For many homeowners the garage becomes a dumping ground. So much so that often there is no room for the car.

Action is called for to get your garage into some sort of order. You need to eliminate clutter-buildup that has overtaken your garage.

Take on the motto ‘if in doubt, throw it out’.
Have a garage sale, give to charity, take a trip to the real landfill.

The very basic premise in garage organizing is to free up floor space. However, how do you deal with the inevitable lawn mower, snow blower, wheelbarrow, bicycles, and other large items? There is so much to deal with!
One solution might be to build an enclosed lean-to shed on the side of the garage. Use dimensions of 4' x 8'. This addition will free up valuable floor space in the garage in a heartbeat!

Another option might be the storage shed in the backyard. Many subdivisions are regulated by covenants and restrictions. You may be required to obtain architectural committee approval before an addition can be constructed. This is well worth looking into!

When you can see it, you can find it. One of the simplest methods is to create a wall storage solution.
There are many solutions such as hooks, racks, custom-made cabinets, and yes, the lowly nail is a solution, but none offer a flexible solution.

Down with Pegboard. Up with Displawallä! Pay a visit to a retail store that displays merchandise on the wall, and these same grooved panels provide the most flexible storage solution for the garage that is available today.

Displawallä is manufactured in 4' x 8' panels. Made with a durable finish, this product requires no painting or maintenance. Drill drywall screws into the grooves of the panels into the studwall in the garage and then fit. Hooks fit in the grooves nicely, making placement a snap. Also, the hooks are made in varying lengths from one inch to 12 inches, so a variety of objects can be placed anywhere there is a wall. The look, flexibility and durability are all superior benefits from Displawallä.

You will appreciate having the flexibility of lifting a hook from the grooved panel. This item enables one to change or add items stored on the wall for maximum vertical storage.

When a folding chair or lawn implement can be seen, it is indeed easy to find. Once the Displawallä is attached to the garage wall, there are no holes to drill or nails to hammer simply arrange or rearrange the hooks, as you need.

Rubbermaid cabinets cabinets are both affordable and durable. There is nothing to paint and nothing to maintain. They are great! All that you require is a rubber mallet to hammer the interlocking pieces together. Next, screw the cabinets to the wall. Load capacity is around 35 pounds according to the manufacturer. Cabinets permit one to categorize items to be stored and used routinely. Place lawn and garden items such as smaller tools, plant food, and pots in a designated cabinet. Then place automotive products such as motor oil, antifreeze, and other lubricants in another designated cabinet.

To best organize your garage, plan to simplify, and simplify the plan. This takes time and effort. Once storage requirements have been identified, one can create the required shelving, cabinet, and wall-storage system to best suit your needs.

The concepts outlined above are very basic and you will personalize as it best meets with your particular requirements. It is a good start to being better organized and you can work through the glitches as they happen. Either way, you are far better ahead of the game if you decide today to become better organized. All it takes is good ingenuity and good planning. You will reap the rewards each day!
