The garage is often a point of contention in families. While its primary purpose is to protect your cars, it's also a great place to store things you don't use on a regular basis or things you use outdoors.

You can use a combination of wall storage, overhead storage and cabinets to make the most of your garage space. The following are some great ideas for keeping your garage functional.

Heavy duty metal cabinets are sold for specific purposes - some contain shelving designed to hold or sort tools, others open up into work tables.

Overhead storage is another great way to store larger things like bicycles and boxes of winter or summer clothing and sporting or camping equipment. If you have a little more space on your garage, there are also wall bike racks available in most home renovation stores.

Rolling storage cabinets are also great for working on the car or building something in the garage as you don't have to carry your tools around, they roll easily along beside you.

Let me know what kind of storage you're looking for and I'll do my best to find you your dream garage.
