I have recently found myself fascinated with garage organizing. It’s therapeutic to sort, arrange and clean my two-car garage space, though I can firmly say that I can’t still Marie Kondo my way to cleaning as a self-proclaimed maximalist. I have a terrible habit–yes, I admit to some degree–of hoarding things, pretty things I don’t use. Whenever I’m out to do grocery shopping, I take a side trip to the bookstores and get my hands on books, which I will not flip through the pages until I have finished all the piles of books waiting to be read. Or when I’m feeling blue, I head towards the arts and crafts section to buy paints, pencils, markers, craft papers, canvases, and the like. But you know I will not even touch it as I only make art when I do not have anything to watch on Netflix. Or browse through online shops and check out items like clothes and bags I do not wear and use nowadays because staying indoors is the most feasible option not to get the virus.On top of these, I still have all the gifts my friends and family gave me for the past decades, old stuff stemming from my childhood I could not just let go of. So, yes, I’m a certified sentimental maximalist.And I admit that I can’t shake off the habit of collecting and hoarding overnight, but as I would always say, there’s such a concept of organized chaos. I made that up, of course, to justify my being a hoarder. But let me also say that the best way to keep my garage clean and organized despite the much stuff accumulating in the space is to install reliable garage storage. They have been my go-to garage accessories. Now, I need not worry about how my things can get messed up with my other mementos. I categorize them, put them in specific boxes, label them accordingly and place them in overhead storages and wall shelves. Problem solved!So, I will let you in on my not-so-little secret. Here’s the list of the ever-dependable storage I use.
This ceiling storage lift can be raised and lowered by crank or power drill, which lets you access with ease all the materials stored high above the garage floor without using a ladder. This mechanism allows you to protect yourself from potential accidents brought about by climbing a ladder or heavy lifting. You need not worry about the storage lift loosening when not in use because it has a specially designed safety lock that prevents any movement. And it is so simple to use. Just use the winding pole to pull out the safety lock on the gearbox, then push back in to lock after use. Also, its construction is built to last with heavy gauge steel, premium hardware, and top-quality parts and can carry up to 300lbs. Moreover, it is compatible with different ceiling joists of both wood and concrete ceilings and has adjustable length steel cable, which allows it to be installed on angled ceilings.
This overhead storage system is tested to be durable and heavy-duty. You need not worry about the safety of your stuff as it provides much-needed support. This is due to the integrated wire grid design and frame that are welded together. Thus, making the unit more sturdy and stable. It can carry a weight of up to 600 lbs, because of its heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel construction. Moreover, the Fleximount storage rack has thicker screws compared to other products. The height of the rack can be adjusted from 22” to 40”, providing a convenient and safe place to store your stuff. The water damage in your items and the rack is far-fetched due to its waterproof characteristics. On top of these amazing qualities, one need not be skilled in construction and mechanics as the integrated grid design is made easier for assembly. Even non-mechanical people can easily understand and assemble the storage rack.
This wall shelving maximizes the use of the corner wall, which saves more ceiling space. What’s even good about this is that you can either use it as a corner shelf or a 2-pack wall shelf. Its one-piece integrated grid design is made for easier assembly and is more stable than others with multi-piece assembly. Moreover, it can be installed by one person with all the hardware included in the package. An installation template is also provided that helps mount holes and has a bubble level that helps get perfect horizontal location. The buckle design with Velcro prevents the brackets from falling or bending, making it more stable and sturdy. The heavy-gauge steel construction provides safety loading up to 440lbs total. This also makes it suitable for securing either wall studs or solid concrete walls.
