Garage Storage Solutions

[cidley69]

I'm probably not only guy that has to fend of the use of garage for a catch all of misc stuff, especially big baby/kid stuff.

Would be good if wife could access it without my help, which makes hooks on ceiling not a great choice.

Anyone have good ideas for how to store stuff like bikes, chariot, stroller, etc. without taking up floor space?

Pulley system.

Works pretty good, I use those for my truck topper. You can get a two pack for the same price off Amazon though.

Op said those wouldn't work for him ;) happy wife happy life...

That said Costco had a lovely winch based pulley shelf - with a key fob remote (press button once it stows to preset height, press again it drops to floor)

Andy, that sounds awesome (but expensive), what it called and how much it go for?

Can't find on the website - no clue on the name - but I know someone here does ;)

Wasn't too dissimilar from the electric winches they show - except it had a big shelf attached...

No he didn't, he said hooks wouldn't work, those are pulleys. A 5year old could use those, lol.

Ok let's be real - we know how wives are with kidlets ;) there's a reason power sliding minivan doors and kick the bumper or press the keyfob open the truck/hatch/tailgates exist...

Mom with kids = better be able to just press a button or dads dealing with it later ;)

Costco has one called "Garage Gator". A friend of mine installed the electronic lift and it looks great.
