I don't know how many times I get this question as a garage storage designer..."Where do we put the bikes??" Although this is a common question, it is not an easy one to answer. Unfortunately fitting bikes in an average 2 Car Garage (20x20) is tough especially if you want to fit those 2 cars in as well!!
We at Garage Envy have several solutions you can choose! Whether you decide on floor, wall or ceiling bike storage!

Dirt Bike Race Team Garage
Posted on August 30, 2011 by Wong Car Garage
Thought we'd share one of our Garage Envy successes! Just goes to show you can turn a 2 Car Garage into stylish and usable storage space! Kevin and Leann's family is dirt bike racing family. The name of their racing team is QFC Racing. They called Garage Envy because they needed the following: - A clean, efficient way to organize the team members gear.
- Several storage options for tools and an area for bike repair.
- A place to display the team's winning trophies.
- A floor system that would hold up to a large amount of car and dirt bike traffic wear and tear.

I Need More Garage Storage! But Where to Start?
Posted on June 28, 2011 by Wong Car Garage
Ok…you’ve decided on the scope of work. You want garage cabinets, flooring, walls and accessories. But which ones? Is there a difference? Of course there is!! When choosing what products to install remember that we’re talking about YOUR GARAGE! Super hot in the summer, freezing in the winter, wind blowing leaves and damp when rainy! Then there’s creepy crawlies and tiny furry creatures making your garage their permanent home. Dusty, dirty, cobwebby…you get my point.
First, before we think about any products, do you need construction services? Is your walls open to the studs? Do you have an actual ceiling or is it just a few 2×4 beams crisscrossed overhead? Do you have enough electrical outlets for your tools? tv? stereo? If you work a lot in the garage you may want to add insulation and drywall. Maybe even create a window. Now of course all these things are not necessary to install cabinets and wall systems, they are attached directly to the studs. But you will need a ceiling if you want to attach drywall or put up ceiling lofts.
For garage cabinets, consider what you will be using them for. Will you be storing heavy tools, files, paint cans, 5 years of tax receipts? If so, you will need sturdier cabinets then if you were just storing luggage, decorations and art supplies. You may want a workbench, but for crafts or mechanics? And then there is the look of the garage cabinets to consider as well.
For garage flooring, how often do you park your cars in at night? Does the oil leak? Does it get wet often? Or is it more of a hang out place for you and your kids? Do you have a work area in the garage? Is there already paint on the floor? Is the garage floor cracked or damaged?
For a garage wall system and accessories, what do you want to store on your garage walls? Bikes, tools, baskets, shelving, hooks, surfboards, car tires, garden tools? Do you want a seamless look or will the peg board or metal grids work for you? Are you walls concrete or wooden studs?
Follow the links for specific details on the quality of each garage product with info on measurements, brands, materials, cost comparisons, warranties and installation.

Hooks, Racks n' Baskets
Posted on June 7, 2011 by Wong Car Garage
All things considered, some of the best ways to organize any garage is with a simple, easily installed slatwall system. It beautifies the garage with a "finished" look, and can add a bit of color to the garage walls without painting (for instance, Garage Envy's Wallscape offers a variety of colors such as Deluxe White, Fog Grey and Hardrock Maple).
The result is a great looking slatwall system! Via the unique but universal tongue-and-groove design, you'll find that storing items in your garage can be neat and practical! Continue Reading

Garage Slatwall Accessories
Posted on August 11, 2009 by Wong Car Garage
As a former garage designer, many of my clients have asked for my opinion on how to best maximize the garage for storage purposes. Let's say we've agreed on the need for garage cabinets, a workbench, hanging ceiling racks and of course wallscape (slatwall) where we can't install cabinets because we need room to park our cars.But the thing that stumps most of my clients is "now that I have this beautiful wall storage accessories system, what do I need?"
First off, make sure you install a universal system! This means that the slats are spaced according to a universal measurement. In other words beware of companies that use their own space measurements because then you are limited to purchasing only their wall accessories. If you can use the universal accessories you will find more variety at cheaper prices online!
Now that that's taken care of and your garage looks amazing you need to use the walls for storage. There are several categories of wall accessories you can purchase.
- Tool and Garden -- rakes, brooms, smaller tools over workbench
- Bike Storage -- wall racks, ceiling pullies, side mounts for kids
- Ski, Snow and Skate - ski racks, snowboards, inline skates
- Kayak and Surf - wall and ceiling mounts
- Sporting Goods - ball baskets, fishing poll racks,
- Safety and Cleaning - paper towel holders, dome mirror, fire extinguisher
- Misc - hooks, shoe rack, baskets, shelving, tip out bins
This wall storage system is so convenient because hooks can be used to hold rakes but also to hang backpacks, bike helmets, or lawn chairs! You can move them around to different locations. So if you get a freezer or a new car and the door opens in a different place you can adjust your hooks or shelves accordingly!Feel free to give Garage Envy a call if you would like a professional designer consultation. We cover Ventura to San Diego. And of course there's always our online store.
