3. Shelving

The beauty (and beast) of garages, sheds and workshops is that stuff just accumulates. And we mean STUFF! Paints, pencils, string, rope, you name it! Create a home for the line-up of misfits with your PVC piping offcut, some glue and some pine. Different depths of pipe will create spaces for differently sized knick-knacks.

4. Holster 

From small tools like screwdrivers to large items such as brooms and rakes, the ideal garage has a space for everything. Give them their personalised home by creating a small strip of tiny holsters above your workstation for the little pieces and attach a row of PVC pipes along garage walls to house lawn tools.
