The trustworthy garage can be a haven for so many things in one’s Fort Myers real estate for sale, from the convertible to the kids’ dirt bikes and even storage for that unattractive luggage that you just can’t throw out. Some folks even keep their old barbeques stashed in their garages as well. Better yet, people even create gyms out of their garages, avoiding the monthly expenses and other hassles associated with corporate gyms. Of course, others prefer to use the space in their garages for organized storage on shelves.
There are two types of shelves that are normally found in the proprieties on the market in and around South Florida. First, there is site built shelves. Homeowners often choose this type of shelving due to its low cost. Folks can also rely on site built shelves to come in a wide variety of sizes. Need small shelves, no problem. Want giant shelves that line the whole side of the garage? That’s easy to do as well, as long as you use site-built shelves. All you have to do is drive to one of the big stores like Home Depot and you can find everything you will need to start and finish a project in your garage.
These shelves are almost always made from plywood, if not lumber being used as shelves. After everything is mounted into place, it is smart to add a brace to every stud. Doing so will give your shelves extra strength to hold that old set of encyclopedias.
Shelves also are seen sitting on the floor in plenty of garages. People usually run them along the floor on a wall. Then they can build other shelves on top. Some can reach as high as the ceiling. Just make sure you can access the stuff inside your shelves without hurting yourself by falling off a ladder. Normally, the dimensions for these shelves is 19 x 25 inches. Of course, these can vary both horizontally, as well as vertically. It depends on an individual’s personal tastes, as well as the need for storage space. For instance, a small storage space that won’t hold any boxes is no more than a waste of valuable space in any home for sale in Fort Myers.
Of course, just because a storage space isn’t large doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the space. It can be used for everything from memorable bottles to jars of coins. Some men and women place their tools in the smaller storage space in their garages, while others hide items ranging from old dog toys to expensive Christmas presents. After all, most husbands and wives aren’t going to accidentally find a gift if it is hidden in a small storage space in a home for sale.
In time, just about everybody will need storage space in his or her Fort Myers luxury home for sale. That’s why you should always leave room to grow. After all, who knows who will be moving into the place next.
