After all of the summer outdoor play and constant on the go family fun our garage looks pretty messy. Sports balls, jump ropes, sprinklers, coolers, and bicycles seem to be gathering in a pile on the concrete floor mixed with gardening supplies and tools. Can you relate? Fall (and Winter) are just around the corner, so our family needed to set aside time to get our garage cleaned up! We did it and here’s How You Can Get Your Garage Organized in 1 Weekend too!

One of the biggest problems I think people have is not taking advantage of the space in their garage. No matter how big or small your garage is, available wall space is often overlooked.

When we were at The Home Depot this past weekend and we came across the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Garage Organization System. This simple, customized system is a great way to clean up your garage and finally free up space so you can get prepared and organized for the upcoming months.

No more tripping over tools, toys and chairs and here in Western New York, that means being able to pull my car into the garage so I don’t have to get up early to scrape off ice and snow! Sounds good, right?!

To get started on your clean up, you’ll need to purchase Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Garage Hang Rails. These heavy steel construction rails are the base of this system and works with standard 16″ or 24″ stud spacing. It’s available in a 48 inch ($9.97) or 84 inch ($15.77) size. Installation can be done in a matter of minutes and each of your rails holds up to 1,750 lbs.!

After installing the rail or rails with the matching FastTrack® Garage Hardware Pack, and the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Wall Panel with the Wall Hardware Pack, my favorite part about this system is choosing the accessories you’ll need.

Everyone’s organization needs are different, so it’s nice to have a wide variety of accessories available that easily attach to your rail so you can create your very own, customized garage storage system. It can also change as your storage needs change!

I was really excited about this Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Vertical Bike Hook. Not only do my kiddos think that this is the coolest new way to store their bikes, but we won’t be accidentally knocking them over when they are parked. They are up and off the floor and I just love it!

We also added the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Wall Peg (4pk), the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Cradle, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Tray, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Rack, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Tool Loop (2pk), the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Utility Hook, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Utility Bin, the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® 2-Handle Hooks, and the Rubbermaid® FastTrack® Cooler Hook to complete our system.

With a minimal budget, our family was able to get our garage organized in only 1 weekend with the help of this system and we couldn’t be happier!
