Need fast and simple solutions for your garage organization
problems? Here are seven tips to help you get that garage in
order and organized for good.
Hanging Racks
Getting racks that you can hang from the rafters of your
garage works great for a variety of items. This
garage
organization solution works especially well for bikes. It
keeps them from taking away valuable floor space while still
keeping them easily accessible.
Hooks
Hooks are a great solution for many garage items. Long
handled items that have a hole in the end work well to hang
on hooks. If you use tarps or any sort of cover for your car
or grill, hanging these things on hooks in the garage when
they are not in use works very well.
Pegboards
This is one of the best garage organization tips that there
is. Pegboards are the most flexible and inexpensive garage
organization tools that there is. You can easily change how
your garage is organized just by changing where you put your
pegboard holders.
When you do get it organized exactly the way you want, take
a picture of it and hang the picture up next to the holders.
Do this for every section of the garage that has pegboard
holders. It works best to do this for each section of the
pegboard rather than taking a picture of the entire thing.
Shelves
The best way to use shelves in your garage is for storing
containers and smaller items. Make sure that whatever
shelving you install will be able to handle the weight load
of what you are going to put on it.
Keep sharp and dangerous items off the floor
This is one of those garage organization tips that seems
obvious but which is not always easy to follow. Making sure
that things like rakes and hoes get put in their proper
place is important for safety. When these items end up on
the floor, you can have an unpleasant surprise if you are
not watching where you are walking. Always put back items in
their proper place that are potentially dangerous.
Secure hazardous items
This is another one of those garage organization tips that
has to do with safety, always an important topic when you
are dealing with garage storage. Anything that is toxic to
humans or animals should be kept in a secure area that small
children and pets cannot reach. Things like paint, weed
killers, bug sprays and gas all belong in this category. If
you have pets that go in the garage and they can climb, this
means putting these items in high cabinets that you can
close. If you have children, it is always a good idea to let
them know at a young age what is and is not dangerous in the
garage.
Wall Tool Holders
These work well for weed trimmers, shovels, rakes, garden
equipment and brooms. Having a wall tool holder not only
helps keep these items organized but it also means that they
stay off the floor.
