garage Storage

If your garage has become a cluttered catch-all for your family’s items, there is no need to worry. You can easily get it cleaned and organized in no time by using proper storage techniques. All you need are a few materials and a little elbow grease to get your garage looking neat and tidy once again.

• Consider using the vertical space in your garage to store items that are not used often such as holiday decorations or camping supplies. Simply insert sheets of plywood on top of the rafters in the ceiling of your garage to create vertical storage space that will allow you to clear a lot of valuable floor space in the garage.

• Tools and other small items can be stored on a pegboard within the garage. Before purchasing the pegboard, you should decide what will be stored on it so that you can choose the correct size. Tools and other items that will need to be accessed regularly are a great choice for storing on a pegboard while not in use.

• Bicycle hooks are a great way to store you and your family’s bicycles when not in use. These are commonly stored in the garage, and can take up a lot of floor space when not in use. These specially designed hooks will allow you to suspend your bikes from the ceiling when they are not being used.

• Place items that you want to keep, but do not need to access regularly into plastic storage bins of different sizes depending on the items that need to be stored. Storing your items in plastic containers will prevent them from becoming damaged due to the humidity that is often found in garages.

• Label all containers that you use to store your items so that you can easily find what you need in the garage. Place the labeled containers on a shelving unit neatly so that you can find what you need. Place the containers in a single row so that you can read all of the labels at one time without having to remove containers to see what is in the back.
