Ideas on Garage Shelves or Organization?

dragr1 · 10-20-2005, 05:38 PM

I'm looking for ideas (websites, pics) on ways to organize my garage. I'm not looking for all out super expensive stuff, mainly just shelving that can be hung to the wall w/o installing those sliding panels. I need more storage!

I just went to Home Depot and got some heavy duty metal shelves w/ the wooden pressboard tops. You can make them 6' tall as shelves or in half for two 36" tall work benches side by side. I then put 3/4" plywood on top of these...I got like (7) sets and lined both sides of the garage...I think I had them when you were here...cheap and works great. Then up high over them I have that wire shelving for extra junk...all the way around the top of the garage.

My floor is already full of camper and workbenches. That wire shelving or something similar is what I'm looking for.

Wire shelving is easy...Home Depot or Lowe's has all kinds of it, measure your space and go find what you need to fill it. Hacksaw, or some bolt cutters, drill and a hammer is about all you need...level and a ladder maybe.

16" deep is the deepest I'm finding, 20" deep would be better.

Those wire shelves-that's what I'm looking for. They are just the home depot or closetmaid stuff, right?
