Four easy garage DIY projects to tackle these school holidays

Install wall shelves

Shelves are a great way to maximise the storage space in your garage with minimum effort and are fully customisable to your needs. Most importantly, shelves can free up valuable floor space in your garage. Shelves are also perfect for keeping dangerous items out of reach from children and for storing those small, easy to lose items such as bicycle repair kits, drill bits and accessories.

Bunnings has a huge range of garage shelving options. Check out their range.

Paint the floor

With cars, tools, bikes and kids, the garage door can get scuffed and dirty very easily. Painting the floor is an easy way to give your garage a fresh, clean look, and can bring some life back into your garage, just in time for summer!

Mitre 10 is a great destination for paint and decorating, stocking interior and exterior paints for all your painting need. Check out their range.

Organise your bits and bobs

While the garage is a great place for building and creating, sometimes the small items we need are lost amongst the chaos! Ensure you’re always within reach of the nut, bolt, screw, staple or nail you need with compartment organisers.

Bunnings has a great range of organisers for smaller garage items. Check out their range.

Install an automatic garage door opener

After a long day, the last thing you want to do is jump in and out of your car to open the garage door. A Chamberlain automatic garage door opener makes getting home easy, and with the Chamberlain myQ range, the innovative myQ technology allows you to monitor and control your garage door away from home (handy for when you forget to close the garage door, as it means you can close it with the push of a button remotely!).

It’s simple to install in a few hours; all you need is a ladder, socket wrench, spanner, screwdriver, tape measure, rope and a power drill. The perfect DIY job for the school holidays!
