Is your garage an oversize toybox full of your kids toys and sports equipment? Is your garage nothing but a storage shed for all of your lawn and garden needs? Do you park your car in the garage or does it sit outside in the sun, rain and snow? I had all of these same problems until I decided to take my garage back. I never knew that there were so many cool storage and organization products for your garage. With a few hundred dollars and a half a days work my garage was now being used for what it was meant to be used for. PARKING MY CARS! It was these products that made me decide to open my own store, EZ Storage Solutions , and make people aware of what was out there.
The garage is the “last frontier” of your house when it comes to storage. I never knew that I could have all of the kids toys, my lawn equipment, my snowblower and two cars share the same space, but thanks to some of the items listed below this can be, (and for me, is) true.

The Cabinet Advantage

One great storage secret is to use cabinets for storage. Storage cabinets allow you to take advantage of all your vertical space. By using a cabinet like the one shown you can increase your storage by as much as six times in the same area by using shelves and going upward.

Other cabinets make use of drawers to help keep everything organized, or they come with doors so that everything can be stored out of sight to give a clean appearance. Some cabinets even mount off the floor to make use of the floor space underneath it. These cabinets are also very nice for garage use because they can be mounted in places where the floor is uneven and they are up off the ground where moisture can damage cabinets. Typical cabinet materials include wood, steel and plastic.

Up in the Sky, It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s Storage?

An incredible way to maximize the storage in your garage is to use overhead storage organizers. These organizers come in a variety of styles and materials. Overhead storage organizers allow you to make use of all of the unused space at the ceiling of your garage. On overhead organizer can be as simple as two hooks in the joists to hold a bike to a 4′ x 4′ platform that can hold 250 pounds that is lowered up and down with a pulley system. The possibilities are endless with this type of organizer. An overhead organizer like the one shown below can hold push lawn mowers, small snow blowers or many other things to free up valuable floor space in your garage.

Sports and Tool Storage

There are many, many options out in the market today for storing all of your sports and lawn and garden equipment. If you have it in your garage chances are good that there is a tool out there to help you organize it. Storage organizers can stand alone on the floor, mount to the wall or slide in to a slatwall system. Stand alone storage organizers still use up valuable floor space, but they can be very helpful in keeping things organized. Storage organizers that mount on the wall can help keep all of your items off the floor in a neat organized manner. They are typically very small and lightweight and extremely easy to install.
