Garage Organizing Ideas

  • Tall laundry hampers and clean garbage cans make good containers to store bulky sports items

  • An old golf bag holds long handled tools like shovels and rakes

  • Make a place to keep all the car care items together

  • Install a shelf on the ceiling for storage of skis, toboggans, snowboards

  • Install hooks on the walls for hoses

  • Hangers on the walls can hold brooms and shovels

  • Attach shelves high on the walls to store seasonal items and switch with the things on the lower shelves as the seasons change

  • Coffee cans, tins and plastic containers work well for small objects, such as nails, nuts & bolts, etc.

  • A pegboard on the wall with various shapes and sizes of hooks may be useful

  • Put things in clear plastic containers and label them, so you know exactly what is in them

  • Label the shelves A, B, C etc. 

  • Post a master list on the wall and list the items stored on each shelf and in each container

  • Place a thermometer in the garage and check it monthly, as products such as paint and craft supplies can be ruined by extreme heat or cold. Read the product labels for storage temperatures

  • Leave the items used most often near the door, for easy access
