The storage battle is sometimes a challenge, especially if you’ve added something like new outdoor furniture or have leftovers from a summer renovation project. For example, the garage, basement and attic are seasonal storage solutions
Garages are great for expanding your home’s storage space, but not all household items are suitable for garage storage. Some ideas where we can save some things in the garage:
- car supplies
If you have a car, it probably spends a lot of time in your garage or parked nearby. So it makes sense to store the items you use for your car, including windshield washer fluid and tire inflators, in your garage. The garage is also a good place for items you often carry in or on your car, like a roof rack or camping gear.
- garden and yard tools
The garage is the ideal home for tools and appliances that you only use outdoors. Think shovels, hoses, outdoor extension cords, lawn mowers, garden tools, flower pots, and more.
- outdoor toys
Any product made for outdoor entertaining can withstand the elements, so it’s generally okay to store it in the garage when not in use. This includes children’s toys, swimming pool accessories, bicycles and garden furniture.
What not to keep in your garage?
Items you shouldn’t store in your garage fall are certain hazardous materials, items that will attract pests, and delicate items.
Dangerous materials
It is important to mention that always beware of flammable or hazardous materials. For example, keep propane tanks, which can leak and catch fire, out of the garage (and other enclosed spaces). Instead, store them outside in a well-ventilated area.
