The garage can be a breeding ground for clutter. And if yours has reached the point where it’s hard to find things when you need them or even park the car – it’s time to get organised! The first step is to clear the clutter and throw away, sell or donate anything you no longer need. Then it’s time to invest in storage that will help you keep your garage clean and tidy. From shelves to vertical storage solutions, you’ll find everything you need to organise your garage at Bunnings.

1. Workbenches

Create an efficient workspace with a workbench that keeps your favourite tools handy. Drawers provide extra storage and overhead cabinets and pegboards maximise your use of vertical space.

2. Adjustable shelving

Shelves are a great place to store the items you use most often, where they’re kept visible and easily accessible.

3. Accessories

It’s easier to keep your garage organised when everything has a place! Plastic tubs help you group items together so you can easily find them. Sturdy hooks and racks are the perfect way to store larger tools and gardening equipment that won’t fit in shelves.

4. Vertical solutions

To maximise your storage space, go vertical. A modular wall panel system has removable hooks that let you organise a number of items, such as bikes, in a slim space. And you can alter the hooks to suit different sized items down the track when you have new things to store.
