Most houses have them ... a little dumping ground where all of the 'too-hard' items go. The metal garage is so often the place where things that need to be fixed, are being stored for another day, or are just too mixed up to be used end up going. It does take some time - but when you invest the time and effort in both tidying up, and setting yourself up so that it doesn’t get into that state again, there can be a palpable sense of relief in the house. Here we look at some useful ways you can set up your home garage kit so that it remains clean, well-organized ... so that the impossible can occur!
- Get some help from Peggy Sue
If you don't want (or need) to invest in toolboxes, pegboard is a wonderful way to ensure that things within your garage are accessible and organized. It'll also help your projects run more smoothly, and may even inspire you to start some new ones! - Liven up dead space
If your home garage kit walls have exposed studs, you can get shelving to help utilize that dead space. You can either preserve your garage's interior space by building very narrow shelving that just fits within the bounds of the studs, or create shelves that can be used for a variety of different purposes and build past the studs. - Know when to fold 'em
If you will be keeping your car in the garage for much of the time and have limited space, build a folding table to use as a temporary workbench instead of cramping your style with a larger and more permanent one. The folding bench can even be hung on the pegboard when you aren't using it! - Keep it together
This is more of a technique than a 'thing' to use to help keep your garage well-organised. However, if you keep like with like, it is easier to pack up, easier to remember where things go, and easier to maintain all that work you did cleaning out your junk at the beginning of your garage journey!
