Your Garage - The New You

Not simply a storage unit or holding space for cars, the garage is reconceived in this innovative design book, Your Garagenous Zone: Innovative Ideas for the Garage, as a "flex" space for family members that can be clean, organized, and functional (and still house cars).

Your Garagenous Zone: Innovative Ideas for the Garage - provides you with creative ideas for making the garage into a multipurpose room include placing a television on a wall swivel and moving the treadmill into the garage to create a family gym. Feng shui tips, an overview of garage-design trends over the past 100 years, and speculations about how garages will look in the year 2020 provide a revealing perspective on the importance of transforming the dark, dingy cavern in American homes into a bright, desirable living space.

Provide Enough Space for the Car 

For most people though, the number one purpose of the garage is to house the car. If you suffers from parking inaccuracy, try the Park-Zone PZ-1500, a handy gadget that uses a ultrasonic sensor to ensure the car is where you want it. If you live in a wet or snowy climate, the CARPAD 218078 extends beyond the length and width of your automobile, features a 1-inch rounded flexible edge on all sides, and can contain over 60 gallons of of rain, snow, salt, slush, dirt, grease, and grime. Invest in a Racor PWG-1R Wall Guard to protect your garage walls and your car doors. Is just getting into your garage a hassle? Upgrade your garage door with a Chamberlain PowerDrive PD422D and open and close the door from the comfort of your car.

The New You 

"Only 15 % of homes with two-car or larger garages actually use them for storing the car. That tells quite a bit about how Americans overload their garages...Moving to an area where homes don't have basements, it was essential for us to make the most of our garage space. I appreciate the tips and the array of fancy organizing systems shown in the book. We ended up putting in some shelves hanging from the rafters, plus open steel shelving for more convenient access. Maybe not as picture perfect as some shown, but works for us." A customer review of Your Garagenous Zone.
