Using a few plastic bins and wooden planks, you can easily install this storage system to take advantage of the space above a retractable garage store. This system makes it easy to store out-of-season clothing, seasonal items, and tools.


Using a pool noodle as a storage solution

Pool noodles are most commonly used for floating, but they can also work well for other household tasks. First, cut the noodle into sections. To cut the noodles, use a utility knife equipped with a sharp blade. Next, construct a three-sided jig using lumber. The jig will hold the noodle in a trough created by two sides of the jig. Cut the noodle along the jig, ensuring that it is secure.

Epoxy flooring

Now is the time to start looking for flooring options. There are many differences between floor coatings. While there are pros and cons to each, you should know the difference before you make a decision. The best floor coating is 100% solids or Aliphatic epoxy. This will withstand heavy traffic. Another important aspect to consider is the abrasion ranking. Consider epoxy for your garage. Avoid using water-based epoxies, coatings, or other products that aren't suitable for your abrasion rating. Before you purchase epoxy, it is important to assess the current condition of your garage floor. You should first grind down concrete garage floors or have it acid-etched twice before applying epoxy.

Organization with a wheelbarrow

You might consider placing your wheelbarrow on an adjustable cleat to ensure it stays off the ground in a garage with limited storage. You can also add some wood to the wheelbarrow to make it an attractive and functional holding solution. The wheelbarrow is secure until you have to use it again.
