Find Ceiling Storage Solutions Here at FlexiMounts

Gone are the days that garages are just used to park family vehicles. In fact, in the United States, more homeowners aren’t able to use their garages as a car storage area and instead use their driveways. This is because many have started using the garage to store items that aren’t used every day. Some garages have even taken the function of basements or attics—probably because it is more accessible and spacious than the other two areas. Because of this, floor space in the garage is even more coveted. Aside from wanting to park the car in the garage to serve its primary purpose, homeowners also want to be able to maximize the garage’s storing capabilities. This can only be done by making use of other free areas such as the ceiling or the walls.
