When trying to find a place for everything inside your garage, it always seems that things end up on the floor and pushed into corners. This leaves your garage looking cluttered, messy and neglected. Instead of continuing the cycle, it’s time to free up your floor with DIY garage shelves. They are easy to make, maintain and store all the essentials. DIY garage shelves are one of the best investments for your garage because they are simple to install and everyone always needs extra storage.
Start on the Wall
Utilizing wall space efficiently is key when constructing DIY garage shelves. Most of the time, wall space is unused and wasted potential. Shelves can be as simple as buying some wood from a hardware store and screwing them to the wall. If you’re looking to go one step further, adding a pegboard to the wall provides versatility and allows you to hang almost anything: shovels, hand tools and even bikes. By mixing and matching wooden shelves and a pegboard, you’ll have more than enough space for everything.
Rolling Carts
While it may be overlooked, building a rolling cart containing shelf space is always a good option especially if the garage is used as a workspace. Building a cart can seem complicated but most hardware stores should give you fairly simple instructions on how to make your own for little cost. This way, you can have all of your most used tools and items at your fingertips during the day and you can push the cart into the corner for a neat and tidy look at night.
