Garage remodel
Getting ready to start remodeling my garage. I need to get everything organized and off the floor so I can get both cars in the garage.
I was wondering what kind of shelving (wall mount) you guys are using and where did you get it.
I don't have any free floor space, so floor mounted shelving and floor mounted cabinets are out of the question.
Pics would be a great plus as well as serve as ideas !

Not knowing what you are looking for. Are you looking to do a garagemahall One of the best systems I've seen is one that you can get from Lowes it uses Simpson strong ties metal plates and 2x4's. It is customize-able so you can builld in a work bench and make everything the size you want. It is industrial looking thou.

I got some used base and wall hanging cabinets, painted them and hung them on the side of the garage walls so I had maximum room to pull in and have access front and rear. I also keep a rolling tool chest next to the base cabinets that can be moved around as necessary. I am fortunate to have a three stall garage, so I do have a bit of flexibility.

Just recently started remake of my garage and added wall cabinets and stand alone cabinets to the garage. Between Lowes and Sears I got great deals on the cabinets. They are made by Gladiator. Still need to configure where to put the parts washer and relocated the air compressor. All in all I have about $900.00 worth of cabinets. Next is the floor.

I just picked up some 4', 3-door utility cabinets (note the doors are all different) at a salvage store, and painted them.

We just remodeled our kitchen and moved all the old kitchen cabinets into the garage.....point being, look for some good used kitchen cabinets for your garage. Used kitchen cabinets are cheap and great for storage.

Sinister-0ne,
Two weeks ago I installed wall cabinets on my garage walls. I bought them from lowes. There the unfinished oak kitchen cabinets. I bought 3EA 36x30 double door cabinets and one 18x30 cabinet. Mounted, stained, and finished in abot two days and the total cost was about 400.00 for everything if I remember correctly.
Good luck!
