Make the Most of Garage Space
-
Set up a car-care cabinet
Make sure that you can always find what you need to care for your vehicle. Devoting a cabinet solely to car-care products will save you time. -
Store tools on the walls
Store tools in your garage more easily on the walls. This can be as simple as hanging them from hooks or devising systems for specific tools. -
Add some useful shelves
You can keep your floor clear by adding some garage shelves. If making your own, be sure to use a level and sturdy materials. -
Use a pegboard to hang objects
Add a pegboard to the wall to give you somewhere to easily hang many different types of object. It is simple to fit and incredibly versatile. -
Fit a magnetic shelf
Store metallic objects in the garage with a magnetic shelf for less hassle. This keeps things like tins and pots neatly in place.
