The main problem was that the garage was full of items sitting and laying on the garage floor. The homeowners wanted to get the items off the floor and organized. There were a variety of items, from small to very large, that they wanted to keep inside the garage, along with their vehicles. Among the larger items were two kyaks and a tall ladder. In addition, they wanted a functional work space to work on projects in the garage.
Our team installed a motorized lift to raise and lower their two kyaks. The lift is operated using a application on the homeowner's cell phone! The lift holding the kayaks is out of the way, yet so convenient to use and access, taking up space well above the garage floor!
To make it easy to store and access the tall ladder, we installed slatwall on the garage backwall. Slatwall can be cut to fit the wall space available and to accommodate hanging items of many sizes and shapes, including the tall ladder!
In addition, our team installed inverted shelving over the refrigerator and close to the door leading into the home. The shelving allows easy access to small or bulky items and provides both short and long-term tote storage; Also pictured to the right, on the garage back wall, is slatwall.
The photos show how attractive and organized the homeowner’s garage became! One photo shows a closeup of the two kyaks. Other photos include the tall ladder hung on slatwall, tall cabinets, and shelving above the refrigerator. In the middle (backwall of garage) is the slatwall with the tall ladder, three tall cabinets mounted off the floor, and slatwall in the right corner with hooks to hang items high, low, or in the middle of the slatwall. On the right garage wall is a workbench with lower cabinets with drawers and slat wall near the windows.
The homeowner selected colors for the epoxy-flaked garage floor to complement the colors of the slat wall, cabinets, and workbench. In addition, the homeowner included the epoxy-flaked floor finish on the garage floor as well as on the “stem wall” at the bottom portion of the garage walls.
