10 Easy Pieces: Garage Organizers

While some people have dream vacations, I dream of an organized garage. Here are ten storage accessories to help that dream become reality.

delta-cycle-el-greco-ceiling-hoist-bike-storage-gardenista
Above: When I come in from a bike ride, the last thing I want to (or can) do is hoist my bike over my head to the rubber hooks in my garage ceiling. Here’s a solution that I like: the El Greco Ceiling Hoist from Delta Cycle. Just hook the supports on your bike and use the pulley system to lift up and out of the way; includes mounting hardware and instructions and is $25 at REI.
Delta-Cycle-el-greco-with-kayak-gardenista
Above: While designed to store bikes, the El Greco Ceiling Hoist works well for other equipment (up to a maximum of 50 pounds) including kayaks or ladders.
Gladiator-Garge-Works-Gear-Track-Gardenista
Above: From Gladiator Garageworks (who specialize in garage wall storage systems), the GearTrack Pack is a fantastic storage starter system. It includes two 4-foot pieces of GearTrack, an assortment of eight hooks of varying sizes that fit in the track channels and end caps. The set is $59.99 through Gladiator.
I envision this this powder coated steel Go Rhino Garage and Shop Organizer shelf and towel rack full of gardening supplies and rolls of twine; $106.51 at Walmart.

Industrial-Steel-Coat-Rack-MC-Lemey-Gardenista
Above: My son drags dripping wetsuits and other wet gear into the garage and drapes it over any available location (my car roof rack, for instance). How I would love this Industrial Steel Coat Rack mounted in the corner of the garage to catch and hold these items. Made to order in Portland, Oregon, it is $270 through the MC Lemay Esty Shop.
wall-control-galvanized-organizer-Gardenista
Above: Leave the flimsy and rust-prone pegboards behind. The aptly named Wall Control Galvanized Steel Pegboard Organizer is ten times stronger than traditional pegboard, meaning you can hang more safely and securely. The kit includes two galvanized pegboard panels (32 square inches of coverage), a shelf, three plastic bins with bin hanger, a screwdriver holder, a hammer holder, 15 assorted hooks and brackets, and mounting hardware and instructions; $55.99 at Amazon.
An instant garage attic for storing those items that don’t get used often, the Ceiling Mount Storage Rack from NewAge Products mounts into studs (either directly or through drywall) and measures four feet wide by eight feet long; $106.99 at Amazon.
