4 Easy Steps to Organize Your Shed or Garage

It’s almost inevitable—even with all the extra storage in the world, belongings seem to pile up over time. Sure, you can add a storage building or garage to your property (we can help with that), but then what?

No matter how much storage space you have, a little organization can go a long way toward cutting clutter and maximizing that space. Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Sort

Facing a mountain of boxes, tools, and miscellaneous items can be intimidating. But every project has to start somewhere! Begin by sorting everything into piles: keep, donate, and toss.

Pro Tip: Take everything out of the building first so you can clearly see how much space you have to work with.

Step 2: Categorize

Take your organization a step further by categorizing your "keep" pile. Think of it like organizing files on your computer—put memorabilia, holiday décor, sports gear, and tools into their own groups.

Be sure to label boxes clearly. You’ll save yourself so much time when you're looking for specific items later on!
