5 Garage & Shed Organization Tips for Home Storage

Is your garage or shed being used for seasonal storage versus your hobbies? Turn your home storage into more useable space with these garage and shed organization tips.

Step 1: Clean House

Remove all the items you are not using, dried paint, and broken tools. The garage and shed can turn into a recycling area or the “I’ll get to the later” drop off zone. Clean up before rearranging.

Vertical Storing is Key

Whether you install a slat wall or use a pegboard with hooks, your walls offer the most available space. In your shed get creative with your shelves and make a few yourself! Family Handyman offers many DIY projects that only take a few hours on the weekend.

Use Overhead Storage

Your kayak and canoes are only brought out occasionally, where do you store them after the latest adventure? Make shelves suspended from the ceiling and hang your boards up to dry after use.

Magnets = Organized Workbench

Attach some magnetic strips to the wall above your workbench and keep all your tools in order.
