Smart Ways to Organise and Upgrade Your Garage

by Zap Garage Doors|23 October, 2019

For most, a garage serves a basic purpose, to keep large items safe and sheltered. Whether it’s the car, power tools, hobby equipment or things we no longer want, our garage is the place where we house a whole array of bits and bobs, but what if optimal  organisation allowed us to do something more with our garages? This article is going to delve into how to make the most of your garage, so it can serve more than just this one purpose.

Start by organising your garage’s content first

Take a look at what you have around you and see how you’ve used your available space. Have you utilised the ceiling space and the walls? Here are a few tips and tricks that’ll help you to make the most of your garage, so that you can enjoy the extra space and turn your garage into something more than just a storage room.

  • Organise your garage into zones
    Divide your garage into distinct zones, whether that’s hobby gear, tools, toys or decorations – split them up. This will help with garage organisation and help you to keep everything neat, tidy and easy to find. 
  • Ceiling storage
    Believe it or not, ceiling storage is a great way to free up space in your garage. Who typically uses their ceilings? You! Simply install a sturdy grid frame that’ll hold boxes when you slide them over the fittings. This is a great space for your seasonal decorations. 
  • Wall fixtures
    Pop up a tool rack on your wall, you can have a wall rail system with hooks, that’ll hold gardening tools and other bits and pieces. Wall magnets prove to be useful for metal utensils but french cleat tool storage systems are better for supporting heavier weights. 

 

  • Remote access
    Having the ability to open your garage door at the push of a button can make parking a dream and unloading shopping simple. Remote access offers a luxury you never knew you needed, it offers users smooth operation, safety cut-outs if there’s an obstacle obstructing and a stylish finish to your home.  
  • Parking guides
    Simple and cost-effective ways to ensure your garage and car are always dent and bump free, is to attach a bumper cushion to your walls. This way, you can relax when the kids jump out of the door or you park a bit closer to the wall than usual. Another option is to dangle a tennis ball from the ceiling – this can be your marker to ensure you’ve parked just right.
