Using the space in your garage effectively is an affirmation that the sky is the limit even with a roof over your head. The most improper use of garage space is to place things on the floor where your car is supposed to stand. Clutter and random storage is how most homeowners lose space in their garages every day.
Hanging bicycles is the most common use for overhead storage. Bikes can be stored using either static shelving or moving lifts and hoists. With static shelving, you hang your bike from an overhead shelf allowing complete freedom of movement on the floor below. With moving lifts, the method used most is the bike lift hoist system.
As many as ten storage bins can be installed in the overhead storage space. Bins can be installed on tracks providing greater security and safety for both the items stored and the people below. It is common practice that objects like these be stored in sturdy containers in order to protect them from any possible erosion. Reaching these items will be more difficult so it is recommended that only items that will not be of immediate use be stored there. This would normally be old toys or children's clothing that will no longer be needed.
Personal space is not the only gain of storing goods off the floor. Damage from the elements is reduced when items are stored on the wall or overhead. There is a decreased risk of water or rodent damage when objects are raised off the ground. You can also avoid water damage from any water that may leak under doors and onto your garage floor.
Slat walls are the most versatile means for making the most of the possible storage space in a garage. The serve an aesthetic as well as a functional purpose for any homeowner hoping to claim back their parking space. Slat walls can be used to hang tools in a neat and organized fashion. This will make them easier to find as well as store after they have been used. This reduces the risk of clutter as well as potential injury. The versatility of slat wall lies in its ability to hold various weights as well as hanging apparel.
