Garage Storage Options

[n30_mkii]

The house I'm renovating has a 2.5m x 5.5m garage which I would like to make as functional as possible. I'm ideally looking for good quality racking that I can use for storage, but then also somehow incorporate some workspace to do maintenance on, i.e soldering, crafts etc.

Last thing I need is a good way to store four bikes four in total so they're accessible but also using as little space as possible.

I'm sure a few of you will have done a kit out previously, so just looking for advice and ideas

Thanks

steadyrack for bike storage, not cheap, but very good.

I got a heavy duty rack/shelve system from machine mart and bought a load of boxes from ikea and wrote on them what is in them.

Refit your kitchen. Its right of passage the old kitchen gets retrofitted to the garage. That's my plan anyway

I was just about to say the same thing.

Bikes are annoying to store..they just have that awkward handlebar/front wheel issue.

I removed my front wheel so I could swivel the handlebars 90 degrees flat against the wall.

We have one of these in our gym. If the walls are sound then you could make the same a lot easier in effect
But this works really well and they don't take up much space.

Found a photo of my garage that covers shelf racking, old kitchen reuse, and (just about) bike storage.

The shelves were from Screwfix, about £70 per unit I believe and we got three. Very happy with them.

For the bikes you probably can't make it out, but I just got some basic bike wall mounts from Amazon, black metal bar style. They're cheap and functional but it takes a bit of manoeuvring to get two on one mount.

I got some cheap big metal hooks which i use to put my bike up on the wall of my garage

This is the only pic i have kind of showing it unfortunately

For shelving, i've got 1 kit of cheapo 3x cheapo metal and MDF racking off ebay, 1x plastic racking some somewhere and then one fully metal one from B&Q, tbf they've all been really good but the plastic one is probably the most rugged feeling and also the cheapest.

I used one of the ebay ones in half for a work place for my computer, it's fine for that but i wouldn't want to use it as a serios work bench, it'd be ok for crafting but no good if you want to strip a gearbox. I made a proper work bench out of an solid ash table.
