A well-organised garage makes every job faster and more pleasant. Solid garage floor tiles or an epoxy coating stay clean, maintain grip and keep oil and chemicals on the surface so they're easy to wipe up. The floor is the foundation, everything above it you build around the work you do.

Storage, lighting and ventilation determine how efficiently your workshop functions. Wall racks, garage cabinets and tool rails give every tool a fixed place; good lighting reduces mistakes; ventilation makes working with chemicals responsible. Plan your space before you fit it out, adjusting afterwards costs more than thinking it through first.
