It is a good idea to make sure to get the cabinets which are strong and reliable enough to store the equipment and household stuff your family needs to keep in the garage. You should always consider installing cabinets with shelves that are capable of storing heavy items as well as the small stuff, even though you might not have anything that heavy at the moment, it is a good bet you will soon. Properly installing the right garage cabinets for you and your family is as convenient as keeping your kitchen organized with the use of kitchen cabinets. With everything neat, tidy and in order, it also enables you to park your car inside, comfortably for a change. Staying dry and warm in cold and wet weather is its own reward!
"Flexibility and how well the storage solutions work" means simply "can the garage cabinets be configured so most people will find them useful?" If your cabinets are perfect for your woodworking hobby -- a workbench, places for lumber, pegboards for tools and the like -- how will someone with lots of gardening tools or painting materials value your garage? Make sure your investment in garage cabinets can be used by a broad range of other people. Otherwise the garage you view as an asset might be worthless, or even a liability, when it comes time to sell your property.
There are many options when it comes to garage storage and if you are looking for garage cabinets, then plastic cabinets are definitely an option if you are looking to save money but still have a nice look to your garage space. With the lower price point however, comes some problems that you will not find in say metal garage cabinets. When you look at the pros and cons of plastic garage cabinets, you will be able to see if they do not offer some things that you may be looking for in a storage solution, or if the price is low enough that you are willing to settle for what they offer.
The ceiling of your garage can be turned into a good garage storage option as well. These can hold your summer garden tools or stuff which are not safe to be in the reach of kids. The shelves and racks can be used for more frequently used items like wires, bulbs, tapes etc. The racks are usually useful for longer tools or things like shovels and rakes. These again are easy to put up and extremely useful and also cost effective and scores on the utility aspect too. A line of metal hooks in different sizes can also be used for hanging various tools.
You can mount garage cabinet on the wall or it can sit on the floor. The wall mounting is probably what you would prefer. It is up off the floor giving you more space. Setting cabinets on the floor exposes them to moisture. This is a real problem if your cabinets are made from wood. Wall mount cabinets also keep the contents of the unit out of reach to most little critters like mice.
So do not think of your installation of garage cabinets as an expense. Think of it as an investment. The estimates that a good garage space can add $5,000 to $10,000 onto the resale value of the house. Not only will you be able to enjoy using your garage more, but you will be able to recoup most or all of the money spent on the garage storage solutions. And do not forget to USE the cabinets to "de-clutter" the garage and the house when it comes time to sell your home. As your listing agent will point out, "If a buyer sees your stuff scattered around, they will assume the house is not large enough to hold the buyer`s stuff either."
