In a garage the job is getting bins, tools and gear up off the floor without crowding the car or the garage door. Tell us whether the garage is a one-car or two-car space, whether you park inside, and whether the door has an opener. Mention anything already on the walls, such as a pegboard, a freezer outlet or a water line.
Keeping garage shelving clear of the door track and opener
When a sectional garage door opens, it rolls up and back along tracks that run from the sides of the opening toward the back of the garage near the ceiling. The opener hangs from the ceiling in the middle. Shelving on the side walls is set low enough that the tracks and the open door pass above it, and nothing goes in the path the door travels.
The wall on each side of the opening holds the door hardware, so shelving starts far enough back to leave the tracks and that hardware open to reach. If the door or the opener itself needs work, that is a separate service we also offer in Caryville.
Wall by wall
Where shelving fits on each garage wall
Each wall of a garage has something different in front of it, so each gets its own plan.
The back wall
The wall across from the door can take shelves from low to high.
The side walls
Shelves along the sides are kept shallow enough that the car doors still open, and on the driver's side there may be none.
Beside the house door
The wall by the steps into the house suits a short run for shoes, bags and things you grab on the way out.
Near a water heater or panel
If the garage holds a water heater or an electrical panel, the shelving stops short of it so it stays easy to reach.
Car and garage
One-car and two-car garage layouts
How many cars park inside decides how much floor the shelving can take.
A one-car garage with a car in it
The back wall carries most of the storage, and the path past the car is kept open.
A two-car garage with both bays used
The back wall and the outer side walls take shelving. The strip between the cars stays open.
A garage with no car inside
Every wall can be shelved, with a clear walking path from the house door to the garage door.
A garage that is also a workshop
Shelving goes above and beside the workbench, with the bench top kept clear to work on and the tools used most on the shelf just over it.
Leaving garage wall space for long and bulky things
Not everything in a garage belongs on a shelf. Ladders, rakes, shovels, fishing rods and lumber are long and narrow, and a stretch of bare wall or a corner left open suits them better than a shelf they would hang off. Decide where those will lean before the shelving is planned, so the shelves do not take the only open corner.
Bikes, a lawn mower and a wheelbarrow need floor space in front of the shelving, not under it. Keep the lowest shelf high enough, or the run short enough, that they can still roll in and out.
What it holds
Matching each garage shelf to its load
Shelf depth and the gap between levels come from what you plan to store, not from a standard layout.
Storage totes
Lidded totes need deep shelves and enough height between levels to slide a tote out without lifting the one above.
Paint and garden bottles
Cans and bottles sit on a lower, shallower shelf where the labels face out.
Tool cases
Power tool cases are heavy for their size, so they go on the lowest shelf.
Seasonal gear
Decorations and camping gear used once or twice a year go on the top shelf, out of the way.
Sports equipment
Balls, helmets and gloves fit in bins on a middle shelf where children can reach them.
Yard and outdoor gear
Garage shelving for yard, pool and car supplies
Outdoor gear comes in awkward shapes, and each kind has a better spot than whichever shelf is empty.
Lawn and garden
Bags of soil and fertilizer stay on the floor at the end of a run, with hand tools, gloves and sprayers on the shelf above them.
Pool and beach gear
Floats and noodles stand in a tall bin on the floor, and towels, goggles and sunscreen go on a shelf at arm height near the door you carry them out through.
Car supplies
Oil, washer fluid, wax and sponges go on a shelf near the front of the car, where they are used, with the heavy jugs on the level closest to the floor.
Coolers
Coolers sit on the floor under the lowest shelf, where they slide out without lifting.
Grill supplies
Charcoal, lighter fluid and grill tools go on a shelf near the door the grill rolls out through.
Outdoor toys
Chalk, bubbles and water guns share one bin on a shelf by the door to the yard.
Using the garage as a second pantry
A garage shelf can hold cases of paper towels, bottled water and canned goods that do not fit in the kitchen pantry. Keep them together on one run so it works like a second pantry, and on the side of the garage away from gas cans, paint and lawn chemicals. A shallow shelf suits cans in a single row, and a deeper one below suits the cases.
The house
Closets, pantry and laundry room with the garage
The garage can be quoted by itself, or on one quote with every other room that needs shelving.
Closets
Reach-in and walk-in closets, set up with shelves and rods for what hangs and what folds.
Pantry
Levels spaced for the cans, boxes and appliances you keep.
Laundry room
A shelf over the washer and dryer and a rail for hanging clothes. If the washer and dryer sit in the garage, that wall is planned with the rest of it.
Utility and storage rooms
Shelving on the walls that the equipment in the room does not need.
