Planning for Storage Makes Sense

Garages are highly prized structures, and rental trends show that tenants are willing to pay more for properties with one included. A quick glance through real estate listings confirms that properties with ample shedding will attract greater sale prices than the properties that lack them. The recent boom of self-storage units across suburban developments is further testament to the public's desire for extra space; therefore, it makes sense to improve your property investment with the addition of a garage. What is even more ingenious is the ability to select customisable designs that provide maximum storage options. So if you are about to invest in a new garage, there are several things that you can do to get the best storage capacity out of it.

Our garages can be custom designed with additional space explicitly for storage. Some barn-style designs offer a second floor that can be fitted with shelving and cupboards to serve a whole range of storage purposes. Additional bays can be included in the planning stage, and features such as patios, verandas, or even carports can provide more room for caravans, boats, stacking firewood, etc. Design features such as mezzanine flooring enable you to fully utilise the space in your garage. With the addition of a few skylights and an extension ladder or staircase, seasonal objects can be kept safely out of the way.

Workbenches with cabinets provide secure places to store tools, fuels and chemicals. Shelving unit frames require little floor space, are great for holding plastic tubs and baskets, and provide visible, easy access to the stored items. Adding shelving to the walls, along with hooks, will also help store folding chairs and gardening tools, and other equipment in a more organised, safe manner.

Increasing the storage space in garages improves the value of properties, and having a well-organised shed just makes life easier. With all of the options that these structures provide, homeowners are sure to end up with a useful and satisfactory space for their vehicles, extra items, hobbies, and their lives.
