Tips for Organizing Your Garage

If your car is in the street because it can't fit in the garage, that's a pretty good sign it's time to improve your organization.

Safety First

Hazardous materials, such as chemicals, pesticides and auto fluids, are often stored in the garage. It's important to keep these materials out of the way, and especially up high if pets and children are in the household. 

Affordably Easy

Instead of going out and buying new boxes and containers to organize large and small items, try re-purposing things you already have. Jars can be used for screw and nail storage, old garbage cans can hold soil and fertilizer, the possibilities are almost endless!

Secure Doors and Windows

Too often doors and windows in the garage do not get as much attention as those inside. However, especially if your garage is connected to your house, your windows should be kept locked, your doors should have a deadbolt and your garage door should be secure.
