Garage Storage Plans
By Arturo Ronzon
The garage space was originally meant for the mundane but utilitarian purpose of providing a safe shelter for your car. However, nowadays the use of the garage is not limited to just providing a cark parking space. Not just the car but also the various tools and equipments needed for routine maintenance work around the house can be stored in this space. You can keep your gardening instruments, lawnmower, your kids' sports gear, and your golf accessories and basically all kinds of stuff that you fail to find a place for within your home. The garage can also be used as a workshop too, and you can carry out your construction projects in this place.
To effectively tap the storage potential of the garage you need to chalk out a storage plan for your garage space. Making a room for everything you want to dump in your garage, and yet keep the driveway free to easily take your car in and out of it, can be a daunting task. The best way to set about it is to pre-plan before starting the actual work and take one step at a time.
Shelves or cabinets can be mounted on the wall. Equipments used in sports, like tennis racquets, baseball bats and the like. Another low-cost alternative is to make the purchase of hard-wearing plastic totes and drawers. Lay up the items you use regularly in a way that enables you to reach them easily. A corner cabinet with circular shelves positioned strategically can present enough room for stacking smaller items.
The garage walls can be made into a storage area by installing hooks and peg board type paneling. Large sturdy hooks can be used to hang up bikes.
A well-built tool chest is an effectual means to store your tools and yet keep them handy. Clearly label the storage place of each tool to keep your garage organized for months to come.
Options for garage organization have been worked upon over the past few years and a lot of choices are available. One benefit of garage organization plans is that they constitute storage designed specifically for the garage taking into account all usable nook and cranny of the garage. If you want to stick to using simple bins and cabinets, you may not be able to make the best use of the available space.
Often we are apt to miss obvious spaces. Several websites offer online software to help design a garage organization plan to suit your needs. You can type in the dimensions of your garage and include items that you feel are necessary, and you will be provided with a garage organization plan that enables you to layout the framework for your garage storage. You can even apply for professional help, because organization and storage has turned into a thriving industry and garage organization is a growing sector.
