Our garage is a mess right now with all the yard equipment and my husbands project car. A garden shed sounds like a wonderful idea to help organize it all.
Lots of good advice as always, thanks for these tips. 🙂
Thank you for mentioning tossing what isn’t needed. That’s always the best start when reorganizing!
Yes to wall space! We put up some shelfs, and our smaller bins fit perfectly!
My son put in pre-built storage racks and built shelving so that they have room to store their Christmas Decorations, camping gear etc etc. That helps a lot, however come summer then there is literally not a spare inch on the garage floor. Their cars are parked outside and inside is the camping gear, bikes and all the other summer gear. It’ll soon all get packed away now that fall is on the way.
We recently built a garden shed that now holds all our gardening stuff. Certainly helps to declutter the garage.
My husband built a big garage and he keeps it organized by putting little in it and instead it goes in the basement. lol True statement !
That is so funny!
We don’t have a garage but I can use a lot of tips for my basement.
Yes, those would work for basements too!
