Tackling any cleaning and organization project is tough. It can be overwhelming if you have a lot of stuff and not a lot of space.
However, approaching this monumental task is easier when you “Zone It.”
CREATE ZONES
Each area of your garage should be broken down into zones. Zones can be organized by items used daily or for quick and easy grabbing, long-term zones to store away holiday décor or seasonal items, and most importantly the car.
Garage organization does not have to be hard, just take it one step at a time.
ZONE 1
HOME IMPROVEMENT/TOOLS
Most garages are the home to household tools like hammers, wrenches, cleaning products, even lumber or fertilizer.
Using cabinets and shelving makes sense for these items. There are a variety of cabinets to choose from, including a Tall Gear Box that has doors that close to hide the clutter and wheels to move around easily. Wall cabinets are another option that get your stuff up off the floor or the Workbench and organized into an easy-to-reach area.
Heavy Duty Mega Racks provide open shelving that can hold the heaviest of items. Organizing larger items into one area that is easily accessed and organized.

ZONE 2
LAWN AND GARDEN
Yard tools change season-to-season and with weather changes. These items are also bulky and can be hard to store in an organized fashion. The other issue is the items need to be easy to reach when needed, but not in the way when not needed.
Wall systems work perfectly for Zone 2. The GearTrack system offers a variety of options for hanging these items easily and within reach. The GearWall Panels are another great choice that provides more customized options for hanging a variety of items.
Utility Carts are another great way to keep items organized and easily accessible, works especially great for gardening. The carts have wheels to move with you where you are working and can be put away easily.

ZONE 3
SEASONAL ITEMS
Whether it is seasonal décor, boxes of paperwork or even sentimental items you cannot part with; these infrequently used items shouldn’t take up valuable floor space in the garage. For items you only use specific times a year or only a few times, or even for storing away old items you are not ready to part with yet, overhead storage creates an entire room above your car.
Overhead Storage Racks come in stationary or adjustable. Racks come in a variety of sizes and color options and can hold up to 250 to 600 pounds (depending on selections.)
Additionally, if you have an attic area above your garage Attic Ladders are a great way to put that unused space to good use. Using this area frees up your garage floor space and is easily, and safely, accessible.

ZONE 4
SPORTS & RECREATION
Sports and recreation equipment tend to be seasonal in nature and can be bulky and oddly shaped, making organization a challenge. Storing out-of-season gear in Zone 3 makes sense, but there are also a few different options to get the arranged for easy-to-access storage.
Organize the items with a GearWall System. GearWall Systems offer a variety of different hooks, shelves, bins, etc. to make storage simple. No matter what it is, there is probably a hook or bin that will get it up and out of the way.
