Tool Storage and Workbench Ideas

As I tackle tool storage and workbench organization, I'm on a mission to craft a space that's both functional and efficient, where every tool has its designated spot and I can focus on getting the job done.

I'm a fan of DIY workbench designs that maximize space, like a simple plywood workbench with edging, mounted to the wall to save floor space. Compact workbench solutions are a must, especially when paired with creative tool storage ideas.

I love using stock kitchen cabinets for storing power tools and adhesive bins on cabinet doors for small items. A metal pegboard for hand tool storage is also a game-changer. With these tool organization hacks, I can finally find what I need in a snap!

Efficient Storage for Lawn and Lumber

I'm taking my garage organization to the next level by tackling the often-overlooked areas of lawn and lumber storage. It's time to get my outdoor equipment and wood storage in check! To maximize my space, I'm utilizing adjustable shelving brackets for lumber storage and making use of wall space above tools for long boards and trim pieces.

Here are a few more tips I'm implementing:

  • Creating a designated zone for lawn and garden tools, complete with a utility track system for hanging long-handled tools

  • Storing smaller scrap wood in an organizer on wheels for easy access
