Are you getting the most out of your garage? If it’s simply extra storage for the junk you haven’t gotten around to throwing out, then the answer is probably no.
Why not turn your unusable space into a garage workshop? It will allow you to enjoy your projects or side business better. You can even add value to your home with this simple addition!
Follow these three easy steps to create your best garage workshop!
1. Plan Your Garage Workshop
Starting with a solid plan will make the transformation go a lot smoother. It also ensures that your garage workshop layout is the most efficient for your needs.
At this stage, consider how much space you will need for your work area, tools, and storage. Set up stations according to your workflow. Also, putting as many objects as you can on wheels makes your space more versatile.
Another thing to consider is adequate lighting and power. To do your best work safely, you need to be able to see what you’re doing. Plus, it streamlines your process when you don’t have to stop to find a plug or extension cord for your power tools.
Finally, keep ventilation and other safety needs in mind when you make your garage workshop design.
2. Buy Your Tools
Once you have a great garage workshop design, you can immediately start implementing your plan.
Remember that your tools don’t function alone. You will also need to buy storage, adapters or accessories, and the equipment to clean and care for them. If you were thorough in creating your plan, then this won’t be a problem.
Whether you buy professional or hobbyist tools depends on how you plan to use them.
Even if your workshop is just for building something during your spare time, professional tools are the way to go if you plan to get years out of them. If you’re planning on trying new things frequently, it may be better to purchase less expensive tools.
3. Call in the Professionals
You can do a lot by yourself to build your space, but you should get the best to do it if you want the best.
If your workshop needs major changes, like installing temperature control, extra wiring, or a floor coating, leave it to the professionals. The same goes if you’re building an entirely new space.
Getting outside help will increase your budget, but expert work will raise the value of your new workshop. It also guarantees safety, removes a lot of stress, and even shortens the project timeline.
You may even choose to let a professional look over your garage workshop layout and design before you start building it. They will have insights and expertise that can improve your workshop!
