Garage & Utility Storage

Garages swallow what has no category. This system zones the space by frequency and weight — daily utility near the door, seasonal deep — and plans shelving from item dimensions, with the floor kept clear as a rule rather than a hope. If it has no zone, it is a decision waiting to be made, not storage.

Start-here checklist

  1. Zone by frequency: daily at the door, seasonal at the back
  2. Heaviest low, and nothing heavy overhead
  3. Shelving sized from the biggest item in each zone
  4. The floor is not a zone — if it is on the floor, it is undecided
