How to Make Room in Your Garage: Procrastinator’s Edition

Guru | February 27, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

So, you finally decided to tackle that garage, huh? The one that's been silently judging you every time you squeeze through the maze of boxes that have sat there through several presidential administrations. Before you start, let’s have a little chat about how self storage can turn your garage from a cluttered cave of forgotten treasures into a space that you can actually use or even park a car in. 

Whether it’s to create a home gym (another great procrastinator project), a workshop or because your spouse has escalated their threats, we’re here to show you how to maximize the space in your garage. Move that old stuff you never touch and make room for the new you!

Take Inventory

First things first, let's play a game called “What on Earth is in my Garage?” Strap on your snorkel (if you can find it) and dive into the depths of your garage. Begin to sort your finds into four piles: 

  • Stuff to keep
  • Stuff to store
  • Stuff to donate
  • “Why do I even have this?” (AKA: trash)

Be ruthless! If you haven’t used it since the last solar eclipse, it’s time to store or say goodbye. This may be hard, but it’s the first step towards a more organized garage.
