Organized garage





The garage is that one place where we all seem to love to be

disorganized, however the sooner you get organized, the sooner

you can make better use of that space. Organizing your garage

can be a tiresome task for many homeowners. When you think

about organizing your garage you should keep in mind that this

activity means to find a designated place for everything while

keeping your goods available for everyday use. The following

five steps compromise a simple system for garage organization.



Sort your garage items.

First of all sort and categorize all the items in your garage, for

this you should empty your garage and start sorting everything

into categories. Separate the tools from sporting equipment,

electric tools, etc. You will realize how much stuff you have

and only then you will be able to determine the best ways to

organize and store everything. Misplaced items in your garage
should be returned to their proper place. Also you should sort

the things that should be in the garage from the things that

should actually be in the basement, attic or better, sold at a

garage sale. Remember to recycle everything that you decide to

throw away.



Separate seasonal items and equipment.

A special rack should be installed to hang lawn maintenance

tools and to keep them accessible yet out of the way. If it is

near winter place snow related tools like snow blowers, ice

scrapers, snow shovels and also skis, snowboards and sleds

grouped together. Also the items for warm seasons should be

stored in a special cabinet. Near the beginning of every season

you should plan this activity and rotate the cold and warm

items places in the cabinet. For the other sporting equipment,

shelves and drawers should be designed.



Additional shelving and cabinets.

While organizing you should consider adding additional

garage storage space to help you maintain the organization.

Shelves and cabinets should be mounted on the walls. The

basic principle is to store the items that you use on a regular

basis in a way that makes them accessible every time you need

them.



Create efficient working area.

Installing a bench or a table would be a good choice if you use

your garage as a workshop. A sturdy tool chest and a pegboard

are great in storing your tools and keeping them easily

accessible.



Relocate trash and recycling bins nearby the garage.

To easily dispose unwanted items from your garage a good

idea is to relocate the trash and r
stored in a special cabinet. Near the beginning of every season

you should plan this activity and rotate the cold and warm

items places in the cabinet. For the other sporting equipment,

shelves and drawers should be designed.

To easily dispose unwanted items from your garage a good

idea is to relocate the trash and recycling bins near to your

garage entrance. This way you won’t be tempted to keep

certain items because the trash bins are too far away.



Now would be the time to hire a handyman to have cabinets,

closets and shelves built right into your garage. Invest in some

good storage units as described before and start organizing,

sorting and storing.
