As winter starts rolling in, you may find your garage becoming overfilled with items in storage. It all starts with winterizing your yard. Playground equipment, patio furniture, and gardening tools all need to be broken down and prepped for the colder months, when you won't be using those items. And where else can you store them but your garage? So now, your garage is overflowing with items and equipment that you won't be using until the snow melts and spring returns to the world. And now, your car is out on the street. But nobody wants to park outside in winter; scraping windows is zero fun. So how can you store all of that stuff in your garage without submitting your car to the snow and the ice? Here is some basic advice, and if you need some real professional help, speak to Salt Lake garage organizers. Prepare in Advance First and foremost, if you want your garage to be organized in winter, you need to start getting it ready well before the cold weather creeps in. It's much easier to organize and install shelving and storage when you have fewer items in the garage. Once all of those bins get stacked up in your garage, you're less likely to take the effort to get it organized. One thing you can do to prepare in advance is to go through the items that you are currently storing in the garage and clean out any items you don't need. This will help to clear space for the items you will need to store in winter. It is also helpful to create designated spaces for your winter storage. That means not crowding every last shelf with storage items in the summer, but leaving a designated space where items will go when you bring them inside for the winter months. Add Shelving Stacking items against walls is not only an ineffective and unorganized way to store items, but it can also be hazardous. Tall stacks of bins can tumble when you try to access your items, and your personal items can be damaged if they're not stored properly. Instead, try adding some shelves to your garage. If you don't have room to do floor-to-ceiling shelves, you can always do some shelves higher on the wall so that you can add effective storage without taking up floor space. These shelves can allow you to organize your items more effectively, not only making it easier to find things, but making it easier to access them as well. Add Overhead Storage The items you store in winter don't need to be used for several months at a time. This means that you don't necessarily need them to be easily accessible, making overhead storage a great option for these items. These storage racks take advantage of your garage's tall ceilings and turns that empty overhead space into effective storage space. You can get racks made specifically to hold plastic bins of items, or you can just have overhead shelving built to accommodate items of virtually any shape or size. When spring comes back around, you can grab a ladder and pull those items down to be used throughout the warmer months. All of these storage tricks are best implemented with the help of professional Salt Lake garage organizers. Looks for service providers in your area who are willing to come to your home and design a storage system that suits your needs and your budget. They can not only help you to install shelving and overhead storage, but they can give you helpful organizational advice to ensure that you are using the storage space effectively.
