    Please post pictures or descriptions of how you organize your garage for storage purposes. I don't have a shed so all lawn equipment,
    workbenches, tools, etc. reside in my two car garage, along with the motorcycle. The washer/dryer, deep freezer, water heater, furnace are
    on an elevated platform at kitchen door level. The ladders, cornhole
    boards and some lawn equipment hang from the walls. The cars sit
    outside in the driveway.

    I'm especially interested in how you manage rakes, brooms, shovels,
    axes, etc. I have a wall hanger similar to a coat rack for those but
    the wide rakes create spacing problems between them all.

    Sorry. We have a basement, 20x20 garage, 20x40 workshop, and 16x16 shed. Organization is just enough so we can find stuff without a protracted
    search.

    Even when we used the garage as the workshop, we put our toys away
    and pulled the cars into the garage, except for the very largest
    projects (like building the workshop).

    2 small garden sheds hold all that stuff for me - thankfully !
    .. along with the riding mower, 2 push mowers , gas cans, snowblower,
    garden supplies like pots & hoses & sprayers, tarp, animal trap,
    a ladies cruiser bicycle that hasn't been used in about 15 years ..
    etc. :-(

    Pictures? Not in this newsgroup, it's text only.

    For hanging stuff from the walls, I installed slat board all around.
    Gets stuff off the floors and looks good. There is a large variety of
    shelves and hooks that can be used with the slat board.

    In my previous house I had GarageTek come in and do the install.
    I my current house I did the slat board myself.

    Not sure this is any help but we parked both cars in garage. Our
    lawnmower and portable generator were also there. Entry is to utility
    room where we have washer, dryer, laundry tube and freezer and clothes
    closet. Furnace room in basement has heat pump and water heater so not
    nearly as much stuff in the garage.

    Sorry, ours is now a family room. We have 2 sheds and a 13x44ft
    screened back porch for such.

    It's a Troy-Bilt. I should have opened door to get it in along with
    generator in back of it.

    What are you using as hangers for the shovels and such? Where are your
    rakes? Are the brooms on the floor because you couldn't find a way to
    hang them with the shovels?
