You park your car in the driveway and you still have to work on your projects in the back yard. If you don’t use your garage for its designed purpose why not turn it into a tidy garage workshop? Here are five affordable steps to turn your garage into the perfect small garage workshop:

Garage Workbenches

Building a garage workbench can be as simple as using an old door, some sawhorses or scrap wood.

Garage Pegboard

Mount a pegboard on the wall for organizing garage tools, ideally above your workbench. Strategically place pegs according to the type of tools you will be placing on the board. After hanging your tools, trace around them with a marker so you will know where each one goes when you want to put it back.

Garage Storage Organizer

Old jars make for great storage containers for holding nails, nuts, bolts and screws. They come in all sizes and are clear so you can see what’s inside.

Simple Garage Storage Solutions

One of the simplest ideas is to make a storage box for the all of the rags that tend to accumulate in your garage.

Bin Storage System

Instead of buying one of those expensive bin systems try using a small tackle box for transporting items such as screws and nails as you move around the shop.
