Arranging your garage is a delicate task as, a lot of details need attention when arranging your garage. Where everything in your garage goes does not naturally come. There are items that you simply cannot get rid of and items that do not go anywhere else in the house except for the garage. These items are very difficult to deal with.

Bringing order to your garage begins with possessing the knowledge of the items in the garage, segregating them into respective groups and finally arranging them in the perfect order. The items in your garage can be segregated into five broad categories.
TOOLS
Tools are one of the items found in every garage. Tools can be easily misplaced and we end up having to replace the tools instead of actually looking for it. Tools include hammers, wrenches, tool boxes, nails and screws etc. Best way to arrange these tools are on a pegboard on the wall.

Other gardening supplies as hoses and soil may be stored on shelves within reach.
MACHINEEQUIPMENT
