How to organize your garage

Sure, it might be where you sort the recycling and park the car and bikes, but it also (unintentionally) becomes the parking lot for everything you don’t want to bring inside, or don’t know where to put. Isn’t it time to treat that collection of hockey sticks, holiday decorations, soccer balls, and gardening tools to a new, neat home? Explore our garage organization ideas for some much needed inspiration. Welcome to possibly the most satisfying weekend project ever.

A fresh start

Before you can organize, you need a good clean out! See if you can subtract some clutter before adding more storage: the items gathering dust are usually a good place to start! Then, pass on the things you no longer need for a well-earned second life. Garage sale, anyone?

Focus on the bigger storage

These garage shelving units are sturdy, durable, and flexible – designed to withstand moisture, dirt, and heavy loads. They’re also simple to join together, so add as many as you need for your space.

Storage on wheels

Utility carts are an instant workshop on wheels, not to mention an easy way to get in some extra garage storage for those things you might need to move around. They are just as handy in the kitchen, too!

Use the walls to your advantage

Say hello to hooks, and pegboards: great for those things that won’t fit on a shelf, or that you regularly reach for.

Time to pack it all back

Boxes, bins, crates, and baskets: all ready and waiting to give your belongings a safe and happy home. Giving each kind of item a dedicated spot will help you find them in a flash, and pack them away just as fast.
