Garage Ceiling Storage Ideas

Utilize garage storage space by using the ceiling to store items.


Doesn't the garage always seem to get cluttered faster than you would like? Has your parked car gradually become phased out of the garage? As you organize your garage, don't forget to utilize the ceiling. It can be the major space for plenty of items you use rarely or not at all.


Hang Your Kayak or Canoe


The garage ceiling is a perfect place to hang your kayak or canoe. There are many different types of kayak/canoe hoists and hooks. You want to choose one that has at least two slings that wrap around the widest parts of the kayak/canoe. This will prevent any warping.


Store Sporting Goods


Hide away your off-season sporting gear by using a series of hooks or ropes. Bicycles can also be suspended using heavy duty hooks and ropes. Ladders can also be suspended by ceiling joists and brackets. This is a great way to clear your garage and give your cars some more space.








Put Away Boxes


If your garage has enough ceiling space and your budget allows, you may consider getting pre-made overhead shelving units that can store boxed items. There are usually weight limits associated with different types of overhead shelving. Consider the weight and size type of items you want to store before you shop for overhead shelving.
