Storage is a uniquely Southwestern dilemma, both because our homes generally don’t have basements and because of the intense heat, which frequently causes damage to items stored in outdoor storage structures such as sheds. Once we have had to frantically search through our camping gear for an outdoor extension cord, it’s easy to realize that we are forced, more than most of the rest of the country, to be a little more forward-thinking with our storage solutions. Garage storage helps solve the problem of mish-mashed storage organization by offering structured storage solutions.
THE HOLIDAYS
Nothing so clearly crystallizes the need for appropriate garage storage as do the holidays. Because the holidays spur the desire to find and use boxes of holiday decorations, many of us find ourselves digging through the lawn and gardening tools, camping equipment, and pool toys to get to those boxes of treasured baubles. Digging involves a rearrangement of the items to find the boxes in question. Then, the unwanted items have to be shoved back in their tiny space in the garage so the holiday decorating can commence.
THE EMPTY PROMISE
While digging through our possessions in the garage, we sometimes make a mental promise to ourselves that may involve cleaning out the garage, having a garage sale, or getting rid of the things we have collected in the garage that we no longer want or need. However, this presents a dilemma–it takes a certain amount of organization to accomplish any of those things. Organization requires space to sort, categorize, and store the things we do wish to keep. There is that deflating moment when one realizes one doesn’t have the necessary storage to manage their possessions.
HELP IS A CALL AWAY
There is no reason to allow discouragement to rule the day or the garage storage dilemma. There are storage solutions that are available and appropriate for all types of storage, whether the stored items are seasonal or whether they need to be on hand at all times. Overhead storage, for example, is an ideal solution for seasonal items since they can be safely up and out of the way during the time they aren’t needed. Storage cabinets are best for those items which are used periodically, but need to be tucked away from dust and prying eyes (or tiny fingers!) the rest of the time. Shelves and pegboards are best for those things which need to be readily available, visible, and very handy.
Garage storage is a permanent solution for keeping items in the garage organized. Once a family has garage storage, they are free of the cramping and safety issues that a lack of storage brings. They can find the holiday decorations, and anything else they want, without having to reorganize vast quantities of other possessions.
