There is a law in physics called entropy which is the tendency for order to turn to disorder.

If you are reading this, you have probably experienced entropy at work in your garage, where there is the greatest tendency for disorganisation in the home.

Fortunately, the battle against nature is easily won with a little effort and a lot of organisation. Get your garage clear, ordered and sort out your garage storage systems, and you will always be able to find what you are looking for. Get it right and you will have plenty of space to store your tools and gardening equipment and can order everything else that is usually just dumped in your garage.

To make organising your garage storage easier we have a guide to organising garage storage to help you get the most use of the available space, with tips on how to organise your garage to make your life easier.

Garage Storage Do’s ……

Measure, measure and measure again for shelving and cabinets. It pays to be certain.
Think volume rather than floor space to maximise your storage options
Keep dangerous items such as chemicals in a lockable cabinet
Buy a secure lockable cabinet for any valuables you want to store in your garage.
Flammable items should not be stored within half a metre of the boiler or a heater
Label all boxes correctly and create an inventory
Factor in additional storage to cope with changing needs in the future
Keep your garage clean, and take time to put everything back in its proper place
If you have kids, keep all dangerous items out of arms reach

….. and Dont’s

Don’t cover up drains with boxes or block access to fuse boxes or ventilation systems
Don’t forget that doors need to open – leave sufficient space
Don’t exceed the UDL levels of your shelving
Don’t fill more than ¾ of your shelves. If you are virtually full up you need another shelving unit.
