YOUR GARAGE & SHED, SORTED

A space over-stuffed with tools, paint pots, and camping gear will slow down every task. These storage ideas will help you find what you need to get the job done quicklyé

1 THE FLEXIBLE SYSTEM

Keep the garage floor clear from clutter and invest in a system than can store everything from bikes and garden furniture to picnicware and more. Use a combination of adjustable hooks, shelves and clear plastic boxes (so you can see what’s in them) to store outdoor toys, sports equipment and camping gear. Elfa starter kit, from £45, Store

2 THE TOOL CLAMP

of the hand secures tools in place.

5 THE HARDWARE ORGANISER
