The garage can easily become a catch-all spot for storing your items, then before you know it, it’s over-cluttered and you can’t even fit your car in there anymore! When you’re ready to update your garage organization and storage, you can always count on the team at La Pine Ace Hardware to provide you with everything you need. Continue reading to find some of our favorite garage storage tips and stop by to get all the tools you need.
DIY Wall Shelves
One of the most helpful things you can add to your garage is wall shelves or metal shelving units. Your garage likely has a little bit of free space along the walls, and adding shelving will allow you to take advantage of that space. By adding shelves, you won’t have to keep items stacked and piled and you’ll be able to utilize the full height of your garage to store more items.
Organize Items Into Zones
If you’re constantly wondering where you put something, then it’s definitely time for you to organize your garage into zones. Whether you have added shelves or you have cabinets or a workbench, it’s always important to keep everything in the right place. By organizing your items into zones, you’ll always know where to find the tools, toys, or other items you’re looking for.
Organize By Usage
When you’re organizing your shelves and your zones, you should make sure that the items you use most often are in spots that are easy to reach. You can place everyday items lower and seasonal items higher. You don’t want to put something you constantly use on a higher shelf, making it harder for you to reach day in and day out.
Hang Large Items
Some of your larger items like yard tools, bikes, and other supplies are likely too large to fit on your shelving and can take up precious floor space. You can install hangers on the ceiling of your garage to allow you to keep these large items accessible but out of the way.
Hopefully, with these tips, you’ll be able to better organize your garage and even get your car back in where it belongs! When you need shelving, organizers, hooks, or any other items to make this transition easy, stop by La Pine Ace Hardware! Our friendly team members are always ready to help.
