Getting Your Garage Summer Ready

Summer is right around the corner and your garage is messy and cluttered with no space to walk around.  Getting your garage organized for summer can make it a safer place for the kids and a great place to host outdoor parties with family and friends.

Here are a few simple tips to get your garage ready for some summer fun.

Clear the clutter

Pick items up off the ground, store loose items, and put away winter items you won’t be using for several months. This gives more space to keep summer items such as beach toys, kiddie pools, sun chairs, sandals, and other beach gear in a place where there is easy access to them.

Clean

Get rid of all dirt and debris on your garage floor by hosing it down. If necessary, use a household solution   to wash the floor.

Safely store hazardous chemicals and materials

You don’t want to ruin your summer outdoor activities with an unfortunate incident. Make sure to safely store away chemicals and hazardous materials. Although anyone can get accidentally hurt with equipment or sharp tools, kids are especially vulnerable to getting harmed.

Decorate

Make your garage more comfortable and appealing to your guests by decorating it with plants, flowers, and other items. If you’re throwing a party in your garage, decorate tables with party themed decorations and make sure there are enough chairs for everyone. Include a stereo in your outdoor party for more fun.

Have coolers handy

Have several coolers handy in your garage to keep drinks cold. On very hot summer days, it’s a wise idea to keep additional coolers for storing ice.

Create a walkway

Creating a walkway will make it easier for guests to move and for you to go back and forth between the inside of your home and the garage without any obstructions.

Organize your kitchen pantry

For easier access to food and drinks, organize your pantry for fast refills that don’t take away a lot of time.

Following these simple steps will get your garage summer ready and leave you feeling proud every time you open the garage door.
