The recent COVID-19 lockdown has inspired people to be more active with their hobbies and interests. From growing fruit and veg to remodelling the garden, the increase in spare time has provided the impetus for us all to get on with the things we have always meant to do. Many people are choosing to do more DIY. If you need some more space for this, we’ve provided a brief guide on how to turn your garage into a workshop. From garage storage shelves to flooring, we’ve covered what you need to know.

Garage Storage Shelves For Tool Storage

First and foremost, it’s important to install shelving solutions to ensure that you can store and organise the tools you require. Garage storage shelves are a low-cost and simple way to organise your garage workshop. By providing a place to organise the relevant tools and materials, you can create more floor space to work in.

Clean and Tidy The Garage

Once you have the facilities to store materials with garage storage shelves, you should clean and tidy your garage. Remove any potential trip hazards from the floor and organise materials into their relevant shelves. Labelling these shelves will make the organisation even easier down the line. Having a safe space to work in is essential for productivity.

Re-Wire Your Garage and Install Lights

If your garage has only been used for storage, you might be tempted to re-wire the space to make power sockets more accessible. This is a great idea to optimise your garage for DIY work. Similarly, if your garage has little lighting, invest in more lights to ensure you can always perform your work safely.

Choose Suitable Flooring

Finally, it’s important to choose a floor which will be easy to clean, hygienic and non-slip. Workshops can be hazardous, so always consider installing a new floor to improve safety.
