Important considerations when designing Garage Organization Systems
Planning is critical when designing garage organization systems. You don't want to just add more storage for garage clutter to continue to accumulate. The goal is to create more effective storage for garage clutter elimination.
The most important consideration when considering purchasing garage storage products is determining what you intend to store. It doesn't make sense to buy a bunch of garage cabinets if your primary needs are to store tall yard tools and sports equipment, you would be better-suited buying garage storage racks or even specialty sports equipment racks.
The second most important consideration to determining which garage storage products fit your need is to determine how dynamic of a garage system it is. If your needs change next year, will the solution you choose adapt easily?
The last consideration is style. Your main focus is utility, but you still want it to look good.
Picking your Perfect Garage Solution!
A garage storage organization system that fits all of these considerations perfectly is the Rubbermaid FastTrack. It is a modular garage system that can optionally integrate garage storage racks, garage cabinets, shelves, baskets, hooks and specialized sports equipment racks. A base set of rails are placed on the wall and the various garage storage products, of your choosing, can be placed in any arrangement on those rails.
The best feature of the Rubbermaid FastTrack garage storage organization system is that you are never stuck with your current garage system design. You can rearrange your current selection of garage storage products or add new components whenever you need to, and it only takes seconds to make the change! When it comes to dynamic storage for garage items, the Rubbermaid FastTrack is truly the perfect garage solution.
Sizing Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Organization Systems
There are two ways to size your custom design of the Rubbermaid FastTracks garage system. The first is to pick all the garage storage products you would like to have and then figure out what length rails you will need and where to place those rails in your garage. The second method is to predetermine where you would like to place the tacks in your garage and then select garage storage racks, shelves, baskets, etc... to fill it in.
Most people use a combination of these ideas. They may start with knowing the maximum length of rail they can accommodate and then par it down if they determine that the accessories they have selected will not fill all of the rails.
The rails come in two sizes 48-inch and 84-inch. Each of the garage storage racks and baskets will probably need a couple of inches of clearance to each side of the length listed in the products description, where as garage cabinets and shelves can butt up right against the next one. The trick comes in with some of the specially sports racks, particularly the bike racks and golf bag rack. These garage storage racks are smaller than the space that the items they store are. The Horizontal bike rack needs enough space to span a bike, but if it is put at the edge of the FastTrack it will take up less of the rail space. The vertical bike may block the a lower rail, this can be taken care of by offsetting the rails by one stud and hanging the bike at the end. Finally the golf bag rack is going to be almost as wide as the rack and two golf bags, since they hang off the sides.
If you keep all of these considerations in mind, your Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Organization Systems will exceed all of your needs as the perfect storage for garage organization!
