Organizing Your Garage

Edit Your Stuff
Chances are you haven’t when through all of your belongings in your garage in a while. Now is the time to go through everything and make a donation pile, a keep pile, and a trash pile. We recommend planning a full day to open up all of your bins and go through your stuff. This will be a great starting point for the tips to come!
Group Similar Items
Grouping similar items together will ensure everything has its own place and you can easily find it when needed. Do you have kids? Have a spot of your garage for the toys and sporting equipment. Are you a plant lover? Set up a gardening station so your green thumb can excel.
Up, Up, Up
Make the most use of the entire height of the wall with vertical bin storage. Make sure to put your most used items towards the bottom for easy access. Don’t forget to label each bin with what’s inside. You can also hang your bikes from the roof to save valuable floor space.
Pegboard Storage Wall
A DIY pegboard is one of the easiest ways to get your garage organized! This is a great solution to hang tools and lawn equipment making it easy to see what you have. This will help you grab what you need and get to work on your next project!
Air Out Gear
The garage is typically the center HQ for all things sporting gear. Make use of your garage’s natural ventilation system and give your equipment a change to breath and air out. Install hooks to hang helmets, jerseys, gloves and anything else that gets smelly.
