Make Room for the Car: 7 Easy DIY Garage Organizers

The garage is a great place to park your car but it can also be used as a catch-all for your stuff. Sturdy air-tight containers can be used to store and protect your stuff from dust and animals. They can be neatly stacked against the wall. Use bungee cords to store and organize your kid's balls and sporting equipment if you have unfinished walls in your garage. Just nail the cords at the base of the wall and nail at the top. An old wood pallet can be nailed to the wall and used to store shovels, skis and rakes. Pegboards can be nailed to the wall of your garage and used to keep all your tools organized. PVC pipe cut an angle can be nailed to the wall and used to organize rakes and tools. Fold-out racks can be used to keep bicycles off the ground.

Key Takeaways:

Boxes can present a uniform appearance, and are a great way to store small items in the garage.
Bungee cords can keep balls from falling everywhere, but still allow easy access.
A wooden pallet on its side can keep long-handled items off of the floor, and secured.

“Sturdy airtight containers will help protect your things from dust and pests, and storing them high on a wall rather than along the floor will keep your boxes dry in case of flood.”
