Unused items, old clothing, and Christmas decorations often end up taking up too much space in your garage, even if they are crammed into plastic totes.

If your family is active, especially during the cold season, you’ll need storage space in the garage. Sports equipment takes up a lot of space, so it’s better to build a structure in which to store it.

This storage system can be placed in a corner of your garage in the winter or close to the pool in the summer. It can be used as storage for pool toys and towels. As pool equipment is often cumbersome, it will now have its own place in the garage.
19. Swing-out storage for the garage
Some items stored in the garage are more cumbersome than others. This swing-out storage unit has been designed to store sheets of wood or other types of large items.
The system works like a file folder. A galvanized tube attaches the container to the wall. Attach wheels under the container so that it can be swung out from the wall when needed.
