Simple Garage Organization Ideas
How To Clean and Organize Your Garage
– Always sort your garage items. Start with sorting and categorizing all the items in garage. It is a good idea to get your family to help you out. After emptying the garage, you will be able to see how much stuff you have and this will help you to determine how to organize your things in the garage. You can separate all the different kinds of tools from sporting equipment to electric tools into correct categories. You should also sort out things that should be put in the garage from the items that should be put in basement or attic.
Remember: it is a REALLY good habit to recycle everything that you decide to throw away. You can organize a garage sale for items you do not want, or you can donate them to the Red Cross.

– Sort out the seasonal items and equipment. For your lawn maintenance tools, you should install a special rack for them and keep them accessible as you use them often. Equipment for winter season like snow blowers, ice scrapers, snow shovels and also skis, snowboards and sleds should be stored together.
As for summer season items, you should store in another cabinet different from your winter items. Shelves and drawers should be installed to store other sporting equipment.
– Add more shelves and cabinets if required. While organizing the items in the garage, you should consider adding more garage storage space if it helps you to keep your garage tidy. Basically, you need to store those items which you use regularly so that they are easily accessible to you every time you require them. It is advisable to mount the shelves and cabinets on the walls to create more space in the garage.
– Create a working area. Some of us will like to have a small workshop in the garage. Having a bench or a table is good enough for your work area. Use a sturdy tool chest and a pegboard to store your tools. Keep them accessible at your work area.
– Place your trash and recycling bins near your garage. This is an excellent idea as you can easily throw away unwanted things that are chalking up the limited storage space in the garage.
When you first start to organize your garage, you will find it tough. Once it is over, you will love it because you can easily find your things in your garage. Start now. Invest in good storage units, cabinets and shelves and start organizing and sorting. You will not regret it.
Garage Organization Hacks
Feel like your garage is too small for all the STUFF you need to fit in it? Here’s a clever and useful garage organization hack that can instantly create more storage space in your garage.
For those homeowners in need of more storage but who don’t want the hassle of a major remodel, the perfect solution is the existing ceiling in your garage. Almost every homeowner has wasted space in the garage that is not being utilized, their garage ceiling. Garage overhead storage racks take advantage of this wasted space and can provide and abundance of storage space.
These racks are perfect to store seasonal items, holiday decorations, legal boxes, suitcases and bulky items that won’t fit in cabinets. Made of high-quality industrial steel, the racks are depth adjustable to maximize ceiling space and come in a variety of sizes and colors to meet your needs. The largest units measure 8′ x 4′ and can hold upwards of over 100 cubic feet storage and upto 600 lbs of weight.
The better racks are framed units with 12 points of attachment to the ceiling to prevent the units from falling or sagging in the middle. Most units are powder-coated to protect against rust and corrosion and have lifetime warranty. They even have wire-grid decks to help see your items from below. Some even have add-on accessories to hang items from underneath; e.g., a ladder, folding tables, bikes and skis. And make sure your overhead racks come with safety/cargo netting to wrap the racks and keep your precious items from falling out.
So the next time you need of more storage, just walk out into the garage, look up, and think ” I need overhead storage racks!”
