Blank Canvas - Garage Organization.

[cgwilks]

Hey all.. looking for great ideas or what you would do for your garage organization wise. My house is a rambler on a hill so I had a Garage put in underneath my third car garage, so I have an enclosed cement garage that’s roughly 16x30 feet. One end has 8 foot single car garage door.
I’m wanting to use it to work in my old cruiser as well storage and
Have my mancave.
Tell me if I’m stupid but thinking about framing off
One side length side as well as the far wall to hang stuff/use for storage, and leave the third side as is. Your guys thoughts/suggestions/things I should think about?

Very nice. Maybe a skin of OSB over the concrete for a start, at least on some walls, to give you lots of mounting flexibility?

Nice view out the door-- is that maybe Walker or Topaz Lake?

Maybe a section of pallet racking for storage. Put one shelf at the correct height and use for a workbench.

How much junk do you need to store and how much work do you really do on your cruiser?

With some concrete work outside this space seems like the perfect place to build into a showroom garage and have your cave on one end. Think about adding cabinets so everything is put away and looks more like a dealer showroom than a shop.

of course if your doing fab work and swapping engines a showroom setup might not make the most sense.

That's pretty magnificent. You need a glass garage door for that view! Bunker with a view...

You really need to start with doing a few layout drawings. Will the workbench be against the back wall or along the wider right side of the garage? Car and workshop area at the back with the man cave by the garage door? The left side is narrow, so wherever the car is there is not going to be much storage along that part of the wall. SJ's idea of using cabinets instead of open storage is a good one: "Think about adding cabinets so everything is put away and looks more like a dealer showroom than a shop."

If you post up some layout idea drawings, they will give people a better start for making suggestions.
