Garage Wall Storage

Garage wall storage helps you efficiently use the vertical space in your garage (and makes it easy to find and access your stuff).

The more items you can get off the floor of your garage, the better. This one step alone will keep your garage much neater and tidier, especially if you designate a home for the items you store.

And since you have more wall space in your garage than floor space, this is good news.

And there are so many great organizers that let you use all that wonderful wall space:

• You can hang peg-board on the wall above your workbench to hang tools. This keeps them easy to find and put away, and keeps your tools within reach. You've probably seen the handy trick of outlining the tools hanging on the peg-board once you have arranged them the way you want them -- this means you don't have to stop and wonder where to put away each tool each time. 
• You can easily hang bikes on the wall of your garage with simple wall-mounted racks or hooks. 
• You can get a wall-mounted rack to store batteries; these racks will not only store up to several dozen batteries at a time, but they'll also recharge them.
• You can install both open shelving and closed shelving (otherwise known as cupboards or cabinets) on your walls to store plastic bins, paint cans, holiday decorations, potting soil, and all the other items that make their way into the garage.
• You can hang wall-mounted racks for rakes, shovels, and sporting equipment like tennis rackets.
• Install pegs and hooks for folding lawn chairs, patio umbrellas, luggage, ladders, hammocks...the list goes on and on. I personally love pegs and hooks, especially when you specifically designate which item goes on which hook; the more clearly you define a home for every item in your garage, the easier it will be to keep it tidy.

As you can see, garage wall storage gives you almost unlimited options when you're trying to figure out how to organize your garage.
