How to arrange a garage?
Spring is just around the corner. And with the onset of warmer days, it also comes cleaning time - refreshment will be required not only for the house, garden, but also for the car and garage. A garage is usually a place to store a car, but also a workshop and utility room, which should fit all the necessary tools and accessories. However, how do you organize your garage space to fit everything? We advise!
Practical and ergonomic
When arranging or rebuilding a garage, we will take into account especially usability and ergonomics. Caring for an attractive appearance is not the most important thing in this room. We can replace professional furniture for a few thousand PLN with cheaper analogues - if we belong to the so-called "Skillful fingers"DIY workshop shelves should not be a problem for us. We will look for inspiration on the Internet and trade magazines - a very practical shelf can be welded from several metal profiles, and an inexpensive OSB board can be used as the base of the shelves. If we decide to buy furniture, we will look for modular garage cabinets, which cost about PLN 200 - 300 per unit. Usually a few of these cabinets are enough to fill the space in the garage. Remember that chipboard shelves may not work in garage conditions, as they will come into contact with moisture and temperature extremes. What else will be useful for arranging the garage and organizing it? Hooks, hangers, baskets on the walls (Great thing - all the items to hang high on the wall, especially those things that we do not use every day - the garage is usually higher than other rooms).
Comfortable place to work
How to arrange a workplace in a garage? Create a small workshop? Of course the DIY desk is the focal point. It should be big enough to be comfortable in, depending on the work we plan to do with it. If our hobby is a small job, like soldering, a small table will do. However, if we need to install larger equipment on it, such as a saw for wood, a vise, etc., we must plan a work surface large enough to easily accommodate everything we need. Of course, the size of our garage can be a limitation. Therefore, it is worth considering a folding table. Thus, after the end of the work, we will have to remove all the trash and put it on the shelves. By folding the table, we can easily park the car in the garage. What should you make a table with your own hands? Preferably metal or wood. Plywood, for example, 20mm thick would also be a good idea. There are also convertible garage cabinets on the market.
Tools in the garage
There are things that, regardless of hobbies or interests, should always be in our garage. I am talking here, for example, about Fr. vise, solid jack, screwdriver, flat wrenches, socket wrenches, or lubricating spray... A useful but space-consuming tool there will be a compressor... This versatile device will not only help you inflate tires in your car, but with the appropriate accessories will allow you to unscrew difficult-to-move screws or paint walls. When it comes to storing tools, seldom-used ones should be placed on shelves set high, and those we turn to more often should be close at hand. A great way to put wrenches and screwdrivers is tool board with special tags, hooks, hangers, screw containers. This, contrary to its appearance, is not an expensive pleasure - you can buy a set of boards with tags for 150-200 zł.
Garage lighting
No matter how how to equip your garage and how to arrange shelves and racks, first of all you need to think about good interior lighting... This is especially true for the lighting of the places where we will be working. In addition to basic ceiling-mounted luminaires, they can be practical. wall-mounted sconces that can be placed in multiple locations along the entire length of the room... In addition to the usual lamps used every day, they will come in very handy. torches and lamps for workshops... Choosing a model for a garage, let's decide on durable and branded equipment to serve us as long as possible and be shockproof. Professional workshop lights are designed for do-it-yourself enthusiasts who can do everything from drilling holes in wood to repairing cars. For all types of workshop and garage activities, a workshop flashlight with easy installation in various locations is an excellent choice. - for example, when repairing a car. Philips LED work light with charging function would be a good choice - it is impact resistant and great for maintenance. Impact resistant and adjustable head with LED light source guarantees perfect illumination even in hard-to-reach places.
