Put up a shelf system to stack it all in one area, mine's kinda cluttered but you can get the idea.
2x4's for the frame and plywood for the shelves. I can keep heavy totes and buckets up there without a worry of collapse from the weight.
The wood came from a haul-off. We just fastened it to the wall for support.

I think that looks really organized. Looks great. My place looks like the city dump most of the time...crap everywhere even with shelving and racking. I lost a large box of ram today when I was shifting piles of crap around

It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.

Nice! I have some steel racking in the garage, but it has totes for every darn house thing, the other is filled with Paint, But I do have a section at the end of the garage I could do this in- as soon as I get the doors for the house taken care of and out of that space! Thanks for the pic and tip!!!
