Garage accessories for own hands. Organization of storage places

The garage is almost the second home for motorists. This building is designed to store not only the car, but also all kinds of tools. This is often, so to speak, "mini-workshop" of the owner, where you can perform any repairs. Each owner makes the arrangement of his garage for himself. There are certain requirements that you need to try to carry out, so that the car maintenance is more convenient and comfortable.

Basic requirements for the arrangement of the garage

First of all, the arrangement of the premises implies that it will be quite dry and warm. By equipping the garage with your own hands with useful devices, you need to remember that access to the tool or equipment located there should be extremely convenient and as simple as possible. Therefore, it is better to think over the location of storage locations in advance. If you want, you can supplement and equip the garage with additional means for performing repair and maintenance of the car, such as a tool bench and an inspection pit.

How to organize storage locations

Typically, the garage stores not only the car, but also a variety of different tools and accessories that take up a lot of space. Therefore, performing an independent arrangement of the garage, you should try to use as much space as possible under various shelves, racks, cabinets, hooks, but in such a way that they do not interfere with free movement of the room. Shelves can be hung anywhere: over windows, tables, shelves, etc. It is best to use the wall that is furthest from the gate, and there to arrange a workbench and other homemade tools and devices. The garage, equipped in this way, will become a place where everything is at hand and does not interfere with moving around the room.

You can also think of a small locker in which you can hang working clothes.

Garage accessories for own use

There are many useful tips for the interior of the garage, and the bulk of the necessary devices can be done on their own. Let us consider them in more detail.

Garage Rack

In order for the garage to be in order, each tool must have its place. For convenient storage of things you can collect a homemade rack. It is done in such a way that it can withstand a load of at least 150 kg. The structure can be made of metal or wood (it is better to use oak, hornbeam, beech). Before assembling the wooden rack, all its elements should be treated with an antiseptic.

You can make both a straight and an angular shape of the structure. For the shelves use plywood or chipboard. It should be remembered that the greater the expected load, the thicker the material should be. To give the shelves a more presentable look, you can paint them or glue them with a special film.

Shelves for garage

It is necessary to make and install a few fairly convenient and sufficiently spacious shelves to store different accessories there. For this, first of all, it is necessary to determine the location of their placement and to set the required number and optimal sizes of future products. Next, prepare the boards and fasteners, and mark the mounting points on the wall. Using a perforator, make holes in the wall and screw in the dowels. To the board attach the hangers and fix the finished products to the intended place.

Homemade Workbench

Garage accessories, made with their own hands, allow you to perform work as comfortably and productively as possible. The workbench will help to repair not only the details of the machine, but also many other household items. To make it, you must first think over the optimal design. The main elements of the product are the table and table top. In addition, the construction includes a clamping device (or several). We begin to collect the table top. The optimal option is 20 joined by means of glue and metal screeds boards. Before gluing, they must be strung. Now make the legs of the bar and the base of the substructure, assembled from two frames. We fasten it with its supports. We attach a sheet of plywood to the bottom frame. Then attach the side and rear support walls from the chipboard or plywood. On the left side of the table you can build a convenient locker with a hinged door. We connect the table top and the upper frame. We prepare the finished workbench with varnish or varnish.

Brackets

The fixed brackets are also very convenient accessories for the garage. With our own hands, we will make them for the storage of replacement tires. It is better to place the brackets closer to the ceiling so that the wheels do not occupy a useful space.

Overpass with own hands in the garage. Several variants

As a rule, a trestle is a special device that rises above the ground. It serves to inspect vehicles and carry out repairs if necessary. Its purpose is similar to a viewing pit, and she herself is a necessary attribute. These accessories for the garage with their own hands are mounted from metal, railway sleepers or bricks. Homemade overpasses should have a strong enough base, which will minimize the risk of falling the car.

Overpasses can be of two options:

• With the full arrival of the car;
• With a partial lift of the car.

The first option allows to provide more comfortable conditions for the maintenance of the vehicle than the second one.
