Use plastic containers within the cabinets to contain specific items and the keep them stored in distinct categories. You can find several sizes of cabinets and those that are complete or require a little assembly. Garages often lack sufficient space, so consider a mounted cabinet for additional storage. For the sake of safety, avoid placing heavy items are dangerous tools in and overhead cabinet so that items don’t fall on people.

Racks are a useful way of keeping items off the floor. This can be especially useful for keeping potentially dangerous items that can be tripped over such as rakes and saws. Look for racks in the form of panels with hooks that you can hang things up on. If you have several cyclists in the family, look for bike racks designed for garages. What can work on the top of your car to keep your bike steady can also be used in the interior for of the garage to hold in your bicycle in place.

Smaller items such as nails, screws, and batteries get lost easily and can be a headache to keep track of.
