Ways to effectively organize storage in your garage.

Kitchen Utensils in the Garage

Ordinary muffin tins will help you keep your garage tidy. They can be screwed to a shelf or table. Then neatly lay out the bolts, nuts and screws.

For greater convenience, stick a label next to each cell indicating the diameter or size of the nails.

PVC Pipe Garage Organizer

PVC pipes are great for storing tools. Due to their versatility, they can be attached to a wall or table. And for greater convenience, the size or diameter of the bits and drills can be written on the inside of the pipe.

If space in the garage allows, you can make a round multi-tiered stand on which all the tools will fit. It is better to allocate space at the bottom for large items, and the closer to the top, the smaller items can be stored there.

Pallets as shelves

One pallet and a dozen small boards will help to create a convenient and multifunctional rack. It can be used to store both large tools and small items that should always be at hand.

Or you can turn the pallet over, make more reliable shelves and store a drill, screwdriver and all accessories for them on them.

Storage under the ceiling

Tires and bicycles can take up a significant part of the garage, and therefore it is worth thinking about their compact storage. For example, you can use special brackets that will allow you to organize rubber under the ceiling.

Magnetic Tape

Down with jars and boxes for small items. It is much more convenient to store it on magnetic tape. Firstly, it takes up a minimum of space in the garage, and secondly, all the bits and fasteners are collected in one place and you do not need to dig around in drawers.

You can buy a special tape for tools in a hardware store or make it yourself. And if none of the options are suitable, you can bring a magnetic strip for knives from home, and it will hold just as well.

If you use a strong magnet, you can attach small jars, brushes, screwdrivers and even pliers to the strip.

Perforated board

A board with small perforations on which you can attach various hooks is suitable for organizing tools and tidying up the garage.

In addition, hardware stores offer a wide selection of fittings for perforated sheet:

• for hand tools there are various clamps and hooks;
• multi-seat cylindrical holders;
• hooks with grooves for attaching pliers.

Jars for storing small items

Small jars are convenient for storing screws, nuts, nails and other small items. For this, you can buy small plastic containers and screw the lids to the bottom of a shelf or table.

Or again, use magnetic tape. But in this case, you need to stick a small but strong magnet to the bottom of the jar so that it can hold everything in a horizontal position.

Another option for storing screws in jars is to make a shelf with a rotating element inside, to which the jars are attached.

It is better to use transparent containers so that their contents are easy to see.

Shelf for screwdrivers

When you know where this or that tool is, it makes the work process much easier and faster. That is why a wooden shelf for screwdrivers is a godsend for those who love order.

Storing wrenches

If you don’t have a special toolbox, you can attach an old garden rake to a perforated sheet and hang wrenches on them according to size.

Or you can make a wooden shelf that will have room not only for wrenches, but also for other small items.

Small boxes

It is more convenient to store small parts, nails, and hardware, which are often simply scattered throughout the garage, in small boxes. They can be attached to the wall above the work table in several rows.

It is not difficult to tidy up your garage, you just need to spend a little time on it and use one of the suggested tips.
