Sick of Tripping Over Boxes in the Garage? Let’s Move Them Overhead.

If your garage is full of boxes, tools, and clutter with nowhere else to put them, you’re not alone. Most garages are used as overflow storage, but too often, the ceiling space above is completely wasted.

Whether you’re a new homeowner, a growing family running out of room, or an empty nester looking to get organised, garage boarding is the simple, effective way to maximise your space. It’s ideal when your loft is full or inaccessible, and you need a safe, smart alternative.

What Is Garage Boarding?

Garage boarding is the installation of raised storage platforms in the ceiling area of your garage, transforming otherwise unused overhead space into secure, accessible storage.

Boards are installed across joists or with supporting structures, giving you a safe place to store everything from Christmas decorations to camping gear, without affecting your car parking or head clearance.

It’s a smart, long-lasting solution to a common problem: not enough storage and too much stuff on the floor.

Garage Boarding vs Shelving

Traditional shelving can help, but it takes up wall and floor space, and isn’t always safe for heavier items.

Garage boarding offers more:

• More space – Utilises vertical clearance without eating into your floor.
• Greater strength – Holds heavier items like suitcases or toolboxes with ease.
• Better safety – Professionally fitted and structurally supported, unlike some freestanding shelves.
• Cleaner look – Keeps your garage tidy and open, not boxed in.

If you’ve outgrown shelving, garage boarding is your next step.

What Can You Store Above?

You might be surprised just how much can go up and out of the way once your garage is properly boarded.

Ideal for:

• Christmas decorations and seasonal items
• Camping or holiday gear
• Archive boxes and keepsakes
• Tools, DIY kits, and spare parts
• Suitcases, coolers, and occasional-use items

Our garage boarding systems are built to support substantial weight loads, and we’ll advise on best practice for safe storage.
