Make Garage Storage Work for You

• Determine how you wish to use the space. Besides a place to park the car(s), does it need to be a workshop? A storage center? For lawn and gardening equipment or for sporting goods? All of the above? To meet the various needs, create a floor plan and stick to it.
• Get rid of things that don't work!
• Sort, purge, and then decide the proper storage method for the treasures that you must keep. Clearly label both the tops and the sides of any storage containers you use.
• Consider floor-to-ceiling possibilities for shelving, racks, stackable drawers, hooks, and pegboards.
