We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

If you've been living in your house for a few years, can we ask: How does your current garage set-up compare to the one you envisaged when you first viewed it? Did you install that slatwall for your gardening tools, or are they currently languishing in an unloved pile on the floor? Did your old bike end up on the wall, like you promised it would when you insisted upon bringing it with you, or is it now just getting in the way? We'd be willing to bet that, if you're reading this article, your current approach to garage storage is leaving much to be desired. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way.

If you live near a Home Depot, you'll find that it's stacked to the ceiling with ideas to organize your garage space. To help you find the best of them, we've ferreted through different storage categories, from slatwall systems and workbenches to sturdy storage bins and shelving. Every item below is rated at least 4.6 stars, and each has been reviewed by at least 200 real users. A detailed methodology will follow later, but for now, if you're ready to organize your garage, then this guide is as good a place as any to get started. Prices may vary.

One of the simplest ways to organize your garage tool kit like a pro is to match your storage solutions to the tools you use. Nowadays, several big-name brands produce their own dedicated storage systems. Milwaukee is one of them. This 6-pack of Packout Mounting Plates is part of Milwaukee's Packout storage system. The plates can be mounted on your garage walls, or fixed on the floor — whichever works best in your garage. Each plate is made with impact-resistant materials, with connectors that pair with Milwaukee's wider Packout storage and accessory range. Mounted on the wall, the plates can hold up to 50 pounds each. On the floor, that doubles to 100 pounds.

The pack currently costs $148, and enjoys a strong customer rating of 4.8 out of 5. More than 500 users have reviewed it to date, and of those, 89% awarded it full marks. The plates are widely praised for making organization easy. And while they would be useful in the garage, professional tradespeople have also used them to organize the shelves in their vans.

If your collection of neon-green equipment is growing, then, like for Milwaukee, it's possible to find dedicated storage solutions for Ryobi tools. The brand's Link 20-Piece Wall Storage Kit is part of that collection. Starting with the price, it currently retails at Home Depot for $557.94, meaning it's not the cheapest item in this guide. But it does include a surprising amount of equipment.

It comes with six modular wall-mounted rails, plus a wide selection of steel hanging hooks. These, Ryobi says, can be used for hanging various items, including power tools, hand tools, ladders, and more. Each rail can hold up to 75 pounds per linear foot, making them useful for heavier tools. Also included is a rolling toolbox, with three stacked tool chests, plus the Speed Bench mobile workstation, which doubles as a hand truck.

At 4.7 out of 5, the set is only marginally lower-rated than the Milwaukee Packout mounting plates. But whereas they've been reviewed by around 500 users, this kit from Ryobi has been rated by more than 2,020. Of those, 82% gave the set 5 stars. Customers have praised the toolboxes, in particular, for providing sturdy and spacious storage.

One of the best ways to organize smaller garages is with a slatwall system. They're designed to capitalize on your vertical wall space and are often drilled straight into the studs, meaning they can support plenty of weight. The slats themselves allow you to attach various hooks and hangers, which make it easier to store a variety of items. If you're looking for a slatwall system at Home Depot, Gladiator's 48-inch Wall Storage GearWall Panel (2-pack) is a well-reviewed option. Each 4-foot panel can hold up to 50 pounds per square foot. They can be mounted on your studs, which is likely to offer the strongest result, but can also be fitted to drywall. The panels are modular; use them separately or combine them to create a larger storage area. They are also compatible with Gladiator's range of cabinets and garage hooks.

The 2-pack currently costs $69.99. It's rated 4.8 stars, making it the highest-rated storage system of its kind at Home Depot. To date, 86% of over 200 users gave it top marks. Some praised the panels' longevity. Others were just as pleased with the panels' sturdiness as they are with the way that they look. One user said, "Not only have I opened up space in the corners of my garage so I can put in cabinets, I also still have the space on the floor to use beneath the tools."

There are lots of ways you can use a pegboard to organize your home. They can be great in the kitchen, helping to keep pots, pans, and other utensils from cluttering up the countertop. In the garage, like a slatwall system, they can help keep your tools organized and prevent them from tripping you over. Wall Control's 32-inch by 48-inch Metal Pegboard is the highest-rated product of its kind at Home Depot. Anchored securely, it can hold up to 200 pounds of equipment, which Wall Control says is 10 times stronger than conventional pegboards. The kit comes supplied with 20 hooks and brackets, as well as all of the required installation hardware.

The pegboard costs $115.32, and at 4.9 stars, it's one of the highest-rated garage storage solutions in this guide. Over 290 users have reviewed the product, with 86% having awarded it 5 stars. It's praised widely for helping homeowners to organize their tools and free up space. It's also well regarded for being relatively straightforward to install. "I smile every time I pass it in my garage, as it is so neat and organized!" one user said.

Whichever power tool system you use, keeping your batteries in fine fettle is key to ensuring the tools continue to serve you well. And while different manufacturers have slightly different guidance on this, many of the tips for making Ryobi tool batteries last are the same as those for any other brand. One of the most important is keeping them clear of the ground, or indeed anywhere that they could become damaged.

Ryobi's Link One+ Battery Shelf, currently priced at $14.98, is designed to help you do that. On garage walls already fitted with Ryobi's Link storage system, this shelf simply "clicks" into place. And it's designed to store any combination of (up to four) Ryobi One+ batteries.

Rated 4.9 stars, it shares the crown of "top rated" product within Home Depot's "Garage Hooks" category. However, it has more reviews than most of its competitors. More than 260 buyers have reviewed the shelf to date, with 87% of those giving it 5 stars. It's generally praised as a useful set for Ryobi tool owners, especially those with a pre-existing Link storage set-up. "As my Ryobi collection gets larger I started running out of places to put all my batteries," said one buyer. "This Link One+ battery shelf solves a lot of the congestion and mess on my workbench."

Tool storage racks are among the most popular storage ideas for home DIYers. They're usually quick and easy to install, and provide immediate relief for cluttered floor spaces by providing spots to hang an array of awkwardly-shaped and sized tools. Right Hand's 8-Piece Wall-Mounted Tool Storage Rack hangs up to 800 pounds of equipment. It's supplied with the stud-mounting hardware required to install it, and features two powder-coated rails and six assorted hanging hooks. Also worth noting is that, according to Right Hand, it's up to five times stronger than regular shelving.

The set currently costs $49.99. It's the only other product in Home Depot's "Garage Hooks" category to match Ryobi's battery storage shelf, sharing an identical rating of 4.9 stars, and similar number of reviews. Over 260 people have rated this particular tool rack, and of those, 88% gave it top marks. It's lauded as a worthwhile, robust, and reliable alternative to pegboard storage — one that's also easy to install. "The Right Hand storage rack is like having an extra set of hands in my shed," said one user.

Whether you're sawing wood, assembling heavy parts, or re-treating items with paint or stains, a workbench is a valuable addition to most garages. Husky's 2-Drawer Adjustable Height Black Work Table also features built-in storage across two drawers, which is useful for keeping your most commonly-used tools and hardware to hand. Each drawer stores up to 35 pounds of equipment. The worksurface, with its protective coating, provides 52 by 24 inches of space to keep your messy work away from the kitchen counters. The table can bear up to 300 pounds of weight, and includes casters to move it to wherever you need it. You can also use the four included leveling feet to ensure a flat, stable surface, should you choose to keep it in one spot. Finally, it features a manual crank, which enables you to raise or lower the work surface, depending on what you're working on.

If you'd rather buy a solution than DIY your own garage workbench, this particular product is worth considering. Technically, it's not the highest-rated product within Home Depot's "Workbench" category, as it's one of several that are rated 4.8 stars. But it has by far the most reviews at 9,440. Customers agree that it's solid, easy to assemble, and conveniently adjustable. "The space on the tabletop is more than adequate for my projects and the adjustable height is a great feature. Great value for a workbench," one user said.

Sometimes, the easiest solutions are the most obvious. One of the most overlooked garage storage ideas is the simple inclusion of shelves. They can be used for boxes, tools, batteries, cans of paint, and a variety of other items that commonly clutter up garages. HDX's 77-inch wide 4-Shelf Black Metal Shelving Unit and Storage Tote Combo promises a degree of versatility with shelves that adjust in 1½-inch increments. Each shelf can hold up to 2,500 pounds of weight (assuming even distribution). It includes four shelves, each 77 inches wide, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. It also comes supplied with four HDX black and yellow storage totes.

Altogether, the bundle currently costs $234.92. It's one of several HDX shelving sets to achieve 4.8 out of 5 stars in the ratings. However, this particular set has the most reviews. In fact, more than 7,670 users have taken the time to leave feedback, and of those, 86% gave it top marks. Both the shelves and totes are praised for their sturdy build, and together, the set is a grab-and-go option for buyers looking to organize cluttered spaces.

Of all the items we commonly keep in our garages, bikes are perhaps the most cumbersome. Even if they're tucked up against the wall, spiky pedals have a happy habit of poking out and catching our shins as we attempt to shimmy past with the lawn mower. A bike rack is perhaps one of the best ways to store your bike indoors, and there are several types you can choose from. Robtec's Black 1-Bike Heavy Duty Hoist Garage Bike Rack works via a pulley system, which helps to raise and lower your equipment. It's fitted with a safety lock to prevent the bike from slipping once stored, plus rubber hooks that attach to the frame without damaging the paint.

It's the highest-rated product in Home Depot's "Bike Racks" category. More than 290 users have reviewed it, with 69% having awarded it top marks, lending to an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5. Customers like how easy it makes storing their bikes, reducing the need to strain themselves while simultaneously de-cluttering their garage floors.

If you have lots of tools and equipment to store, that you regularly use around the house or for work, then hanging it all neatly on a wall may be impractical. Instead, it might be easier to store it all in a dedicated toolbox that you can pick up and take whenever you need it. Milwaukee's Packout 20-inch 2-Wheel Utility Cart Kit (3-piece) is supplied with both a large and regular-sized toolbox, useful for carrying a variety of tools and accessories.

All items are part of Milwaukee's Packout range, meaning that, if you have Packout plates installed on your garage wall, you can hang each item out of the way. The set can also help you lug a considerable amount of equipment around, thanks to the cart's 400-pound load-bearing capacity.

Currently, you can buy the set for $369. It's rated 4.8 stars, with over 2,928 customer reviews to date. 84% of those gave the kit 5 stars, including plenty who praised the Packout system's versatility, quality, and durability. Both homeowners and professionals have hailed the set's usefulness, not least its ability to hold lots of gear. One buyer also noted that "the materials feel premium, and the locks and handles are durable and reliable."

A workbench, for many homeowners, is key to a serviceable garage. But in smaller spaces, it's important to have furniture that's as functional as possible. A mobile workbench is a good place to start, especially if you source one that has built-in storage, like Husky's Mobile Workbench and Tool Cabinet.

It features an 883 square-inch worktop, which should provide ample room for various tasks or bench-based equipment. A 21-gauge steel frame is designed for durability and rust-resistance, and it can bear up to 1,500 pounds of equipment. That can be spread across nine drawers, each of which can support up to 100 pounds. And if you have a bench saw, battery chargers, or other equipment that needs a mains supply, the unit includes an integrated power strip. This includes six mains outlets, plus two USB ports. There is also an internal keyed locking system, for keeping things secure from children, or for when you're away from the house.

It's rated 4.6 stars — the highest-rated product in Home Depot's "Mobile Workbenches" category. Over 2,300 users have reviewed the Husky workbench and 78% gave it full marks. Customers cited various reasons for this, although many boil down to the unit's sturdy build quality. Easy assembly is another positive, plus the amount of storage space. Some buyers even found use for it as additional storage in the kitchen.

In order to ensure variety when selecting the products for this guide, we focused on eight different garage storage categories at Home Depot. These categories included Track Systems, Slatwall Panels, Pegboards, Garage Hooks, Mobile Workbenches, Shelving, Bike Racks, and Tool Carts. From each category, we chose the highest-rated item for inclusion. Where comparable products within a given category had similar overall ratings, we selected the product with the highest number of reviews.
