Garage Organization & GIVEAWAY!!

Now, who doesn’t love a little garage organization??  I have been working on getting my shop revamped for the last few months.  I am slowly tackling every nook and cranny to make the most out of the space and use every inch 🙂  One of my latest projects to tackle was upgrading from the pegboard system I have been using as tool storage, to the Rubbermaid FastTrack system!  Can we talk about how much I LOVE this system??  Check out how I set it up!

Rubbermaid Garage Organization

This is my wall of tools that don’t get used as often… Minus the radio!  I love how I can hang my radio and it’s perfectly in reach all the time!

Garage Storage Idea

And the hanging baskets are perfect for holding my bagged tools and shop towels.  I also keep my Clorox wipes in there for when I spill stain and paint… Which happens fairly often 😉

Garage Wall Storage

This system has been a lifesaver.  No more stinkin’ silver pegboard hooks falling on the ground!  Game changer.  It was crazy easy to install too.

Everything runs on a rail system.  Each rail is a silver metal piece that is covered by a black plastic piece that slides over it.  The first step is attaching the silver rail to the wall.  I found and marked the studs in my wall, and then used my impact driver to drill 2.5″ screws into the studs.  A drill works perfectly for this part too!  I used my level on this part as well to make sure each rail was straight.

After attaching the silver piece, you just slide on the black plastic piece right over it.

Installing Rubbermaid FastTrack

Then, each attachment just clicks onto the rail.  SIMPLE.  AWESOME.

And, the attachments easily slide on the rails making it super easy to customize.  I love it.  Check out the rest of the space!

Garage Tool Organization

Love how these little hooks hold my jigsaws and sander…

 And remember my lumber storage rack I built?  I was using the pegboard system on the back to hold my drills and other tools I use on nearly every project.  Not anymore!

  1. My son is a new home owner and has recently become interested in building things. I want to encourage his new interest and this would be a great way to get them started

  2. I have been looking for a garage organization system that actually works! This looks amazing! I, too, am tired of the metal pieces falling out of our pegboard. My husband, much to my chagrin, leaves tools everywhere–from the basement, to the garage and wherever he was last working on a project. I am adding to my tool collection as I try some of these projects and need to organize everything so we stop wasting money on tools we already have!! Would love to win so I can get started! Thanks!

  3. This would be perfect to organize my new shed….storage, garden, and workshop all under one roof! Space is at a premium and boy, would this be awesome! Thanks for the opportunity to win it.

  4. This giveaway couldn’t have come at a crazier time. My husband and I just got in a big fight because he doesn’t think I am keeping my tools organized enough. I have no system and not a lot of space to even feel like I can get organized. This system would be a great first step and my husband would love you for it. I am a new builder but absolutely love doing it. If I could take some of the stress away from the spouse’s dislike, it would be even better!

  5. I would be using this system to organize my mess of a small garage! It would allow me to get rid of the repurposed dresser/console I’m currently using to store tools (so my curious littles don’t have access to them.). This FastTrack system looks so much more sturdy than a pegboard system…if I can get rid of that console, that clears up much needed floor space on the garage for me to use for more projects!

  6. My garage needs the Rubbermaid Fast Track system! I am currently working on organizing and this would work perfectly in the space! Thank you!

  7. I would use the Rubbermaid Fast Track system to organize all of the tools my husband keeps in our bedroom closet!! It would be amazing to have storage for out of season clothes, etc in the closet while the tools were perfectly organized in the garage!

  8. My husband has our garage in pure disarray. No method to the madness. Now that I am kicking it up a notch with my “Build like a girl” game, I will use it to organize our tools in a way that works for BOTH of us!

  9. I would use the Rubbermaid Fast Track system to organize my workshop. It would make my life so much easier while completing some of my Shanty2chic projects. Hope I win! Thank you!

  10. ThIs system would be perfect for our new garage! Since we moved in our house in April, our garage has been seriously lacking some organization. Sometimes it feels like my husband I are doing a circus routine in there trying to find tools we need! This Rubbermaid system would be a lifesaver.

  11. I would use the Rubbermaid FastTrack system to organize my laundry/craft/gardening room!!!!!

  12. This system would be great in my garage. I just finished building a shelving unit to hold all my lumber and of course still Love Love my Shanty work bench on wheels

  13. I am thinking I need 3-4 Rubbermaid FastTrack systems in my garage. One wall for all the yard tools and a basket for the smalls. The other wall done just like you girls have. I love being able to see all the power tools at a glance!
