I have lots of stuff in my garage, tools and thingies.
I have a few stacking shelf units but still struggle to get everything organised.
Any super organised garages. Show me!
I need help from the Marie Kondo of garages

Here’s mine: looks totally disorganised, but I know exactly where everything is.. Unfortunately I have to share it with Mrs B’s flower arranging stuff, and a freezer and tumble dryer

Just spent a few hours on mine as it was a bit of a mess despite me knowing (mostly) where everything was (approximately roughly honest!)

 

This was after clearing some junk out already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting there.

Just about done!



 

Note to self; NO MORE BIT SETS!

Mine after a bit of a tidy up.🤣

I'm waiting for a base to be laid for a 12'x12' workshop.

 

I'm trying to decide between concrete and wood.

 

I would prefer concrete for security and longevity but there's always concern with damp and condensation.

I had a concrete garage with asbestos roof for a couple of decades, it was frequently running with condensation.

 

I fitted a pitched roof over my neighbours identical garage (they were both kits from the late 50's early 60's) he used corrugated steel roof covering, by chance I had used the same over a concrete garage in France and the steel was running with condensation so he found a breathable white barrier fabric which was placed under the steel and it worked a treat, for the fist time ever his garage was dry and the white reflects the light back down making it brighter.

 

I have the same decision to make as you regarding my new 40m2 workshop, I think it is going to be timber framed, timber clad and the pitched roof will be tôle bac acier isolée - a double skinned steel corrugated roofing sheet with PU foam insulation between skins. It could even be used for the walls.

just put decent layer compacted CL804 and a sheet of dpc under it, and the concrete wont suffer any damp. 

I'm somewhat reassured that my garage looks pretty much the same as Lee's right now

If I find a way to make it look nice I'll take photographs

I eeven made room for that other shelf set that's in one of the pics. Just need to get to the DIY place for a few more Euro boxes for more organisation.
