Fall is the perfect time to give your garage a little reset before winter moves in. As summer gear gets packed away and outdoor projects wind down, take a few extra minutes to give everything a proper home. From hoses and pool gear to bulky equipment and tangled cords, here’s how to get your garage organized and ready for those dreaded colder months.
1. Put the Garden Hose Away for the Season
After months of watering flowers, washing cars, and tackling other outdoor projects, the garden hose has earned a break.
Drain and dry the hose, coil it neatly, and secure it with an Easy-Carry Storage Strap. With a 100 lb capacity and built-in carry handle, it’s made for keeping bulky items bundled up and easy to move.
Hang it somewhere accessible, and next spring, you’ll be able to grab the handle and go instead of wrestling with a tangled hose.
2. Give Your Leaf Blower a Lift
Fall cleanup is about to make your leaf blower one of the hardest-working tools in the garage, but that doesn’t mean it needs to take up floor space.
Get it up and easy to access with Heavy-Duty Storage Straps, which hold up to 50 lbs and feature a durable stainless steel grommet for hanging bulky gear.
Or, reach for Hook ’n Hang with a carabiner that holds up to 150 lbs, making it a great option for larger or heavier equipment.
Either way, you’ll free up some much-needed floor space and keep your leaf blower ready for its next round of fall cleanup.
3. Store Pool Equipment
The pool may be closed for the season, but the floats, hose, and accessories all need somewhere to go until next summer.
Clip 'n Carry makes it easy to bundle, transport, and store bulky items like your pool hose, and holds up to 50 lbs.
Pool noodles are great at floating around the pool. Not so great at floating around your storage space. Bundle them with Super-Stretch Storage Straps, which stretch up to 1.5x their original length to keep them neat and together for next summer.
4. Put the Pressure Washer Away for Winter
Before you tuck away the pressure washer, make sure the cord and hose aren't coming along for the ride as one giant tangled mess.
Twin-Straps feature a second hook-and-loop end, making it easy to attach them to bars, railings, hooks, and more!
And while you might reach for your Shop Vac a few times this winter, you might as well get that organized too so it’s ready and easy to access when you need it!
5. Get Your Cords Under Control
Cold weather might turn the garage into the new hangout spot once patio season is over. If you'll be spending more time out there this winter, take a few minutes to get those tangled cords under control for easy access!
Heavy-Duty Storage Straps are great for larger cords, hoses, and more, while Quick-Straps keep smaller cords, power strips, and rope neatly bundled and easy to grab.
And just like that, your garage is ready for winter (even if you're not 😅). Summer gear is tucked away, bulky equipment is under control, and everything you’ll need during the colder months is easy to find and use.
