The HandiWall Garage Storage Rack Is Ideal For Heavy Duty Applications

In Desperate Need Of A Garage Storage Rack

The garage storage rack represents a simple way to clear away clutter in an area that many home owners use as generalized dumping ground for things they can’t find a place for. This is, of course, actually more conceptually flawed than sweeping dirt under a rug, as the garage is a space that is utilized on a daily basis. It’s estimated that nearly a quarter of Americans don’t have enough space to park their cars in the garage. An astounding figure that may perhaps seem strongly suggestive of a slothful national culture. The funny thing is, organizing a garage doesn’t take all that much to do. With a little cash and some elbow grease, you’ll find that getting and installing a garage storage rack (or racks) in your garage is as simple as can be.

Different Types Of Garage Storage Racks

Now, I’m using the term ‘garage storage rack’ in an inclusive sense, one that includes that most elegantly simple of all racking tools, the shelving system. You can have shelving built onto your garage walls, or have it in movable garage storage cabinets that allow you to easily move your things around the space. Such cabinets can be used as modular islands that you can fit together to create a carpentry bench, pottery station or whatever other form of workstation you please.

Looking At Garage Storage Rack Safety

  • While such modular arrangements can be great due to the flexibility they afford you, they’re inherently unstable.

  • This could lead to them being dangerous for children should they ever try to mount them or push them around - and, without question, metal storage cabinets tipping over and trapping a child is a nightmare no parent wants to experience.

  • A much better arrangement is to have cantilevered shelving installed.

  • You can actually build cantilevered shelving suitable for just about any residential application using nothing but spruce one-by-four boards, some nails, and some L-brackets.

Stainless Steel Garage Storage Racks

For more heavy duty applications, you’re going to want to shop for a proper stainless steel garage rack, a rack capable of supporting things like, say, bicycles.

The MonsterRax

The MonsterRax overhead garage storage system allows you to do just that, raising a platform connected by ropes to four pulley-wheels on the ceiling by simply turning a winch. You can get purpose-built racking systems for bicycles and golf-club kits that fit securely onto these platforms, allowing you to eliminate the clutter of wheels, handle-bars and nine-irons that impedes your route from the door of your car to your living room.

HandiWall

But perhaps the best heavy duty residential garage storage rack you’re likely to find will be that provided by HandiWall. Handiwall’s ladder of metal planks, which fit close together, is designed to bolt securely to your wall, allowing you to attach hooks, bins and jars that attach between the ‘planks’. These will help you to rack your tools and accessories in an obvious, visible fashion, so that you’ll always be able to find what you need in just a few seconds. You can try combining this system with plastic wall hangings with pockets, which let you hang things like silicone applicators and paint tins with great levels of visibility, too.
