Garage Storage Solutions
Every garage owner has unique storage needs. Managing the lifetime of storage that accumulates in the typical garage space over the years, however, is a task we all invariably confront.
It’s garage makeover time
Indeed, you're just now facing down the monumental chore of cleaning out the garage. For that reason, we at TheHomeMag have assembled this list of the five best garage storage solutions guaranteed to reduce excess clutter in your garage and keep it that way. When these systems are properly installed and deployed, you’ll never have to reorganize your garage again.
A pegboard organizer and utility workstation
It’s finally time to ditch that greasy, fire engine red toolbox from the early 80s in favor of a quality utility pegboard organizer and workstation. No well-organized garage is complete without one. The days of just tossing random tools in your dad’s old metal tool chest are gone.
The type of pegboard and tool storage system you'll need depends on the tools you own. Ensure that whichever organizer you select, the system is easy to mount, fully adjustable, and constructed from high-quality steel.
A wall-mounted rail system
A basic wall-mounted rail system for your garage is crucial. It’s one of the most efficient and affordable solutions you can buy. A sturdy wall-mounted rail system allows you to leverage the vertical storage space in your garage completely.
Imagine resting a garden shovel in a dusty corner of your garage or throwing an extension cord on the floor behind the snowblower. What does that do to your organized garage space? With a wall-mounted rail system, you can safely affix these supplies to the wall for convenient access.
The rolling cabinet
When it’s time to really dial your garage in, you can’t go wrong with a classic steel rolling cabinet. A good-sized cabinet hovers around a 600-pound weight capacity.
Ideally, you should find a rolling cabinet with adjustable shelves and braking castors. When ordering online, be sure to verify the unit is correctly packed. You do not want it to arrive scratched or dented.
Floating wall shelves
In addition to a sturdy rail system and a tall rolling cabinet, you’re going to need at least a pair of floating shelves. They’re ideal for storing miscellaneous items like golf bags and spare gardening tools.
The floating shelf should be durable enough to support considerable weight and easy to set up. To be completely safe, consider professional installation like from SafeRacks.
The wall-mounted bike rack
No list like this would be complete without the wall-mounted bicycle rack. Bikes take up a huge amount of space when stored on the floor.
With these racks, you have dozens of options. Most bike owners prefer the swivel design for easy access.
The wrap-up
There you have it, our top five garage storage solutions. You’ll notice a theme here. When organizing your garage, always think vertical storage space. It’s by far the best strategy for decluttering any garage.
