Top 10 Tips For An Organised Garage
2

• The garage tends to be a place where the car
  lives until the amount of gear you have
  accumulated gets to be too much for the available
  storage in your house. Eventually, you will (or
  your partner) will say enough is enough and so
  its time to think about using whatever space you
  can in the garage so its time to start looking
  for garage shelving

3

• First, decide about the car(s)
• The first decision is about the car(s), if youre
  lucky and live in the suburbs or have extra
  space, then as long as the weather is ok, you can
  leave the car or if you have a double garage and
  2 cars like many families. Maybe one car can live
  outside?

4

• Depending on your space
• Whichever way things work for you, youre going
  to need to make the best of the space you have so
  that means garage shelves, hooks and ropes. Yes
  and a ladder, extra lights, etc. The way you set
  it out depends largely on your decision on the
  car.

5

• Invest in some good quality shelving
• Some things are heavy, so are best on the lower
  shelves, medium on the middle and light up
  higher,put a lot of stuff on a garage shelf and
  the weight soon adds up, so go as heavy a duty
  shelving as you can afford.

6

• Keep everything reasonably Accessible
• Make stuff easy to find dont place things on top
  of each other, its better to have narrower
  shelves, spaced closer together. You shouldnt
  have to move stuff to locate anything. If you
  have a car in the garage, make sure you dont
  have to pull the car out to reach your most
  frequently used gear.

7

• Containers, bins and draws
• Use clear bins, strong plastic crates and draws
  for small stuff. Place all the associated gear in
  the same bin and putting a label on it, helps to
  keep everything tidy and easy to locate.

8

• Tools
• Place tools in draws, especially drill bits and
  small expensive items. Nuts, bolts, screws and
  nails are best in clear jars with airtight lids.

9

• Seasons use
• Place things so they are handy for the season
  when youll them. If you have to have the car
  inside make it so it is easy to rearrange the
  gear so seasonal stuff is available when needed.

10

• Workspace
• Create a usable work table for your grinder,
  vice, drill-press and other tools

11

• Use Your Vertical Space
•  
• Often there is lots of room in the ceiling area
  its a great place to hang large, bulky, light
  stuff such as fishing rods, nets, bikes, kayaks,
  wind surfers and surfboards with just a few hooks
  and ropes

12

• Keep it clean
• The garage can be your man-cave, a place where
  gear is kept on neat and tidy garage shelves as
  well as giving you a good space where you can do
  those jobs and store all the big boys toys out
  of the way but near when youre not using them.
