It is so tempting to put off the task of sorting your garage as it can be a boring job. When you consider sorting your garage you should remember that the purpose of this activity is to find a designated place for everything whilst keeping your goods easily foud for everyday use. Follow these four steps for a easy approach to re-organizing your garage or shed.
Arrange Your Garage Contents
First of all sort and categorize all the contents of your garage. To do this you should empty your garage and start organizing everything into categories. Sort the tools from sporting equipment, electric tools, etc. You will be able to see what you have got and only then will you be able to determine the most efficient way to sort and store everything. Also, you should sort the things that should be in the garage from the things that need to be in the basement, attic or better, sold at a garage sale. Don’t forget to recycle everything that you decide to throw away.
Sort Out Seasonal Items and Equipment
A rack like a Broom and Mop Holder should be installedput in to hang lawn maintenance tools and to keep them accessible yet out of the way. For winter, place snow related equipment like snow blowers, ice scrapers, snow shovels and also skis, snowboards and sleds together. Keep the seasonal tools together and keep sporting equipment together as well.
Additional Shelving and Racks
Whilst tidying up you should think about adding additional garage storage space to help you maintain the organization. There are racks, shelves, hooks and drawers available that will make keeping all your stuff easier and neater. Shelves, racks and cabinets should be installed on the walls. The basic principle is to keep the items that you need all the time in a way that makes them easily accessible every time you require them.
Make an Efficient Working Area
Putting in a bench or a table would be a good choice if you use your garage as a workshop. A solid tool chest and a pegboard are good for keeping your tools and keeping them so that they are easily accessible.
This would be a good time to get a handyman to have cabinets, closets and shelves built in your garage or shed. Invest in some good storage products as mentio ed before and start organizing, sorting and storing.
