Buying Guide for Garage Storage Units |
|
|
|
|
More than ever, people are spending large amounts of leisure time in their garages, using them as home offices, playrooms for children, workshops and even “man-caves”. The diversity of garage storage units now available with which to accessorize the garage is nothing short than amazing—everything from custom-made cabinets to remote-controlled overhead ceiling storage racks. Here are just a few of the more popular items you will find when you start searching for the ultimate in garage storage devices:
Shelves and Cabinets
Whether utilizing the vertical or horizontal space in your garage, shelving and cabinetry are excellent devices to use for organizing and safely storing a variety of items. Sturdy wire shelves capable of holding 100 pounds and coated with special solutions to resist corrosion and rust work well to hold toxic chemicals needing plenty of air circulation to reduce possible build-up of heat and fumes. Upright, freestanding garage cabinets are especially made to hold taller items like shovels, weed whackers and sports equipment while smaller wall cabinets make it easier to grab tools frequently used around the home.
Pegboards
Pegboards accommodate your ever-changing collection of items that you keep specifically in the garage. With pegboards containing evenly spaced holes, you can move hooks around anywhere on the pegboard depending on what you need to hang at that time. In addition, pegboards are primarily made of tough, co-polymer materials that never lose their shape, repels liquids and oil and does not need painted. Not only can you use pegboards in the garage but you will also find them to be handy organizers in the kitchen, garden shed and swimming pool area.
Tool Chests
Even a weekend mechanic needs a tool chest to safely store tools and prevent them from being lost, broken or borrowed and never returned. Tool chests can be small, three or four drawer storage devices or impressive, 20-drawer workbenches built on heavy-duty casters for easy movement within the garage. Moreover, each drawer is equipped with a locking mechanism to ensure tools are safe from being inadvertently pilfered.
Overhead Storage Racks
One of the most overlooked storage areas in medium to larger-sized garages is the ceiling. Overhead storage racks are available in remote control or manual/pulley systems that allow you to store seasonal or infrequently-used items near the ceiling. Racks come in a variety of sizes and support capability, with heavy-duty, ceiling storage racks able to hold items as large and heavy as motorcycles, ATVs and even full-sized vehicles.
Slatwall
Transform your garage walls into the ultimate storage units with slatwall, a type of panel offering grooves in which you can hang all kinds of bins, mesh baskets, hooks, small cabinets and tool bars.
After decluttering your garage with items designed to facilitate the process of organizing your garage, don't forget to consider concealing that dingy, cracked cement floor with comfortable, flexible rubber matting or having the cement coated and sealed with a beautiful polyurethane finish. |
