Garage Wall Storage – Get Control of Your Garage Space

Are you getting to the point where you have to decide whether your car(s) or your stuff will go in the garage? You can reclaim your garage by implementing garage wall organization. Garage wall organizers help you utilize your wall space and get items up off the floor and out of the way.

Before purchasing any wall storage system, you should plan your garage first. Pick a good day and clean out your garage. Sort items into piles to toss, keep, sell or donate. Get exact measurements, including garage door clearance, floor space, windows and doors, and note location of outlets, switches and stairs. Think about what needs to readily accessible, what can be stored out of the way, and how much space will be needed for activities like auto or bike repair or home projects. What items should or shouldn’t be reachable by your children? What are your style preferences? Once you have this information, you can select and buy your garage storage organizers.
