Do it yourself garage organizing

Garage is not only a parking area we use to park the cars and bikes, it can serve as storage, a construction area if you like to build things, and a place we basically put unnecessary and not useful things in. The more we place things in the garage the more it clutters, and as soon it gets crowded, it gets messy and disorganized. Our things are just everywhere until we trip on the m and misplace things when we need them, such as dad’s tools. Worst comes to worst, until your car ends up parking at driveway and not in the garage anymore.  The garage then is taken for granted because it looks complicated to clean and you just do not know where to start and how you would accumulate everything that is in there.

Garage organizing is not as complicated as you think if you have the right materials and a plan on how you want to organize the place. Before you start, remove your car and bikes out of the garage. Look at the garage and choose an area where you want to start. Sort out things in each area, by separating the items still being used from the ones that are not, including the broken ones. Sort things by grouping the items that goes together, such as tools used for fixing and repair, auto repair tools and materials for autos, sports gears, suitcase, and others.

Purchase several plastic bins, the larger they are they better. Purchase different colored bin to easily categorized things. Purchase bins that have locks on them to valuable and dangerous items like power tools and chemicals or substances you use for cleaning and fixing things. Make room against the wall to hang brooms, rakes, chairs, and other items that could be hung. Bikes do not need to parked; you can also hang those using hooks.

Build and create storage shelves or shelves with cubby holes against the wall. Filling up one whole wall with storage shelves will help store things more organize. If you do not have enough room in the garage, you can build floating shelves on the wall and just use plastic bins and stacks them neatly against the wall. Build cabinets with locks to place any chemicals or substances you may need for cleaning.

If you have storage in the backyard, remove all the gardening tools like gas leaf blower backpack , lawn mowers, out of the garage so it will be easier for you to find your gardening tools when need. Instead of placing hooks against the walls to hang things, you can use pegboards, to easily hang things without having to install hooks.
Check your local home improvement stores and look for or ask for materials you can use to organize the garage. Garage organizing could be fun and a good place to start cleaning. Maintaining a neat garage leads to less accidents and a safer place for you and your kids. Organizing the garage is a start to a well kept home.
