Fall brings a shift in the air. It's that time when the world slows down to let us catch up. And what better way to take advantage of this season than by giving your garage the attention it deserves? The crisp weather is perfect for a weekend project: clearing out clutter and reorganizing for the months ahead. So, let's talk about storage systems that make this process less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

A well-organized garage can transform your home. The trick? Finding the right storage solutions that maximize your space while keeping things within easy reach. Before diving into new storage, remember to assess what you truly need to keep. There's a certain freedom in letting go of items that have outlived their usefulness. No more excuses of "I'll fix it one day," or "I might need this later." If it hasn't been used in the past year, it's time to part ways. After all, the goal is to create a space that not only functions efficiently but also sparks joy.

Once you've purged the excess, it's time to choose storage that works for you. Fleximounts offers a variety of options tailored to your needs. Let's explore some storage systems that can help you reclaim your garage this fall.

1. For Everyday Items: Fleximounts WRC24B Corner 2-Pack 2' x 4' Wall Shelving

One of the simplest ways to free up garage space is to utilize the walls. Wall shelving can be a game-changer, especially when designed to fit corners. The Fleximounts WRC24B Corner 2-Pack is a versatile solution that can function as either a corner shelf or a two-layered shelf, depending on your needs. This flexibility alone makes it an attractive option for any garage.

Built with powder-coated steel, the WRC24B is designed to hold up to 200 lbs per shelf, ensuring your items are stored safely. Unlike flimsy, wobbly shelves that leave you questioning whether your tools or decorations are secure, this sturdy shelving offers peace of mind. It's compatible with both wood studs and concrete walls, adding to its versatility.

The assembly process is a breeze, thanks to its one-piece grid design that offers excellent stability. And don't worry about getting everything level—Fleximounts includes all necessary hardware, a bubble level, and installation templates to make the setup smooth and precise. While one person can handle the installation, it's safer and quicker if done with a partner.

Looking to store more than just boxes? This wall shelf allows you to hang tools, sports equipment, and even bicycles by using hooks like the GRH1 or GRH2, which can be found in the Fleximounts catalog. By utilizing the walls efficiently, you free up valuable floor space, turning your garage into a more organized, functional area.
