Ideas on Efficient Garage Storage/Organization
Posted on 1/6/14 at 3:31 pm

We have a two car garage, and are starting to need more storage space. Currently its just an empty garage that holds the lawn mower and other lawn equipment - nothing else is in there but with both cars, space is a little limited.
I have seen several different ways to add shelving and storage, but I can't decide on what is the best way. Suggestions on what works the best or what you have done to yours?
Musts:
- I want nothing sitting on the ground - would rather build into walls vs buying metal shelving stacks
- Don't want to spend TOO much since this won't be our permanent home
- I have re-sell value in the back of my mind always
- I want it to still look nice
If there was a similar thread recently on this topic can someone direct me to it? I searched but I suck at searching. TIA

Take some pics of the garage that will help...

Make your shelfs out of PVC pipe and add storage bins. I made mine just like the ones in the pic.

Shelving from HD or Lowes would be cheaper than buying 2x4s and building your own maybe. Unlimited options available.

You need Gladiator Garage Works.

You can take everything with you when you move, even the tracks.
(I would leave them)

Lookie who it is 
I had this issue after a year in my new house. I looked at everything in my garage/closets and if I didn't use it in the past year, it went in the attic. I have a little more room it sounds than you, because I bought 3 metal erector shelves and put them along the back wall of the garage. The only things on the ground now are lawnmower, deep freeze chest, tool chest, and garbage can. I would suggest buying wood shelving and supports and drill into your studs and create horizontal shelves running along the sides of the garage. It will probably be cheapest, not necessarily easiest. Shouldn't take more than a day if you have help. If you need help, you have my info
