Storage Idea -Up High

[ddurrett896]

Wrapping up my garage and going with NewAge pro cabinets and lockers. Wall height is 11', so I have about 90' of wall space with that can store stuff in the top 3'.

Anything you using that you recommend? Thanks!

I did something similar to my in-laws garage. I used the typical HD wire rack stuff. Easy to put up.

With 3' of space, you have enough room for at least 2 rows if you're storing the typical tubs.

Possibly put up lumber and tubing if you stock the stuff. You could always put up more upper cabinets above your current upper cabinets, just need a ladder to access it... or maybe something cool like a sliding library ladder

I built siding door cabinets and used clear plastic totes. It is a clean looking installation. I store items that I do not use frequently up their and the clear and labeled totes allow me to see inside each bin.

which fits better over your purchased cabinets, 16"W or 2'W shelving. Either of those will reduce waste of sheet materials.

NewAge is currently offering steel shelving. I don't have access yet, but I've got a video.

NewAge also offers a system of overhead racks called VersaRac. I don't show these because they I'd have to add shipping charges. But I've got a video right here.

I can add either of these options to any NewAge set purchased with free shipping.

My plan is to rip 8' sheets of ply right down the long centerline, 1x2 or 1x3 pine nosing biscuited to it, back edge will sit on a cleat and front edge attach to the underside of trusses via pencil-rods (steel rods 1/4" dia). It might end up better to be 18" deep istead of 23-15/16"...

I have about 13 ft to the bottom of the trusses so I built a 2 ft wide shelf 8 ft above the floor along two sides of the garage. It holds a lot of **** that I don't use very often without being in the way of working in the garage.

it was reasonably cheap and easy to do compared to buying pre-made stuff.

I did the plywood with slight rabbit on the pine nose -- glued and nailed. My walls are 10' ... used a rubbermaid tub as my guide. The tubs make things easy to get down and keep everything clean and tidy.
