Cheap carports help increase tools storage space
All of these problems can be eliminated by a simple solution. Purchase and install a cheap carport. These are fairly inexpensive and easily installed. You can do it yourself or have a professional install it on your property. Once installed, move out the items that need somewhat of a protection from the elements but do not need complete coverage. Items of this nature include garden fertilizer, garden mulch, grass seed bags, bags of ice melting compounds, driveway sands, leaf rakes, shovels and such. Once these items that have been inhabiting your garage are out of the way, now there will be more space available for the storage and organization of your more important tools such as saws, drills, and such.
There might even be enough space to build a shelf, a cabinet or even a work bench in your garage for the storage of tools. But when the space is occupied by things such as cans of motor oil that you bought in bulk because of discounts or cans of paint purchased similarly, bags of garden supplies and such, then there ends up being no room in your garage for the storage of tools. That is where these cheap carports can come in handy.
