A modular rubber coating can be safely laid on a cement, asphalt, sand base and even directly on the ground.
2. When choosing the finishing material for the walls, you should already have an idea on how the indoor storage system will be organized.

The plywood is very practical and enduring, the painted wooden boarding is just beautiful, while wooden pergola in combination with metal hooks is already a great storage system.
3. When speaking of storage, among the available options, IKEA should be especially highlighted with their huge choice of suspended shelves. For example, you can purchase a small rack of galvanized steel or a multi-sectional storage system made of pine wood.
5. Install good lighting. In order to make your garage functional and safe, don’t save on lighting. Apart from sufficient general ceiling lighting, it is also recommendable to install some task lighting for the shelves and other storage systems.
