Did you know? How could you not? It’s National Clean Out your Garage Day!
Did you know nearly four in 10 people (39 percent) have tripped over an item in their garage, more than a quarter (27 percent) have hit an object when opening a vehicle door and 22 percent have accidentally hit something when parking? Yeah, not cool.
I’m one of those people that insists on parking in the garage so I need to keep it clear…I also use my garage a lot for all of my DIY projects so it has to stay organized too. I recently built my DIY Patterned Pegboard to help me keep my tools and DIY supplies organized and within reach. I also installed some wall systems to get our yard tools off the ground and out of the way (helps to keep them out of reach for the little ones too!)

OOh my. We need this. Bad. Our garage is an absolute disaster area. I’m pretty sure it used to be a chicken coop at some point too, so it’s not really full of all the organizational bells and whistles. We really do intend to clean it out… one day! Maybe this will be the kick-start we need!

Absolutely needs a clean out!!! Messssssy!!
my husband and i were just discussing re-organizing the garage! we need help! our diy projects have taken over!
YES!!! We need this bad!!! We have 4 cars in the driveway and “0″ cars in the garage! My youngest daughter just moved back home after 5 years in college and decided to take over the garage to “paint” 2 dressers, night stand, bookcase and vanity. This project has taken farrrrrr too long!! Do you think she will believe that there really IS a National Clean Out Your Garage Day??? I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Then there is what to do with all the boxes and plastic crates that recently was her apartment. So I really could use all the organization you have to offer!!
horribly messy
thanks
Fun! Our garage is currently filled with closet components, but we do usually park both cars there. I have to admit I once tripped over the board I used to tell me when to stop the car and ripped off (violently) a whole toe nail. Gross! And Ouchy! Every bit of organization that can be gained in the garage is a must!
It is very messy
My garage is a disaster area! I really need some help with organization : )

Can’t even walk in there! We are having a garage sale in a few weeks, and this would help with the cleanup!
My garage is so messy it is beyond words. lol
Messy??? Well, if you consider that you can’t even get in the door as it being messy… lol We live in an apartment with a detached garage and store EVERYTHING in there!!! UGH! I NEED these products to help me out a little!!!
This sure would solve alot of my problems with a messy garage.
Mine isn’t messy but needs things for storage b/c we actually use it to park cars, gasp.
It’s messy. I won’t even go in there for fear I might get lost.
right now it is OK, but usually it is a nightmare
Our garage is a mess and I’ve been saying we need to organize it for a long time now.
It’s not terrible, but it’s not good either!
Its not too bad, but with the way we are facing, we get alot of wind and dirt that blows in. I really need help with organizing though!
I don’t have a garage so not messy at all. But i’d like to win for my dad.

It’s a hot mess!
My garage is horrible. I hate going in it to do laundry.
Our garage is half organized and half messy. We just have too much stuff out there.
Dirt no, unorganized yes.. I feel lost sometimes when I am in there looking for anything

My garage isn’t too messy, but being the clean freak that I am, I would always love it to be more organized.
It’s pretty unorganized

Our garage is not very messy but we can always use a little more organization.
Oh my, it is so messy that – not only can it not hold A car, being a TWO car garage – but it’s hard for a person to even walk around in it! : /
there is stuff everywhere
very messy
My garage is a nightmare! With all of our summer stuff (which we are still using) and all of our fall stuff (which we are beginning to use) and all of our winter stuff (which we’ll be using soon), it’s a crazy mish mash of stuff!

VERY!!!
I won’t go in their. Instead, I throw the pop bottles and recyclables from the door.
My husband actually keeps it fairly clean, but sometimes things get out of control and the garage tries to eat us.
Have you seen that show “Hoarders?” Well, it’s not THAT bad. But I FEEL like it is every time I go out there! Yikes!!
MESSY since the move 6 months ago its still a bit crazy lol
it could be worse but always needs a cleanin
it could be worse!
My garage isn’t really messy…I back my Suburban into the middle of the garage every night…but it does need to be more organized. I have brooms & shovels & rakes in almost every corner!
Our garage is very messy and we have a basement that is equally messy. Plus we just had flooding in the basement, so it is very important to get it organized and things off the ground in case that happens again. We have a family of 5 (plus 3 cats and a guinea pig) so it gets quite messy!
Its very messy
Its not too bad, but could use a good cleaning
Our garage is super messy
We have so many stuffs in there and don’t even want to throw them away!
It’s only a little messy. But this could clear it all up. Good thing we only have one car!! kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
WHat garage? I’m pretty sure it’s a bunker of boxes now!
My garage really isn’t too awful messy. We have a 2 car garage and can actually park 2 cars in there but we really do need to organize the lawn tools!
It’s pretty messy in terms of the stuff that’s piled in there but most of the stuff is organized but I’d still say it’s pretty darn messy!
I try and keep it clean, but always turns into a mess!!!!
Its pretty bad. We have an open carport type one where all tools and things get stored so we use it constantly for DIY crafts which means EVERYTHING gets put under there eventually!
Not too bad, my husband has lots of space so its not that packed
I could really use this my garage is extremely messy
Let’s just say that we haven’t been able to park our cars in the garage for almost 2 years now lol
