A clutter-free garage tops the list of projects this fall season. Scouring through the myriad of items lying on the floor, accumulating dust and dirt, made us realize that it is time to let go of the things that we do not see purpose anymore and hopefully save those that we might need soon. We do not have the luxury of completely transforming the garage space into storage space as our cars needed that space as parking. Winter is coming soon, too, so we need to protect our vehicles from heavy snowfall–and the area that will accommodate this need is the garage. This means that the available floor space is already occupied by the car. Then, where do the miscellaneous items in the garage fit to be stored and at the same time keep them organized? The ceiling space, of course!And the most fitting to use is the overhead garage storage racks. Not only are these durable, which can carry loads of things, and you need not worry that anytime the racks will fall off, but they also help in organizing the items in your garage.
