Garage Storage - Any Successes?

[brennan2470]

I’ve seen a lot of very short threads on this forum with people asking about boarding out their garages for storage. The advice is typically not to board the trusses but instead to run new joists to support the boarding above.

I’ve seen barely anything from people who have actually done it though.

I have a 7m x 6m double garage. Does anybody have any success stories of properly boarding out the loft space aside from just throwing some boards up there? If so what reinforcement work did you do?

Much appreciated.

Hello. I’m planning to start building my garage early next year, and I’d like to figure out the organization in advance, including things like toolboxes, cabinets, work surfaces, tool racks, and more. I often see garages on TV, YouTube, and professional race shops where everything looks perfectly organized, nothing is out of place, and every tool has a designated home. I’m curious how they even know where to begin when setting something like that up.

You prioritise the tools you use most often, and arrange them so that they are most easily accessible.
