5 Tractor Supply Finds To Help You Organize Your Garage

Millions of Americans own a garage, either attached to their home or sitting freestanding on their property. If you don't own a garage, you may feel a pang of envy as you clear snow off the windshield and roof of your vehicle and when you have to dart outside into the rain — but perhaps you shouldn't be too envious. More than one-third of those with garages report that they're full of so much stuff, they can't actually park their vehicle inside.

Organizing your garage, whether you use it simply for storage or as a workshop, can be an expensive and time-consuming proposition. You may want to do an inventory and clean-out first, but you also have to decide how you want to organize your tools, cleaning supplies, and other garage staples. If your garage is not climate-controlled, you should also consider how these storage solutions will hold up to temperature changes and moisture, and remind yourself that there are some things you should never store in your garage, like batteries and propane tanks. Here are five Tractor Supply finds that will help you upgrade your garage and reclaim valuable square footage.

Tractor Supply sells a variety of tool boxes, but you may be looking for a solution that saves space and keeps your tools at the ready. This pegboard is an inexpensive way to organize tools in your garage, and is a good pick if you don't have enough to fill a larger wall pegboard. Typically $29.99, the organizer is on sale at Tractor Supply for $26.99 at time of writing. The kit includes two 2.5-inch x 16-inch pegboard strips that can be mounted either individually or side-by-side. You will also receive five assorted tool storage hooks, one hanging bin made of plastic, one hammer holder, and a screwdriver holder that will store six screwdrivers.

If you already have ¼-inch pegboard pegs at home, you can use them on this organizer, along with magnets on the steel portion. The kit is made in the United States and can be easily installed in just a few minutes with the included mounting hardware. The product weight in total is four pounds and these should be mounted directly into studs or sheet rock. In addition to your garage, these pegboards are a useful addition in your workshop, shed, or craft room. Interested buyers should note that this product is only available online.
