Garage Storage Zones:
3 Must-Haves

garage, garage storage tips, garage organizing tips, home storage tipsage The garage is a great place to stash all the family's non-daily-use stuff.

Not all storage is created equal, after all. And why should you have to pay for it off-site when you can do a little rearranging and make room for everything at home?

Some things need to be accessible at all times; others we see once a decade when we move, but we want to keep them anyway.
What could be a better place to stash them?

Here are the three zones to create for easy storage and access:

1. Short-Term Storage:

This is for things you'll need in the next three months or things that you need intermittently, such as items you buy in bulk. Short-term storage also includes items that you don't use often but need to keep handy, such as boots, flashlights, and umbrellas.

2. Mid-Term Storage:

These are things you use seasonally, such as Christmas trees, grills, hammocks, and snowboards and skis.

Put them in lofts or stack them in boxes, but don't push them all the way to the back.

3. Long-Term Storage:

These are things you don't really need but can't part with, either, such as old tax records, your daughter's first dress, your children's artwork, mementos, and family treasures that you can't stand but will pass down anyway.

Put these at the dark, back, inaccessible corners here.
