Space-Saving Overhead DIY Garage Storage
If floor space in your garage is at a premium, overhead storage may be just the ticket! Ceiling-mounted shelves are a great way to get lightweight or infrequently used items off the floor and overhead. While this storage system may seem a little intimidating for the average homeowner to DIY, Hometalkers have great instructions for putting one of these systems in your garage.
Ideally, your garage is the place to keep vehicles out of the elements. Most of us expect more from our garages, however. Small garages might not have enough space for free-standing shelves or wall-mounted storage due to the constraints of needing to park a car or two. That’s when overhead storage can make the space more usable and efficient. Overhead storage is a great way to maximize your space and store items like lawn tools or scrap wood.
You need to keep in mind that if you have automatic garage doors, you should be careful where you put your shelves. You don’t want to interfere with the operation of your door. Despite appearing difficult to make, don’t hesitate to try to DIY overhead garage storage if it fits your needs!
