Organizing Your Garage
Organizing Your Garage
How is your garage looking? Could you find that hammer or wrench immediately when you need it? Could any of us, really? Garage organization may seem like a dream, but it’s far from it!
What does your ideal garage space look like? Like garages in many Connecticut homes, it probably has ample space for all of your projects and tools with shelves and space for organization. Maybe there is a table or workbench or two somewhere in there. Like any other part of your home your garage is more functional and simply better to look at when it is organized. Never waste time digging through a toolbox again!
Now your garage doesn’t have to look like our treasured Great Wall of Hardware, but you can make it just as tidy with a few additions.
Shelving
The first step to an organized space is to utilize all you have
around you, starting with the walls. A great addition to any garage is some
shelving for you to store some of your belongings and tools. Be sure to install
shelves that are sturdy because unlike other parts of the house, things that
get stored in garages tend to be heavier. A great piece or hardware to use is
the Hillman Super Strength Shelf Bracket.
Tool Holders
Sometimes shelves aren’t the right choice for holding a bunch of
tools. Luckily there are plenty of easy and organized ways to keep your tools
together and easy to find. A great piece of hardware for this purpose is the Hillman Workshop Peg Hook Kit.
This kit includes 16 hooks that fit 1/4” peg board.
You can also choose the Hillman Zinc Plated Hook and Eye Multi Tool Holder for items with handles like paint brushes, screwdrivers and more.
Hanging Storage
Don’t forget about hanging storage! You need a place to keep all of your work clothes and other things that can hang. For this you need a Smartrack Adjustable Storage Organizer Hanger. You can also use this rack for hanging awkward shaped things with handles that would otherwise be difficult to store.
