3 Ways to Improve Garage Functionality

 

 

Heavy-duty flooring, a reliable garage door and ample bench space are three essential elements of a functional garage. Here are three tried-and-tested products and DIY upgrades to add style and functionality to your garage this weekend: 

 

Epoxyshield garage floor coating kit

An epoxy floor coating is the best choice for hard working garage floors.

Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield garage floor coating kit applies in one easy coat and protects against gasoline, antifreeze, motor oil, salt, hot tire pick-up and cracking.

Each kit covers 250 sq. ft. and is available in Grey or Tan. For best results, top coat with Rust-Oleum Premium Clear Coating for ultra protection and a high-gloss finish.

Surface can be walked on in 1-2 days and driven on in 3 days.

Wall mount garage door opener

The Chamberlain wall mount opener mounts to the wall on either side of the garage door, freeing up ceiling space and reducing noise and vibration in living spaces near the garage.

Other features include ultra-quiet operation, battery back-up during power outages and an automatic garage door deadbolt for added security.

The unit has built-in wifi for smartphone control with the myQ app and works in conjunction with Amazon Key and Walmart+ InHome, which allows secure in-garage package delivery.

 

WBSK workbench hardware kit

The Simpson Strong-Tie WBSK workbench and shelving hardware kit provides the connectors and connector fasteners to build a solid workbench or shelving unit.

Connectors make strong and durable corner connections with 2x4 lumber without angle cuts or bolts.

Each kit contains enough connectors to construct one workbench. Two kits are necessary to build a four-shelf unit. With the WBSK kit, a professional quality project can be customized and completed in a couple of hours. Lumber and pegboard sold separately.
