Organize Your Tools and Optimize Your Space with Garage Slatwall Accessories

How Garage Slatwall Revolutionalizes Garage Organization

One common approach to organizing a garage often includes cabinets, shelves, and perhaps a workbench. These are all excellent tools to use to get items off of the floor and into a good organization system. However, garage slatwall offers a fresh perspective on how we use wall space. While shelves and cabinets are mounted to the wall, they don’t actually maximize the full use of the wall space. That’s where slatwall racks come in.

Overlooking the walls as potential storage space can really leave you short when it comes to keeping all of your belongings both handy and out of the way. A wide variety of accessories can snap or slide into place – allowing you to store just about anything… which we’ll go into in a moment. 

Having what you need precisely where you need it is the beauty of this type of garage organization system. You can store your hand tools directly next to or above your workbench. Your hardware can all be categorized and stored in one section of one wall – eliminating the task of hunting through workbench drawers for the type of screw you need at the moment you need it. You’ll love having the ability to store items where they’re used and needed.

Types of Items You Can Store on Garage Slatwall

There are so many items that can be stored on your garage slatwall racks that it would take more than the scope of this article to explain them all. Still, I’ll give you a solid rundown of possibilities:

• Hand tools, like wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers
• Power tools, such as drills and saws
• Shovels, rakes, mops, and other long-handled tools
• Gardening supplies, like pots, watering cans, hand trowels, and gardening gloves
• Bicycles
• Sporting gear, such as tennis rackets, golf clubs, and helmets
• Automotive accessories, including car care products, cleaning supplies, and even tires
• Extension cords and cables
• Fishing gear, such as fishing rods and tackle boxes
• Hardware, like nails, screws, and bolts

In short, if you store it in your garage, chances are great there’s an accessory that will allow you to store it on your slatwall system.

Why Slatwall Systems are Customizable

Like all aspects of a garage, I’ve found my clients are happiest when their storage systems are completely customizable. With slatwall racks, you will get the level of versatility you’re looking for in a solid product. 

One way slatwall is customizable is due to the variety of accessories you can add to it. As described above, you can choose to store anything you’d like; each person has different preferences in terms of what they store in their garages, so there aren’t standardized or required accessories. You can pick the ones that will work with your needs, and you can also create zones based on what you’re storing where. Morganize With Me offers some tips on how to organize a garage with zones.

The slatwall itself is also modular; you can add panels as desired (as long as there’s the wall space to do so). You might start with a smaller slatwall section of your garage and then later decide to have the system installed on each wall. It’s up to you. This allows you to scale your garage to your needs over time.

Conclusion

Organizing your garage is easier when you have the right tools. I recommend garage slatwall to most of my clients, as it provides more versatility and better access to items than you’d have without it. It’s also a great accompaniment to the typical garage cabinets and shelves. Talk to a member of my design team to learn more about the options available.
