A

g arage has three jobs, and storage is

just one of them. Yet garages often

turn into dumping grounds during

the cold winter months, making it

a struggle to get the car in there, let alone

retain some space for those important

home projects.

But a little organisation and planning

can prepare your garage to handle the

inevitable invasion of sporting goods,

toys, bikes, boxes and more that seem to

hibernate there over winter.

First, sturdy cupboards put items out

of sight and out of the way. A lockable

cupboard is also a great place to safely and

securely store garden pesticides, paints

and other potentially hazardous items.

Not everything needs to be behind

lock and key, so call in some adjustable

shelves to keep frequently-used items like

toolboxes and compartment boxes off the

floor but handy.

Modular corner units are a great way to

connect shelves on two walls, and provide

a little extra depth. Modern shelving

units are also designed to be flexible and

added onto over time, too, so your shelving

capacity can keep pace with your storage

needs for years to come.

Lastly, and arguably the most important

item is a heavy-duty workbench, preferably

with drawers or a small cabinet nestled

neatly underneath.

These modular units usually come

mounted on wheels, which makes them

easy to move around and keep within

arm’s reach no matter where in the home

the DIY project is.

A pegboard over the workbench will

keep screwdrivers, hammers, pliers

and wrenches organised and quickly

accessible. After that, a couple of hooks to

hang bikes or garden tools will complete

the makeover and ensure your garage stays

organised and uncluttered over winter.

Turn this... into this

These simple storage solutions will help your garage absorb the influx

of hibernating bikes, sports gear, garden tools and more this winter.
