About Garage Organizers

About Garage Organizers


Garage organizers used to be just hooks in a peg board. Now there is a wide choice of styles available so that you can make a custom setup that just fits your needs. Garage organizers are a wise investment if just for the money you will save from having to replace expensive equipment that can easily get damaged if not stored properly. Does this Spark an idea?


Types


There are specific garage organizers for everything that you would possibly want to store in a garage. You can choose from bicycle hangers, ceiling shelves, wheelbarrow brackets, heavy duty shelving, utility racks and cabinets, garden equipment racks, sports equipment racks, garden hose racks and units that can hold a variety of items.


Features


Bicycle holders come in several types. One is a bracket that extends out from the wall and holds up to 4 bicycles suspended by their rear wheels. The others are either suspended from the ceiling or attached to the wall and hold the bicycles up right. Ceiling shelves come in all sizes and are perfect for holding out of season equipment. Wheelbarrow brackets are 17-inch U-shaped brackets that hold the wheelbarrow against the wall with the wheels facing out. Heavy duty styles can do a variety of things for instance, one can hold three bicycles upright supported from the bottom shelf and there are three shelves with a large capacity. Garden equipment racks hold the items either by the handles or by the bottom and sports racks are specific for each sport.


Benefits


Besides the obvious benefit of giving you more garage space, using garage organizers will prevent many expensive possessions from becoming damaged. For instance, bicycles should not be left standing on their tires for a long time or the tires will go flat. Using a bicycle storage rack will take the pressure off and it is easy to take them off the rack


Potential


Using garage organizers has the potential of turning your garage into a usable space. Garage organizers and cabinets are designed to be close to the wall or up on the ceiling, leaving most of the garage for the car. There is also the potential to make the garage a safer place.


Considerations


Cost can be a consideration when buying garage organizers, but there is a way to save. Consider buying them in sets instead of individual pieces. Consider the heavy duty ones as they can hold a good deal more than the regular. Definitely consider the roof racks because they also have a larger capacity.
