Furniture brackets
Many dacha owners use the garage to store folding outdoor furniture. So that it does not stand in the corners and do not take up much space, make a vertical rack for it with wooden or metal brackets and screw it to one of the free walls.
Bolts, nuts, nails, screws and other small things do not take up much space, but it is extremely inconvenient to store them in a mixed form. Jars with lids screwed to the bottom of a hinged cabinet or under a desk top will help keep these things in order.
Organizing space in the garage is as important a part of its arrangement as insulation, trim and protection from intruders. This room always serves as a workshop and storage room, where they keep tools, gardening and construction equipment, travel and fishing equipment, dacha supplies for the winter.

What materials are used
It all depends on where and how you are going to place. If you are planning to build a large shelving unit for storing heavy objects (such as tires), then it will be optimal to use a steel construction. It can take any weight perfectly and will not lose its characteristics even when permanently exposed to damp or chemically active substances.
Aluminum is also good for less heavy objects. It can not cope as well with the weight loadings as steel, but it is fireproof and not afraid of moisture.
Of course, wood has fewer advantages compared to metal: easily spoiled, can swell with time or, conversely, dry out. But if you carry out a competent treatment of it, then such shelves will last long enough in the garage, and you will not have to complain about them.
Two nuances that everyone should be aware of:
- To preserve the operational characteristics of the metal used before installation should be galvanized or treated with polymer paint so you protect the material from premature aging and corrosion;
- If you are dealing with wood, then an obligatory point is the antiseptic treatment, which allows you to create a strong protective layer in case of direct contact with chemically active substances and to prevent fungus.
arranging the space
That little space that is in the garage with a standing car in it, you need to use the full, involving not only the floor and walls, but also the ceiling. Especially if the room is used not only as a parking lot.
Work table
Any garage self-made requires equipped space for the manufacture, so the first thing to establish a working table. a workbench. This element of the “furnishing” of any utility room, which is never redundant.
The minimum depth of the workbench table top is 60 cm, and the length can be any depending on the size of the garage and the needs of its owner. If the room has a sufficient width, the workbench is better placed along the side wall, and in a narrow and long garage. along the back, or make it a corner.
The design of the workbench is better to think through on your own and on site, to take into account all the available nuances. It can be just a work surface. stationary, hinged or folding. Or a full working table with shelves, drawers, shelves.
On the upper plane of the frame you can put a thick sheet of plywood and, if necessary, clad it with sheet iron.
Storage systems for tools
The most necessary homemade items in the garage are various racks and holders that help organize the convenient storage of tools and work materials. You can start with the equipment of a workbench.
Under him on the right side it is good to make shelves for storing the necessary small things, and for convenience install in them plywood boxes or strong plastic containers with thick walls. They can perfectly replace canisters from under the engine oil or other automotive liquids with a handle located in the upper part. They need to have one wide side wall cut out and put on the shelves with the handle outward.
Useful homemade crafts for the garage can also be made from scraps of plastic pipes of different diameters. For example, if you drill a series of through holes with a thick drill bit in a small-section water pipe and fix it to the wall on clips, such a homemade holder can store screwdrivers.
Thick-wall sewer pipes are more suitable for workbench equipment. In their short sections are sawed out with a jigsaw grooves and fastened under the tabletop as holders for electric and cordless tools. jigsaws, screwdrivers, drills.
For storage of hand tools is best to use the plane of the wall above the workplace. To replace store peorized panels with hooks and holders with success can be simple homemade in a private garage:
One of the main problems of the home craftsman is the careful storage of nails, self-tapping screws, drills, washers, and other small items. Under them, you can adapt transparent plastic containers or cans with a screw cap. So they do not take up space on the shelves, the lids are screwed to their lower plane.
Storing spare tires
Every car owner faces the problem of storing wheels during the seasonal change. There are many different shelves and brackets for this purpose in stores, but with a very inhumane price tag. Such devices for the garage have a simple design, which is not difficult to repeat and make their own hands.
What to do depends on whether you change the whole wheel and rims or just the tires. It is undesirable to put the wheels on the rib, they are stored lying down or suspended. And vice versa. tires without rims should be placed on special shelves.
To save space on the floor with a pile of stacked tires, it is better to hang tires and rims on the wall.
For “empty” tires make special brackets that resemble a shelf frame. The ideal material for their manufacture. a profile tube of small cross section or a metal angle. Connect them by welding or bolting. The bolt connection allows you to make the shelf foldable.
The length of the shelf is chosen according to the number of wheels, with a small margin for easy stowage. And the depth is less than their diameter, otherwise they will simply fail down. It is very important to find a place for this homemade for home and garage, where the sunlight does not fall, from prolonged exposure to which the rubber deteriorates.

For hammers, two pins are put next to it, and it is hooked to the “head”. Pliers, pliers similar tools are hooked by the place of the vault of the handles.
To store drills, screwdrivers, and other small things put shelves. Many commercially available panels have stands “out of the box”. If you make it yourself. you can screw it on self-tapping screws.
