I never knew how many kinds of hooks were actually out there....until this garage project!  Clip hooks, screw hooks, peg hooks, ladder hooks, fish hooks, and even t.u.hooks!  You name it.
One of the main goals of my clients was to optimize their garage space, so they could park their car inside and still have room to get out of it.  In order to create more space on the floor, we had to get everything OFF the floor. The best way to do that?  Hook it!
We began by taking everything out, tossing unwanted items and old equipment as we went, and then categorized what we had left into piles on the lawn.  Sorry nosy neighbors and HOA!  After a good pressure washing, we had a great blank canvas.
We designated the right wall for large yard tools and equipment.  Using a customizable system from Lowe's, we were able to install the perfect solution that saves floor space and make tools more accessible.
For the smaller tools and gadgets, we purchased a peg board (only $15 at Lowe's) and cut out slots for the breaker box and outlets with a jig saw.  Thanks Joe!  We also picked up a package of assorted peg board accessories, AKA hooks.  There is some rhyme and reason to what hangs where. For instance, garden tools hang on the left and common tools hang on the right.  Make sure your peg board is large enough so items don't get cluttered and difficult to find.
Some other things we hung include a pair of ladders and a bike. It is amazing how much space you save and even how visually appealing things are when hung on those white walls.  It's like wall art for you garage!!
