ERIE, Pa., June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to
the American Housing Survey, 80% of all homeowners in
the United States have either a
garage or a carport on their property. Organizing pros say
that only 30% of people store a car in the garage, mainly because
there's just too much stuff in the way.
If space is getting tight you can reclaim your garage with these
nine organizing hacks from Erie Insurance.
- Create more floor space. Simply nailing angled wooden
brackets to a wall is the perfect storage solution for lawn chairs
and more.
- Bungee the balls. Bungee cords can help corral all those
basketballs, soccer balls and more. Simply hook a few into sturdy
surfaces and place sports balls in a neat pile behind the
cords.
- Tool time. If your yard tools are all over the place,
try rolling up a PVC tube and placing some screws into the place
where the edges meet to create a tool slot.
- Easy organization. Use mason jars or any other glass
jars to stash nails and screws.
- Magnetic magic. Hang a magnetic strip on a wall and use
it to hold metal tools like scissors, screw drivers and more.
- Basket the beach stuff. Use a big basket to hold beach
gear like boogie boards and snorkeling gear. No more searching the
whole garage to find what you need.
- Wall appeal. An easy way to make your garage more
aesthetically pleasing is to apply inexpensive floor tiles to the
walls.
- Easy access. Horizontally nail a strong paper towel
holder into a wall. That will give you an easy way to neatly stash
your garbage bags.
- Haul away the extras. If you collected more unneeded
items than your regular trash pickup can handle, you can check
out Bagster. When your haul is ready, simply call the company
to schedule a pickup.
Check in with your local ERIE Agent to make sure your home
and garage (and everything stored in them) are properly
