But in order for the conditions to be comfortable, it is necessary to bring the interior of the garage into proper form, arrange and disassemble all spare parts and tools and at the same time keep a free area for the car.

Why do you want to use a garage other than storing your car

You have a garage, initially it's just an empty space in the form of a large room.

You must repair the walls and floor, then plan the garage, think through all the necessary racks and shelves.


If you use the garage as a workshop, think about installing a workbench.

The workbench should be comfortable and durable for work.

Where to put it, if the garage has one exit, the workbench can be put at the opposite wall from the entrance, so you have a lot of free space.

But if the garage has two exits, establish a workbench at any lateral wall.

Next, consider installing the tool shelves and spare parts.

Shelves can serve as shelves, shelves can be bought ready.

Spending a certain amount of time, having decided on the type and cost, and for example, cost of metal racks in Krasnoyarsk   you can find out on a specialized website - you will purchase very important equipment for your garage.

In order to fire safety, install a fireproof metal cabinet - it will store flammable products.

The cabinet can be purchased not only in a rectangular shape but also in a corner.

How to make racks and shelves for your own garage

Our craftsmen came up with many ways to manufacture shelves and racks for their garage.


One of the main ways is to make a rack from a metal corner.

This requires a welding machine and welder skills.

For convenience, the rack should not be higher than the owner's height, because if the rack is very high, you will have to use a stepladder, and this is traumatic and the "dead zone" of the rack is obtained.

Measuring the height of the future rack, decide how long the rack will be.

Depending on the size, the struts and horizontal bridges are cut, all of which are welded together.

So that there are no deflections from the load on long sections, install additional metal racks.

Shelves can be made of a board, chipboard or metal.

You will get a solid construction, but very heavy.

Think about the question of attaching this design to the floor and the wall of the garage.

The second way - if the garage has a sturdy ceiling - you can make hanging shelves.

For such shelves, a cable is attached to the ceiling in the form of a hinge, hinged shelves are placed on the hinges to prevent the swinging of such shelves, fixing the hinged structure with the help of a piece of pipe.

This design seems to be fragile, but the shelves are capable of holding loads of hundreds of kilograms.

The next method is to attach the shelves to the wall using brackets or a wire loop.

Brackets are purchased ready or cooked from the corner.

If you decide to make shelves on wire loops - get a strong wire, with the help of brackets, fix the hinges to the wall and lay the shelf in the received loops.

In addition to the above options, in specialized stores you can purchase special magnetic shields for the tool.

Such shields are very convenient, because before your eyes are located all the keys and various metal trifles.

Equipment for storing long parts and material

Garage for fans to do everything by themselves - a great field for imagination.

For example, if you have cardboard rolls made from linoleum or old cylindrical containers, you can store long pieces, slats, and corners in them.

In this case, for convenience, you can divide the inside into two or four parts.

For this purpose, two shelves from the board or chipboard are fixed crosswise in the center of the pin.

With the help of suspension brackets, such a shelf can be placed horizontally at any level and in your garage there will always be order.

How to make the elements of storage in the garage yourself, you can carefully study the photos and videos.

The main task is the high-quality fastening of your racks and lockers, as this is your safety and the integrity of your car.

Workbench in your garage

Own workbench in the garage - it's not a luxury, but a necessity.

A lot of problems can be solved on such a comfortable table.

Under the workbench, you can use an old, sturdy desk.

The table cover can be covered with a metal sheet, the table can be equipped with open shelves, it is good to have several drawers for metal trifles.

Basically, the master craftsmen make their own workbenches from metal, they get a solid and long-lasting construction, it will serve for a long time not one generation.
