For many of us, the garage ends up being an unorganized dumping ground of items we’ve accumulated over the years and it can be seemingly impossible to organize. However, when done right, it can leave you with a ton of extra space that you can use as additional storage, to create a workspace, or even as an extra room.

Here are little-known tips to organize your garage that you can try today:

Organize Your Long-Handled Tools Using Pvc Piping

This is a super easy DIY project that can help sort and organize all those long-handled tools such as rakes, shovels, hammers, and brushes. Simply, nail small sections of PVC piping to a basic rack made using a single long plank of wood and place the tools inside them, preventing them from cluttering the floor.

Install Slat Walls

Stall walls are a simple way to utilize your wall space. Once you have installed them, they can be used in all sorts of ways to hoist everything from sports equipment to even small shelves and cupboards.

Use Storage Bins

You can sort and stack plastic storage bins to store specific items for easy access. Just make sure to label them correctly.

Use Jars

Jars are a great way to store smaller items such as screws, nuts, and bolts. Or to store loose change or extra paint.

Create a Power Tools Station

You can store your power tools in a specific section, where you can organize and charge them all in one space.

Create a Foldable Workstation

A foldable workstation can help you save space and is a simple DIY project that can add a ton of functionality to your garage.

Use a Hanging Shelf Unit

An easy way to create a hanging shelf unit is by using a magnetic metal sheet that can be used to store paintbrushes, tools, or even cans.

Use Vertical Space

You can also make the most out of the vertical space available in your garage. This can be used to store items that you are not likely to use regularly, such as camping equipment. A simple way to do this is by using a pulley system to hoist a rack, with storage bins, to the ceiling.
