How to Reclaim the Garage Using Closet Organizing Systems


Many homeowners find it difficult to save space for their cars in the garage. There are often so many extra items that are set aside for storage that they take over the area that was originally designated for vehicles. Adapting a modular closet organizing system helps homeowners to divide the garage space for storing vehicles and other items. There is a variety of methods to organize the other items so that the vehicle can be easily pulled into the parking space and the driver and passengers can exit and enter without damaging the doors or the items in storage. One of the most notable advantages to putting modular closet systems in the garage is to remove things that are stored on the floor for a cleaner environment.

Individual Modules Sports equipment is one of the biggest offenders of auto space theft. Balls, racquets and bats tend to fall over or roll away when not stored in cabinets or baskets, taking up space and damaging other items in their way. Placing sports equipment in modular units makes them easier to find when it's time to use them. Individual modules from closet organizers can be adapted to the garage and mounted to the wall or anchored to the floor for reliable storage.

Shelving With Doors For the car enthusiast, keeping carwash equipment at the ready is important. Rather than leaving the bucket on the floor, it can be stored on shelving behind closed doors. This not only reduces clutter, it keeps cleaning products away from children and pets that are in the garage area.

Hanging Racks For homes with small storage places, the garage may be the only alternative for off-season clothes. Putting them in sealed plastic bags and storing them in custom modules instead of folding them up and putting them in stacks of boxes against the walls makes more room for the vehicle. It also keeps the garments in better shape.

Baskets Lawn and garden items are hard to keep track of and are typically thrown into wide box or bucket that is kept on the side of the garage floor. These are practical items to store in baskets which fit inside modular units. Simple gardening tools, such as trowels, tape measures, soil and seed packets can all be stored off the floor in wire basket keepers that are easy to see through.

When preparing the space for a custom closet organizing system, it is important to take measurements of the garage with and without the vehicle inside, as well as the vehicle itself. While it may take some cleaning and initial organizing, the main use of the garage for parking vehicles will create a cleaner and safer atmosphere for vehicles, drivers, passengers and stored goods in the household. It also minimizes damage to the vehicle's exterior and may prevent things from getting run over or stuck underneath the car.
