"Have You Considered
Garage Storage Cabinets
For your Garage?"
Adding garage storage cabinets into your garage storage design planning is a great idea for the mechanic or craftsman that needs closed storage for expensive tools and equipment that he/she wants kept out of view. An added advantage is that some of the cabinet units available are lockable so that you can keep sharps such as chisels, bits, cutting blades, etc. out of reach from small children and locked away from prying eyes that may covet special tools.
Locating the garage storage cabinets in the general garage storage scheme has a number of variables that revolve around how you use the workbench zone area of your garage. The Garage Storage Cabinets Plan at the left shows how you could layout the cabinet arrangement for a typical 2 car garage. In this case we have chosen to place the cabinets on each side of the workbench, but there are endless possibilities as to how you can successfully arrange these depending upon your own garage storage needs and usage.
The Garage Storage Cabinets Plan shows the cabinets in gray tone and each is numbered to correspond to the Legend shown below it that describes what type of cabinet is being used. The product items shown below are in the same order as what we show in the legend above. The products shown below are available in both gray and biege color tones. The gray tones are designated with the letter "G" at the end of their model number.

I was pleased that I was able to easily find the proper tall storage cabinet for my garage. I needed lockable storage to keep my toddler away from sharp tools and solvents that my husband stores. Garagetips-101 solved my problem!

I love the detail in your garage building pages. They helped me understand how to engineer a foundation for a garage we are planning that our building department will approve. I had the inspector go to your pages and review what I was talking about. Now, I am studying the wall framing sections, as we plan to build it ourselves this fall. Thank you so much for the great information.

Great stuff on wall framing. I never really understood the on-and-off spacing concepts for the wall studs until I read your explanations.
