PODS® Northeast Wisconsin Shares How to Maximize your Garage for Fall Projects

APPLETON, Wis. - Sept. 27, 2024 - PRLog -- With fall approaching, it's the perfect time for homeowners to dive into DIY renovation projects. According to an Impulse Research Survey, 55% of Americans spend one to two hours each week in the garage doing hobbies and other activities. But to take on these projects effectively, having a clean and organized garage is crucial. Whether you're looking to create a workshop, store tools, or simply make room for new projects, PODS® Northeast Wisconsin offers practical solutions to help you maximize your garage space and get ready for fall projects.

Declutter first – Start by sorting through the items in your garage. Separate what you want to keep from what you can donate, sell, or dispose of. Eliminating unnecessary clutter will instantly create more space for you to tackle the next steps.

Utilize temporary storage – Consider renting a PODS® portable storage container to temporarily store items while you work on your garage. This will give you the freedom to move around and access all areas without obstacles.

Create a functional layout – Plan your garage layout to ensure you have designated spaces for tools, materials, and work areas. This will help you stay organized and focused during your renovation projects.

Group similar items together – Organize your garage by grouping similar items together, such as hand tools, power tools, and hardware. Keeping these items together makes it easier to find what you need and keep your new workspace tidy. Take your organization further by clearly labeling all storage bins and boxes.

Prioritize accessibility – Place frequently used tools and materials in easily accessible areas. Store seasonal items and rarely used equipment in a PODS® container. Skip the hassle by having a PODS® team member drive your container out to you so you can pack on your own schedule and keep it at your home or have it driven back to a secure PODS® facility.
