Garage Cabinets vs. Slatwall vs. Overhead Racks

Cabinets

Best for things you want hidden, locked or kept dust-free: chemicals, paint, power tools and small parts. They take up floor or wall space and are usually the biggest part of the budget.

Slatwall

Best for things you grab often and want to see: yard tools, bikes, cords and sports gear. Accessories move easily. Items stay exposed to dust.

Overhead racks

Best for things you use a few times a year. They use otherwise wasted space, but you need a ladder to reach them and they must be planned around the garage door.

Most garages use all three

A common layout is racks over the parking area, slatwall by the door, and a run of cabinets with a bench on the back wall. See garage makeovers.
