A Brand New Year – A brand new organised garage!
Transform Your Garage with Shelving and Hooks: Organise the Chaos
It’s a new year and the Christmas tree and decorations need to be packed away, along with the beach umbrella and camping chairs. No space? Time for a new organised garage!
Over time, garages become cluttered as we tend to store items “out of the way” – until the space is overflowing and the car can no longer fit. Before you consider transferring everything to a storage unit, why not consider revamping your garage with practical shelving and hooks? These two simple storage solutions can help you take control of the chaos. Here’s a closer look at how garage shelving and hooks can make a world of difference.
1. Install Garage Shelving
The first step in organising your garage is to sort items into boxes that are clearly labelled. Once that’s done, the next step is to move things off the floor and onto shelves. Utilising vertical space in your garage is an efficient and affordable way to store your belongings, and it keeps your garage tidy and accessible.
Here are some shelving options to suit any budget:
- Light Industrial Racking: This is a strong durable racking, ideal for medium-duty applications, in most commercial applications. It is also perfect for retail applications requiring parcel break bulk storage.
- Mini Racking (Longspan Shelving): This racking is perfect for larger items or bulky goods that would otherwise cause clutter and take up space in your commercial or garage space. Mini Racking is great for storing items like camping gear, holiday decorations and hobby accessories.
- Boltless Shelving: This is your modern approach to light commercial and domestic shelving, and its load capacity and versatility should not be underestimated. The shelves are cost-effective, easy to assemble, and just as easy to adjust to fit your needs. They are perfect for storerooms, garages, and retail applications.
- Bolted Shelving (Meccano Shelving): This is your old-school approach to light commercial and domestic shelving; they are cost-effective and are perfect for storerooms, garages, and retail applications.
2. Add Garage Hooks for Flexible Storage
Not everything fits neatly on a shelf, and that’s where garage hooks come in. A track and hook system is perfect for hanging items that don’t have an obvious place, such as bikes, tools, jackets, surfboards, tents, umbrellas or bags. There’s a wide range of hook options available to suit different needs, including:
- Vertical Bike Hooks: Store bikes off the floor to save space.
- Flat Bike Hooks: Ideal for hanging bikes horizontally against the wall.
- Utility Hooks: Available in short, long, and round shapes for various tools and equipment.
- Single Hooks: Small hooks designed for hanging lighter items like hats, bags, and jackets.
By combining both garage shelving and hooks, you can completely reorganise your garage (or any storage space) and make the most of your available area.
