If anyone comes across good deals on storage + boxes, please do shoot me a PM or post link here. I'm on the hunt for a tall metal cabinet, a work table of some sort, and a tool box. Tool storage wise thats all I will need for now. I'll deal with wall organization/slatpanel stuff later this year.

Costco has their tool box back for 2019....

I think they're $750 if you pickup in store. And was reading that some old 2018 stock has been marked down to $500ish in some locations. Probably overkill for most garages but why not.

Recent update, very happy I've gotten most of the stuff off the floor, installed the ceiling storage and wheel hooks.

I think @Cagare is pretty heavily invested into it. Or was.

Anyone have any recommendations for flooring in a newly built garage? I'm not looking to break the bank here but at the same time, I would like something that will not peel or flake off. Initially, I was looking at some foam flooring as I like the idea of not having cold, hard concrete on my back if I'm working on the floor under a car but then I thought about a jack and jack stands on there and cutting right into it. My brother had painted his garage but it was peeling pretty badly and he will have to repaint the entire thing again so that is a bit of a turn off. My contractor recommended something from Home Depot that is also a paint on surface but he was saying that it will never peel off but I can't remember what it was. Either way, I would like something that hides dirt quite well, won't peel easily or at all and something that can make the garage look sort of automotive-like. Oh yeah, and I don't want to have to sell my kid to get it!

I've tried 3 different garage floor kits from HD and they all peeled after 2-3 years. My R comp Toyos peeled it up very easily after the first season.

I had a buddy that did foam tiles, he did not glue them down or anything. Once a little bit of water gets on the concrete underneath the tiles, they slide very easily. I would not recommend the tiles unless you glue them down somehow.

Two questions with the foam tiles. Firstly, if they were interlocking tiles, would they still be sliding if they are all one and attached together? Secondly, did he have issues with sharper/heaver objects cutting into them like jacks and floor jacks? I also read that if you're doing any grinding or metal cutting, the hot shards or bits would burn right through the foam. Same with any chemicals that are corrosive. On the good side, it would be pretty easy to replace I'd imagine.

I'm almost at the 4 year mark with my garage flooring and it's still almost as good as new, totally worth it IMO. Not sure if you'd consider it bank breaking or kid selling for the cost ($3K). I wash it once a year and the only part that is tougher to get perfectly clean is the tire tracks. See my post somewhere in here - https://forums.beyond.ca/threads/369...ge-floor/page2

Yes they were interlocking. If you stopped hard while walking it would easily slip out a tile or two even though they interlocked.

As for having the tiles tearing up. No issues there. He actually had a pool table and Foosball table in there for a while. They did not tear the tiles.

Oh, those are nice! I see they are made in Canada. What was the cost to have that done?

[cars5431]

Can install in couple hours yourself, goes pretty quick just snapping together. If I remember correctly around $1500 I think

How does that stuff deal with winter salt water?
