Simple Ways to Maximize Your Garage’s Potential

How to maximize the space and make it more functional.

If your garage always seems like a mess no matter how many times your organize it…well, we’ve got some simple ways to maximize the space and make it more functional.

If you’ve got an old file cabinet you’ve been meaning to get ride if…keep it and turn it into a storage solution. Get rid of the drawers, turn it on it’s side and use it to store things like rakes, shovels, brooms and more.

Also, reduce clutter on shelves by turning pvc pipes into drill holders. Cut the pipe to length, sand rough edges, and attach to the bottom of shelves to stay organized.

For anyone who’s got kids that are into multiple sports, create a flexible structure to store all of their equipment. All you need is some lumber and bungee cords like you see here. This will help keep things in order instead of all over the garage or yard. Another solution is using a hamper to store things as well.

This one isn’t really about organization but more for protecting your car! If it’s a tight squeeze to park in your garage let alone open the door to get out…install pool noodles on the wall to avoid dents and scuffs.

Know where everything is with the help of chalkboard paint! Use it on your shelving and then you can write below your totes and boxes so you know exactly where everything is.
