How Can I Organize my Garage or Basement?The garage can seem too big to organize, but not if you take it one step at a time. Start with the basic rules of what to keep and what to get rid of. After the weeding out process, begin to organize perhaps putting all tools in one area, paint and painting supplies in another, bikes, kids rollerskates, sporting equipment, etc. There are many different ideas to organizing a garage and we found some that we think are very useful like the overhead garage storage (great for holiday decorations, camping gear, etc.) for about $65 and up, or there are wall mount, standing, drawered, shelved tool organizers and complete wall units which are great for gardening tools, standing yard tools like rakes, your basic tools like wrenches and saws, screws, nuts and bolts, batteries, and more all beginning at $11.99 up to $600.00. If you want to protect your garage floor from oil stains and tire marks, you would need floor mat starting at $39.99 up to about $189.00. If you want to hang your bikes so they are out of the way you can buy a wall mounted bike for $59.99 or perhaps you'd like the bike hanger for only $12.99. If you need a nice space for golf clubs or fishing poles or skis, check out the Golf Equipment and Storage System for $79.99 and the hanging wall mount fishing pole rack (holds six poles) for about $42.99, and the ski rack which holds 4 pair of skis for $42.99 as well.
