The order in the garage implies convenient open storage of all frequently used tools and compact storage of various little things "in reserve".

Often the garage and the home workshop are combined, so all tools and supplies should have a convenient storage system.

As soon as the storage system becomes not very convenient for regular maintenance, the garage again turns into an elemental warehouse.

To store tools in the garage, it is better to use open shelves. It is very convenient if these shelves are removable.

In the garage of the workshop, it is necessary to place not only the usual set of tools of a car enthusiast and a home master, but, sometimes, a garden tool and camping equipment.

Make the most of the entire height of the room. In plastic boxes under the ceiling and on the floor, you can put those things that you use from time to time.

The tool storage system in the garage uses the entire wall area as a stand. Separate shelves for hanging tools and supplies are suspended on horizontal guides.

Wooden guides are used here, but it is better to use metal pipes for these purposes. If over time, the guide that we see in the photo crumbles, a box with a heavy tool can fall right on your foot.

Such an organizer for storing consumables can be made from plywood sheets, which are connected with booklet loops.

The lockable stand-toolbox for the home master's tools will allow him to easily maintain the necessary order in the garage.

Metal nets are convenient for storing paint cans, fertilizer bags, etc.

Metal guides and metal shelves not only guarantee safe storage of the tool, but are easy enough to clean.

It is inconvenient to hold a power tool in a branded suitcase, it is much more convenient to make such an open stand for storage.

The owner in the garage has a lot of necessary little things and for each of them has its own way of storage.

Most ways to store a tool are unpretentious, but still more efficient.

Very convenient design for storing consumables! The box with the self-tapping screws that you use is fixed on a separate panel, and at the end of the work, you slide it into the general organizer.

Each owner has his own range of activities and a different number of tools. But the convenient organization of labor always makes one want to do something else. Take the time to clean up your garage.

Sliding panels as additional storage space for tools. Make sure that they will work reliably without getting stuck in the grooves, otherwise this storage method will not be practical.

Simple and convenient. Keep your tool wisely! If you do not have a garage, and you store all your tools in a small drawer on the balcony, then even there you can organize a small work cabinet.

We continue for the happy owners of the garage. Before us is a convenient way to store clamps.

Some ideas for storage can be seen in stores that sell tools.

But there are more than tools in our garage. We still have pipes, strips, the necessary pieces of plywood and plastic.

It is not difficult to assemble such a ceiling structure from pipes in your own garage.

Large sheets of plywood and drywall are best stored in this way - in an upright position.

For scraps of plywood, plastic, etc. You can make such a wall shelf.

Even a dozen boards can create a mess in the garage. Let's make a simple storage design.

Another convenient way to store long pipes and all kinds of plates in the garage.

A small workbench can also serve as a storage place for boards and pieces of plywood.

It’s not necessary to clean up the garage in one day. All this can be done gradually, step by step.

DIY garage do-it-yourself products are almost rationalization developments with important effects that help motorists in car maintenance. This article will tell car owners what to do in the garage with their own hands.

It briefly describes the device structures, useful tips for their use.

How can I equip a garage

In any garage, it is necessary to ensure convenient storage of all frequently used tools and a dense arrangement of various little things "in reserve". It’s good to have here not only a place to place a car, but a workshop with a convenient layout system for all items, as shown in the photo.

The first home-made in the garage - convenient racks (see), shelves, all kinds of drawers, where spare parts for the car will be placed, the most necessary tool.

Tip: For these purposes, you should use the entire height of the room. On the floor and under the ceiling in plastic boxes you can put things you need from time to time.

Convenient homework in the garage is:

• Stand on the entire wall for storing all kinds of little things.

• Open shelves.
• Boxes for storing unnecessary things.
• Lockable stand-drawer.
• Metal nets for storing all kinds of cans, bags.
• Special stand for storing power tools.
• Sliding panels can be an additional place for tools.

How to equip your garage, what you can make home-made do-it-yourselfers in the garage will tell the video.

How to make a stand for a drill

DIY crafts for the garage can be made not only for, but also to facilitate repair work. It is very convenient to have such homemade products in the garage with your own hands, for example, racks for various power tools.

An example of such a homemade product for a house and a garage is a stand for a drill.

Often, when doing homework, you have to drill holes that must be even so that their axes are strictly perpendicular to the plane of the part, which is quite difficult to make with a conventional drill without distortions in any direction. The made stand for a drill with your own hands helps to solve this problem.

To make the device you will need:

• The basis from the milling machine.
• Calibrated tube or bar.
• Plywood.

The basis for the adaptation is a platform from a worn manual milling cutter.

Its advantages are:

• Flat plane.
• There are guides that change to longer elements from the tubes.

• A box is made of thick plywood, the size of a drill.
• With the help of wing nuts, the drill is firmly fixed in the box.
• Two holes are drilled in the box.
• Through them, this element is mounted on the guide rails. In this case, the movement of the drill will only be vertical.

With proper arrangement of space, the garage can serve not only for parking the car, but also be a workshop for its maintenance. In addition, a properly planned space will easily accommodate the required tool for this, will provide storage of technical fluids and wheels in the off-season. The functionality of the premises will expand, which can be made from improvised material or purchased in specialized stores with subsequent refinement to your needs.

Given the fact that the number of things in the garage will increase over time, it is worthwhile to rationally use the walls, floor, basement (if any), equipping them with the maximum number of shelves, hooks, shelving. For skilled craftsmen they determine the workplace, equip it in accordance with the needs.

Oversized storage

All items occupying the garage space are conventionally divided according to several characteristics: large and small, constantly required or used once or twice a year. Depending on this, before starting the arrangement of space, a list of large things of not frequent use is being worked out, which include:

• winter, summer wheels;
• bicycles
• skiing.

The list may be longer, perhaps the garage owner likes to lock up, then in his arsenal there will certainly be long pipes (plastic and metal) of different sections, bars and boards. For compact orderly storage of bulky items, homemade garage or purchased appliances are used, for example:

1. Bicycle wall holders are purchased that allow them to be stored in an upright position, which provides significant space savings;
2. For rubber sets, special shelves are equipped on which each wheel lies separately. They are placed in any convenient place, for example, under the ceiling, along the wall, or, capturing the corner space, or suspended from the ceiling or wall on the appropriate support, previously cleaned of dirt, packed in special covers. This method of tire storage is only suitable for disc kits.
     Considering cases when tires are stored without disks, a rack is welded from metal, on which the tires are vertically in a row. Place the device under the ceiling or on the floor, securely fastening it;
3. Using home-made mounts, they provide a compact arrangement of skis, ski poles and other sports equipment.

Attention! It is necessary to foresee a place in the upper third of the wall for storing a removable trunk.

In addition, craftsmen make different suspended ceiling structures located parallel to the floor to accommodate long objects, such as pipe cuts or beams.

Accessories for small things

For many craftsmen, the number of different-sized screws, nuts, bolts, washers is measured by a bunch of boxes and pails, in which it is extremely difficult to find the right part. To solve the problem, invented such ways for the garage that allow you to streamline small things and provide a quick finding of the necessary details, for example:

• special portable drawers with compartments. A convenient option that allows not only to store, but also to transfer the required parts if necessary. It should be noted that the cost of drawers is relatively high, therefore the ideas proposed below will help reduce costs;
• craftsmen sort small nuts and other parts into jars with twisting lids, while the lids themselves are securely attached to the hanging shelves. It remains only to screw the can into the lid and the details will always be in sight, at hand.

In the presence of financial capabilities, they acquire compact storage systems for hardware, nuts, and other parts of different sizes, differing in the fastening capabilities.

Tool storage

The working tool is divided into large and small, respectively, home-made devices for the garage will be different. In most cases, owners prefer to store a cutting machine, a puncher, and other large tools using "native" drawers. Therefore, for their convenient location along the wall, a rack is made of improvised materials, taking into account the total load on the shelves (for improvised structures, the weight should not exceed 150 kg).

Attention! The stores present a wide variety of shelving models made of both wood and metal, withstanding loads of up to 500 kg or more. At a relatively low cost, it is convenient to purchase a ready-made rack in the garage for the right size, fixing it against the wall.

For small tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and others, they organize the space depending on their number:

• sets are stored in the acquired drawers, located on the shelf;
• for single items, they either equip cabinets in which each tool is fixed in the corresponding niche, or prepare a perforated surface (as in a store), mounted on the wall and determine a specific place for each of the tools.

Some craftsmen place their tools using constructions made of plastic pipes, in which they make holes of the corresponding diameter.

Homemade machines for garage work

For comfortable repair work, a place under the workbench is provided (to save space it can be made folding). To begin with, a drawing of the table is worked out, thinking over the presence of sliding shelves, then, it is made of boards or metal sheets, equipped with a vice and a grinding machine.

In some cases, craftsmen cannot do without home-made machines and other devices made independently and improving the quality of the manufactured thing.

Hand Tool Press

One of the most popular DIY appliances in the garage. To create it, you will need a hydraulic jack, a metal surface, which will serve as the base of the moving part of the press, springs and profile pipes or channel to create a frame. Further:

• create a frame by welding channels and strengthening the structure with transverse stiffeners, transverse corners are also welded down for stability;
• the movable platform is connected to the upper frame by springs, a jack is installed.

The efforts of the press are regulated by a jack.

Depending on the needs of the garage owner, other useful home-made machines are made, for example, a drilling machine made on the basis of a drill secured with clamps and moving along the rail using a gear or detachable or turning.

In addition to the above devices, you should take care of the location of work clothes, provide for the presence of a fire extinguisher or sand (based on fire safety rules), consider ventilation and lighting systems.

Thus, having shown a little ingenuity and thriftiness, it is possible to make fixtures for the garage with your own hands, thereby ensuring compact storage of things and freeing up enough space for minor car repairs and work related to the maintenance of a particular home appliance.

A garage is not only a place for a car, but also a source of invaluable additional space that can be used really rationally if you construct useful appliances with your own hands.

DIY garage fixtures

Since the garage for its intended purpose is home to a car, you should be careful that the place for tools is well organized. Also, there will probably be several square meters in the room in order to remove some of the objects from the apartment so as not to clutter up the living room.

When installing various devices in a room, it is important to ensure that all available equipment is at hand. To do this, you can use the following recommendations:

The rational organization of space in the garage creates many tangible advantages:

• there is the possibility of independent implementation of short-term repair of auto parts and other mechanisms, due to which you can significantly save money;
• convenient placement of tools significantly accelerates the progress of work and saves time;
• the creation of additional places for storing tools, old things, clothes makes it possible to unload the apartment from things that are rarely used in the household;
• finally, thoughtful internal logistics of the room allows him to maintain his attractive appearance and avoid clutter.

NOTE. At the stage of project development, it is important to take into account the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises, as well as take into account several mandatory utility compartments - for storing summer and winter tires, cans, jacks, etc.

Garage rack: step-by-step instructions for manufacturing

Since there are always a lot of items in the garage, ordering their location is a fundamental requirement for proper storage. The easiest and at the same time convenient option is to create a shelf with shelves.

Preparatory stage

Before proceeding with the installation of the structure, several important requirements should be considered:

• The total mass of the rack should not be more than 4-5 centners - otherwise the structure will be very difficult to move if necessary. Also, it will significantly pressure the floor, which can degrade the quality of the coating.
• When choosing materials, it is important to proceed from considerations of strength and durability of the structure. The best fit is metal, as well as wooden products from beech or oak. Plastic shelves are not suitable - they are not durable and also can not withstand the temperature difference.
• When choosing between a metal and a wooden structure, you should proceed from your specific needs. Metal is more durable and stronger, but wood is more affordable. If you need to place a few tools, just make a small wooden bookcase.
• Since all tools are very heavy, you should immediately calculate the strength of the structure so that it can withstand at least 100-150 kg on one shelf.

Mounting a wooden structure

To make such a fixture for a garage with your own hands, you will need the usual working tools:

• hacksaw for wood and metal;
• hammer, nails;
• screwdriver, screws;
• building roulette;
• construction level;
• electric drill.

Prior to assembly, it is important that all wooden parts are primed and varnished. In the garage, there may be increased humidity or a temperature drop - therefore, without processing, the tree will not last long.

Video - DIY wooden shelving technology

Mounting a metal structure

Metal structures are distinguished by exceptional durability and strength. In addition, they do not need to be treated with special materials to prevent rot.

It is possible to make a rack of metal, as well as individual structures, for example, for storing rubber.

In this case, the storage rules for tires, which are schematically shown in the figure, should be taken into account.

At the design stage of the metal shelf, it should be taken into account so that all the necessary items can be freely placed in it. As a basis, you can take such a drawing.

Or this option.

The easiest option is to purchase a modular design and assemble it yourself. But you can make this adaptation for the garage with your own hands. The sequence of actions is as follows:

The heaviest equipment is best placed on the lower shelves for optimal load distribution throughout the rack. In this case, the best option is when the lower floors are of corrugated metal, and for the upper it is quite acceptable to use a solid chipboard.

Hanging shelves: quick and practical

Not in all cases there is a need to create a rack, because it will take up a lot of space. On the other hand, in a garage of any size, the upper space always remains unused, which can be easily occupied under hinged shelves.

Structurally, it’s quite possible to do with your own hands any option for such a garage device:

From the tools you will need the standard set described above. The sequence of actions is as follows:

If the shelf is mounted to the ceiling, you can strengthen its connection to the wall with the help of metal corners - then the product will not sway and will last much longer.

Schematically, the entire technology is shown in the figure.

Making a shelf-shield

The technology for making such a device for a garage with your own hands has its own differences in comparison with the installation of ordinary shelves:

• The shield itself is made of durable plywood, the parameters of which are selected according to the situation. Visually, the shield should completely overlap the surface of the desktop.
• A space is allocated on the shield for all shelves and appropriate notes are made.
• Further, in the surface of the structure, all holes are made into which the dowels enter. It is on them that hooks will be attached, on which all the tools will fit.
• The shield is attached to the wall using brackets. Corresponding holes are made using a punch.

Schematically, all steps are reflected in the figure.

Workbench for the garage: step-by-step instructions

Another design, which is likely to be needed for repair, locksmith and other types of work, is a workbench. It can be purchased at the store, but if there is a certain skill, then it is quite realistic to make such a device with your own hands and put it in the garage.

Before carrying out the actual installation work, it is important to clarify several important details:

• In what place will the table be located.
• What kind of work will be mainly carried out on it.
• What material of the working surface is suitable - metal or wood.

All these issues are closely related to the purpose of the product. If the work is supposed to be done often, it is better to choose a durable metal. And for standard household tasks a solid tree will do.

It’s important to understand that a workbench is not just a work surface. Often, it combines the function of a cabinet, a small chest of drawers, and even a metal safe - a similar set of parameters depends on the specific configuration of the product.

Varieties of Workbenches

The key classification of workbenches is based on the types of work that is supposed to be carried out on it:

At the same time, these functions can be combined, therefore, such a classification is largely arbitrary. The best option for such a garage fixture is a design on a metal frame with a wooden table surface and drawers. It is more reliable than a wooden counterpart, and allows you to save on manufacturing due to the fact that some parts will be made of wood. The surface of the table can be strengthened with a metal sheet - then the workbench will last a very long time.

Manufacturing technology of a workbench from a metal frame

To install the structure you will need a standard set of tools and materials:

• welding machine;
• grinder for metal;
• building level;
• wood jigsaw;
• screwdriver, drill;
• self-tapping screws, anchor bolts;
• hammer and nails;
• metal corners with parameters 5 * 5 cm;
• square pipes 6 * 4 cm, the total length of the order of 24-25 m;
• steel strip 4 cm thick, up to 8-9 m long;
• paint for wood and metal.

Such parameters are intended for the manufacture of the finished product with the parameters of the table 220 * 75 cm, as shown in the figure.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Even at the design stage of the workbench, it is important to decide whether the device will be collapsible or it will be stationary in the garage. In the case of a collapsible option, all parts are attached using self-tapping screws, and the principles of the technology will be different.

The technology of manufacturing a wooden workbench

Wooden workbench is less durable than metal. It is well suited for those cases when the work is supposed to be done not so often - several times a year.

To make this fixture for the garage with your own hands, you can use the same drawing that was given above, or take as a sample the diagram shown in the figure.

The algorithm will be something like this:

DIY garage tipper: step-by-step video tutorial

Along with the creation of the considered devices for the garage, you can take care of making your own hands the working tools that will be needed directly for the maintenance of the car.

One of the most useful installations is a tipper for inspecting the bottom of the machine. The need for such a product is most relevant for Russian realities, since far from every case there is a real possibility of building a viewing hole.

Detailed video instruction with a step-by-step manufacturing scheme

Before making such an installation, it is extremely important to consider the safety issue. Even a light car in the event of a fall can cause an accident and, at a minimum, will suffer severe damage. Therefore, undertaking the creation of such a design is possible only if there is sufficient skill.

Independent manufacture of garage accessories allows you to rationally organize the interior space and, in fact, get your own workshop in which you can perform any current repair work.

Original ideas for organizing space in the garage

And finally - a photo selection of visual ideas for creating roomy designs from a variety of objects that are likely to be found in any garage.

We will send the material to you by e-mail

For the rational use of space, communications and fixtures for the garage are used with do-it-yourself materials. It is necessary to use the underground level in the process of the wall, place it indoors, and organize normal lighting.

Homemade appliances for the garage

For comfortable operation of the room intended for car storage, you should adhere to certain recommendations:

Depending on the dimensions of the building, the area occupied by equipment, appliances, communications should not exceed 10 - 20% of the size of the garage floor.

Storage locations, racks, workbenches

In 80% of cases, do-it-yourself garage accessories are built to store accessories, tools, and vehicle equipment. It should be noted that the most bulky parts of the machine are sets of winter / summer tires, depending on the season.

The main nuances of these designs are:

The width of the pit should allow the driver to call on it without lighting.

Lighting and ventilation

In garages, parallel schemes of lighting devices are more often used. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during major repairs, visiting the cellar. Minimum power consumption is provided. A large resource has daylight devices.

In cars, poisonous, harmful fuels and lubricants are used, therefore, do-it-yourself ventilation devices for the garage become relevant, allowing you to create air exchange. The inflow is organized from below:

• garage - ventilation in the masonry, protected by bars;
• cellar - a pipe from a garage or from the street.

The hood is mounted under the ceiling of the cellar, the roof of the garage or has the form of vents in the main walls at the highest points.

Useful accessories for the garage with your own hands can be made from used dishes, equipment left over after the construction of materials. For example, by gluing the lids of plastic cans horizontally / vertically, the owner receives a convenient transparent dish for accessories or hardware, which is always at hand.

Homemade machines

From a power tool, you can also assemble appliances for the garage:

• drilling - a drill fixed by clamps in a device moving a gear along a rail;

• detachable - clamped in the same way with a angle grinder with a snap for metal or wood;

The advantage of the machines is a more accurate positioning of the tool relative to the workpiece. The equipment turns out to be collapsible, remove the drill and angle grinder mono, apply as directed.

Hydropress

The simplest design is obtained from an automobile hydraulic jack. To press out / press in bearings, press / compress parts, you will need to build a frame and a removable movable stop. The frame consists of 4 channels welded to each other. At the top, the structure is reinforced with stiffeners (kerchiefs), transverse corners have been added at the bottom, giving the frame stability.

The emphasis is pulled in a normal position to the upper crossbar of the frame with powerful springs. A hydraulic jack is installed between them, as necessary pressing the emphasis to the lower crossbeam of the frame. The press force is regulated by a jack, the dimensions of the working area are selected depending on the size of the workpieces.

And finally, a few more examples of useful things for the garage.
