What to plan first
- Layout zones: tools, seasonal, household, automotive — assign each zone a cabinet run.
- Base vs. wall: heavy items in base cabinets; wall units for lighter storage above.
- Work surface: a solid bench run between base cabinets doubles the utility.
Materials for the garage
Plywood boxes are the standard here too — particleboard sags under tool weight and swells with garage humidity. Choose 3/4-inch plywood, durable laminate or painted finishes, and heavy-duty drawer glides rated for 100+ lbs.
Storage systems that work
- Pull-out shelves for power tools
- Pegboard or slatwall zones above the bench
- Overhead racks for long items
- Lockable cabinet for chemicals and paint
