Life hacking for the garage: tips and interesting ideas

The ideal garage is not just an alternative to an open park, but also a place to store tools or garden tools, and, of course, the territory where real men rest. And this is not utopia, because everyone can arrange the space in such a way that everything listed above can fit in it. All that is needed for this is knowledge of useful life hacking for the garage and the ability to create things with your own hands.

Tidying up the garage space begins with a global change. The first thing you need to divide the space into separate zones and deal with each of them separately. You can free up space for tables, shelves, or other large items at once in several ways.

• Plywood panels for vertical storage. If you drill a few different holes in ordinary plywood, then you can store tools in them: screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, etc.d.
• Perforated panel. If you want everything to be organized more beautifully and neatly, then you should choose a perforated panel. For a little money you can get a unique board with a set of hooks and trays, in which it is very convenient to store all those little things that are so often lost in the surrounding chaos.

• Containers of pipes. Larger tools, such as garden tools, can be stored in specially cut PVC pipes. To create a convenient and multifunctional container, it is enough to simply cut the pipe into several equal pieces and fix them on the wall. Depending on the diameter, several tools will fit in one pipe at once.
• Another useful life hack going as a separate item is - use of multifunctional things. A table in the garage can be simultaneously used as a stand or chair, and the observation pit can be equipped with shelves in niches. Convenient and folding design, for example, tabletop on hinges, which is easy to remove in one motion.

After the space has become visually cleaner and more spacious, you can begin to organize the storage space for all sorts of small things. Here are some interesting ideas that are worth taking note of car owners and craftsmen.

If you have enough enthusiasm, you can even hang a few baskets in a row to sort the garbage.

• Storage of garbage bags. There is an unusual life hacking and for storing garbage bags. So that they are always at hand, you can hang them on fasteners for paper towels. This solution, which is not obvious at first glance, will facilitate the cleaning process.
• Suspended cans. In addition to the magnetic holder, cans with unscrewed lids can be used to store the necessary details in the work. The covers are attached to the bottom of the shelves, and in the banks themselves, self-tapping screws, nails, screws, etc. are laid out. So the containers do not occupy free space on the shelves, and, at the same time, still remain freely available.

• Forms for cupcakes. Another unobvious thing that can be found in the garage of a creative car enthusiast is cake molds. Here they are used not for their intended purpose, but all for the same storage of small nuts, fasteners and screws. This is convenient because you can put fasteners of different sizes in each mold, sorting them in this way.
• Container for tapes. Insulating tape is another thing that should always be at hand. So that no skein is lost, you can knock a simple container out of the boards for storage. It is most convenient to put each tape in a special compartment.
