Shed Organization Tips

To get the most space in your 10×12 shed, here are some organizational tips. By making the most out of your wall and floor space, you can be sure to never run out of room. 

1. Shelves

This is an easy solution to most of your storage problems. Instead of throwing tools and other small-sized items on the floor, you can take any old shelving you have and put it in your shed to clear up space. 

2. Pegboard

This tip is very useful and fairly simple to set up. Making sure your tools are organized will not only grant you more space to use in your shed, but it will also save you time when you’re looking for them. Instead of rummaging through your shed, you can simply walk up to the pegboard and pick up the tool you need. 

3. Pallets

Using old pallets is a very unconventional way to maximize storage space but it is a very creative and effective solution to get more storage space. They can help you store garden tools, lumber organizers, and even bike racks.
