Homemade products for the garage, new versions. Making homemade items for the garage

Video of the channel “TEXaS TV”. Topic: gadgets and more for the garage. At one time, when the master was just starting to repair cars, there was no money for a good tool. Complex and expensive designs had to be made by myself. The author of the channel decided to prepare a review of homemade devices.

Watch the YouTube channel video “Hands from Shoulders”. Excellent devices for the garage and cottage.

If you have an old vacuum cleaner lying around, you can put it back into service by repurposing it, for example, a blower. With its help, you can quickly clean some equipment from dust or restore order on the street. Will be needed sealing rubber bands, motor and part of the body. We redesign the button, leg, handles and get a compact and convenient device. To focus the flow in in this case fire extinguisher nozzle. There are probably plenty of other alternatives.

This summer we plan to build a similar dryer at our dacha. It can be used not only for fish, but also for meat, apples, and mushrooms. Cool option. There is a thermostat that maintains the required temperature in the chamber. Air intake from 150 ventilation pipe. It has a built-in heater consisting of two incandescent lamps. On top there is a mosquito net filter. Fan from a server rack. The outlets are directed to the street.

An interesting design of a milling copier. Movement along shafts with a diameter of 20 mm is carried out using linear bearings.

If you build something from foam blocks, then you have probably felt the beauty of lifting them to the floors. It's still a pleasure. Weight more than 30 kilograms. A simple grip design together with a winch or electric hoist will make work easier.

An improved version of the vice for welding work. Additional instructions were added to the device, which made it possible to connect parts in 3 planes at once.

At the beginning of May, the busy season begins for summer residents, including potato growers. If you have a walk-behind tractor, then it makes sense to think about automating the harvesting process. Moreover, we have a whole summer to prepare. This digger is of a screening type, but there is no sound in it as such. This greatly simplifies the process of making the device. Instead, the rods on the ploughshare were extended. The soil with potatoes is picked up by a ploughshare and served on a table made of twigs. The latter vibrates, the soil wakes up through the cracks, and the root crops on the other side fall to the ground. All that remains is to pick it up and put it in a container.

In a private home, a garden shredder is a useful thing. There is no need to think about where to put the cut branches. Secondly, your garden will repay such fertilizer with an excellent harvest. The knives are mounted on disks 16 mm thick. Cutting elements made from springs. Hammers for chopping branches to the required size.

The garage takes up a lot of space in the life of the stronger half of humanity, even if the family does not have a car. In addition to being used as a room for storing and servicing a car, the garage has a fairly wide range of functions, despite its rather limited area.

How can you arrange a garage?

First, let's look at several options for ergonomic use and design of the interior space of the garage:

  • In 99% of cases, a garage box has a rectangular shape in its internal configuration. Accordingly, the distance from the car to the side walls is not very large and is not comfortable for carrying out any work. The most common arrangement option is to move the work area (workbench, shelving or cabinets with tools and spare parts) to the rear of the garage, to the wall opposite the gate. This area may even have enough space to install some kind of necessary equipment, in addition to the workbench.
  • If in the garage big size If there is an additional room (utility room, electrical room), then on the surface of its door you can organize tool storage using a hanging sheet or put holders in the form of loops on it different sizes made of plastic and ordinary ropes.

  • The simplest option: if you cannot install a rack in the garage, you can place it at some distance from the wall metal grill. You can hang almost any objects, clothes and the like on it. You don't even have to install shelves.
  • Another way out is to attach hooks to any surface. There simply can’t be enough of them in the garage. You can make them yourself, or you can buy them at the supermarket. Significant savings in free space are guaranteed.

Little tricks for the garage

So, the garage has been purchased. On initial stage arrangement we will talk about buying pieces of furniture, most likely. Finding something that suits the owner and at the same time takes up a minimum of space is not so easy. The way out of this situation is to make the necessary pieces of furniture with your own hands.

Table with folding top – perfect option for a small garage. Such a stand does not take up much space, but can be a table with a very decent usable area. In its manufacture, the materials from which the old cabinet was made are often used.

Materials:

  • furniture hinges;
  • wood fasteners;
  • accessories;
  • wooden blocks;
  • anchor.

First, markings are made using a building or household level.

Next steps:

  • the block is drilled through and attached to the wall with anchors;
  • holes are marked and drilled in the future plane of the table and the area where the corners are attached;

  • the block and the tabletop are connected by hinges;
  • the table in the folded position is held by a standard latch, lock or hook, which is fixed to the wall;
  • The table supports are simply leaned against the wall next to the table.

How to make a stand for a drill?

Making a mini-drilling machine with your own hands does not require high qualifications, but it greatly expands the scope of application of an ordinary electric drill. In addition, the machine will be much cheaper than a purchased one, and components can be borrowed from previously used devices.

Making a wooden stand will take very little time and will not require any special materials or tools:

  • wooden blocks or boards no thinner than 20 mm;
  • furniture guides;

  • metal rod with thread for caliper;
  • fasteners for wooden parts(screws, glue);
  • emery.

Tools:

  • hacksaw;
  • vice;
  • Screwdriver Set;
  • electric drill.

The dimensions of the mini-machine are chosen in accordance with the size of the workspace in the garage.

Making a stand from metal requires a little more time and materials, so it is necessary to cover it in a little more detail.

The proposed metal stand is more versatile than one made of wood and includes:

  • supporting frame;
  • guide posts of the drill, to which it is attached and moved vertically;
  • vertical tool feed handle;
  • additional components for ease of use.

How to make an overpass for car repairs?

It's no secret that a car needs regular maintenance and minor repairs, like any technically complex mechanism. For ease of access to components and assemblies located on the bottom of the car, a hand-made lightweight overpass is often used, which will significantly save money spent on service station technicians.

Overpasses come in full and small sizes. Strictly speaking, overpasses function in the same way as inspection pits.

The need to build such a useful invention is most often dictated by the high boundary of the aquifer in the place where the garage is built, which makes the construction of an inspection pit impossible.

It is quite possible to install the overpass yourself. For this case, you need drawings, an action plan and taking into account the dimensions of the car:

  • the total length of the overpass is usually taken from the calculation - length of the car + 1 m;
  • ladder width – more than 40 cm;
  • height of supports – 70-80 cm.

The ladders are made from a corner, the cabinets are welded from a corner with a shelf width of 50 mm. The surface of the ladder is made of corrugated steel with a cross-section of more than 14 mm.

How to assemble a compressor for a garage?

When servicing a car, and for other work in the home and garage, there is often a need for air compressor. It will help with painting, inflating tires, blowing off dust, and in many other cases.

The simplest compressor To paint a car, you can assemble it yourself from an old car inner tube.

Here is the description necessary materials and tools to bring this idea to life:

  • the camera itself will serve as the receiver;
  • supercharger - a pump, preferably with a pressure gauge;
  • tire repair kit;
  • awl.

Procedure:

  • check the chamber for damage with the pump and repair it if found;
  • make a hole in the receiver to release a stream of compressed air;
  • glue in the additional fitting and connect it to the spray gun;
  • Unscrew the nipple in it to give air free passage;

  • leave the “original” chamber nipple - it will be used as a valve, holding excess pressure;
  • by testing, determine the required air pressure of the receiver, spraying paint and ensuring that it lies evenly;
  • The main rule is that there should be nothing foreign in the chamber: moisture, particles of dirt and dust.

If you have a minimum number of assembly skills, more than complex structures, we can suggest trying to assemble a compressor of greater complexity and versatility, which can be used to measure the number of atmospheres in car tires, paint, blow and blow off dust.

The method is inexpensive, even if you don’t have a lot of scrap materials in the garage.

Installation is carried out from:

  • old refrigeration unit;
  • air receiver with a volume of up to 10 l;
  • pressure gauge for the air receiver;
  • air pressure regulator;

  • hose high pressure(20 bar);
  • the most inexpensive filter-regulator;
  • several clamps;
  • adapters.

The compressor does not take up much space, so it can be installed in a niche on the wall or on a DIY wall shelf, where necessity dictates.

This type of compressor receiver has three outputs:

  • the top one supplies compressed air;
  • the middle one is used by the pressure gauge in the receiver;
  • condensate and oil are drained through the bottom.

Operating principle: the compressor sucks air through bottom part, where the filter regulator and switch switch are installed. The regulator pressure limits range from two to eight atmospheres.

To ensure against troubles, you can install a relief valve for safety.

How to make a crane-lift?

No one will deny that periodically any car needs to be serviced, and from time to time repaired. Serious repairs are not a cheap pleasure, so many car owners undertake to do it in the garage or at the dacha with their own hands. For example, when repairing an engine, significant physical effort will be required when removing it and installing it in place after repair.

A crane with a winch can be of great help in such operations. It can be equipped in the garage either by purchasing it in a supermarket or with your own hands, according to a simple diagram.

Most practical way placement of such a crane beam - above the front of the car parked in the garage. If the boom extension is 1 meter, then the working area will be around 5 m².

The base in the considered option will be sheet steel 400x400x25 mm. A rod with a diameter of 80 mm is welded into it, attached to the ceiling with M16 bolts.

It is necessary to ensure compliance with horizontal levels, since often the floor or ceiling of a garage may have a slope in one direction or another.

The boom is made of a meter strut, 50x50 angles and a glass with two pressed bronze bearing bushings. The entire structure is secured with a cotter shaped nut M42x2.

Pit and cellar

Useful space is not limited to the garage box itself: you rarely see a garage without a cellar, where racks for pickles and marinades, and departments for fruits and vegetables collected on the original “six hundred square meters” are so excellently located.

The situation is as follows: a garage has been built/bought/rented, the car requires repairs or just maintenance, and inspection hole not in the garage. There is a way out - build it with your own hands.

In general, the inspection pit should be of such a size that the owner can sit and work in it comfortably.

To do this, measure the dimensions of the hole:

  • length pits are selected in accordance with the length of the car base + 1 meter;
  • width determined by measuring the distance between the front wheels minus 20 cm to ensure that the car does not fall through when entering;
  • depth selected according to the height of the car owner + 20 cm.

Life hack: you need to add 30 cm to all the obtained dimensions. This is done for the intended installation of hydro- and thermal insulation.

Let's take a step-by-step look at the construction process itself:

  • The dimensions of the pit are marked.

Lifehack. If you already have a floor screed, you will have to organize the work order as follows: apply markings and then cut through them with a grinder or some other tool.

  • We keep the floor parallel with the help of a level and carefully compact it. Usually the first layer on the floor of the pit is a cushion of crushed stone, then in order: 5 cm of sand, 30 cm of clay, reinforced mesh, which is filled with concrete in a layer of 7 cm. Then it is necessarily poured with bitumen-based mastic, roofing material is laid on top, then the seams are coated and a layer of foam plastic is laid and the next layer of concrete is 15 cm.

  • The walls of the pit are coated with clay, polyethylene is laid, and roofing felt is placed on it and all joints, as on the floor, are coated with mastic.

  • Creating formwork is the most labor-intensive operation: it is made up of plywood sheets or boards, leaving a gap of 7 cm from the wall.

  • The wall is reinforced and filled with concrete.

Life hack: the height is filled at a speed of 20 cm per day, not faster.

  • Niches can be made in the walls; ceramic tiles must be used as cladding.

When arranging a cellar in a garage, the most reliable solution is to use a caisson. If you are wondering what a caisson is, it is best to turn to several life hacks that will explain its purpose.

Simply put, a caisson is a can. An ordinary large waterproof canister, tank or anything that resembles them. It is used as a basement impermeable to soil moisture.

It consists of:

  • over-caisson structure (this is the entrance to the cellar hatch);
  • cylindrical chamber with dimensions 2 m high and 1 m in diameter, this is best option, from the point of view of the proportion “volume / materials consumed”;
  • The caisson is additionally waterproofed from moisture using various bitumen mastics, an asphalt layer or various solutions, again based on bitumen.

Let's look at some useful tips and recommendations on this matter:

  • The walls of the caisson must withstand significant external pressure; you should not skimp on their thickness.
  • Welds must be welded twice, and the use of anti-corrosion agents is highly recommended.

  • When using a caisson, it is necessary to install a reliable ventilation system.
  • The list of basic storage units is almost the same: canned food and pickles, other homemade supplies rolled into jars and other containers, unprocessed vegetables and fruits. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account their storage conditions.

  • Ventilation requires special attention: the natural ventilation option is not always suitable due to the lack of the possibility of artificial regulation. Forced ventilation is better suited.
  • If there is no caisson, for waterproofing, a so-called sand cushion 25-30 cm thick is laid on the floor, covered with roofing felt or other material on top, and the seams are glued with bitumen or mastic.

  • Raw vegetables are stored on the floor in boxes. Carrots and beets are additionally sprinkled with sand.
  • Wood shelving tends to become covered in fungus over time. To avoid this, they are coated with protective mixtures.

  • Steel racks do not have this drawback, but they tend to corrode, so they are treated with water-repellent materials.
  • Plastic shelving is resistant to moisture and corrosion, but is quite fragile and cannot bear a large weight load.

  • The depth of the cellar is directly proportional to the depth of the aquifer in this particular area, unless a caisson is used.
  • When using a caisson, measures must be taken to prevent it from being squeezed out to the surface by groundwater.
  • The cellar floor should be located at least 1 meter from the upper boundary of the aquifer.

How to make a workbench?

Who has ever seen a garage that doesn’t have a workbench with a vice attached to it? Or a garage without shelves, mezzanines, or wall cabinets? Without a stand for checking or maintaining the car?

By looking at the interior of the garage, you can immediately tell who its owner is and how functional this or that option for using the internal space is, how much it optimizes it for operation.

A large and convenient workbench in the garage is its undeniable advantage. If you organize boxes for tools and parts in it, it will turn into a universal place of work. Typically, such a workbench is made across the entire width of the garage with drawers of various sizes.

To install it with dimensions 660x100x60 cm you need:

  • saw;
  • plywood of various thicknesses;
  • polyurethane;
  • paints;
  • sander;
  • fastener

Operating procedure:

  • for a workbench measuring 660x100x60 cm, you will need to cut 4 sheets 20 mm thick;
  • For work surface It is better to use sanded plywood;

  • boxes are made from strips 0.6x4.8 m, 13 mm thick;
  • sections of the rack are assembled from 20 fragments measuring 61x61 cm;

  • every vertical row boxes are calculated as follows: 3 small and 1 deep;
  • the depth of the guide grooves is 1.27 cm;

  • additionally cut a 254 mm groove at the bottom of the cabinet and three grooves 127 mm apart and 146 mm from the top of the cabinet;
  • the required structural rigidity is created by reinforcing the rear wall with strips of plywood;

  • we assemble all the structures for five boxes and fasten them together, then fix them to the wall with fastening screws so that there is free space under them for oversized items;
  • assemble boxes from 13 mm thick plywood;

  • handles are cut out in the front wall of the drawer or purchased ready-made and fixed with self-tapping screws;
  • the dimensions of the lower drawers are 120x25x5 cm and 60x25x5 cm;

  • a 60x120 cm frame is attached to the working surface of the workbench;
  • finishing the workbench involves sanding and painting in several layers.
  • allowed finishing coat varnish.

How to make shelving?

Rack is one of the most common rational decisions organizing free space when placing things in a limited volume of a house or garage. The surfaces of the box walls invite you to lean a rack against them or strengthen a dozen or two shelves and put a wide variety of items on them: from fishing equipment and clothing to a boat motor and a spare engine block.

A garage rack can be purchased at retail chains - this is an option that requires almost no energy consumption. Installation/disassembly of such structures is elementary and does not require highly qualified assembler.

Perfect for all categories of garage owners, but quite expensive and will require a certain investment of capital.

You can try to make a rack yourself from scrap or purchased materials: from scraps of pipes, profiles or corners, from pieces of plywood, chipboard, plastic.

Instead of drawers, it is quite possible to use the usual plastic canisters. The canister is positioned horizontally, and using the handle that is in front, it is pulled out and returned to its place.

The only thing that should not be forgotten is that it is prohibited to use canisters and other containers containing chemically aggressive, radioactive or flammable substances that can be harmful to health. The best option is a drinking water canister.

To make a rack from aluminum or other metal yourself, you need to carry out preparations, take dimensions, calculate the load and select the material for the product. You should also take into account what communications run in the place where the rack is planned to be installed.

  • First, determine the external dimensions of the product.
  • Then the number of shelves and their height are calculated. It makes sense to make them of unequal heights, since the sizes of storage items vary.

  • It is irrational to make sections that are too wide - the load-carrying capacity of the shelves will sharply decrease and the possibility of collapse will increase.
  • The drawing should begin with a sketch of the rack, its schematic representation with preliminary dimensions, giving general concept about what should happen in the end.

  • The next step will be cutting the vertical parts.
  • All parts are cut to the same length from a solid profile or angle. Compose them from individual parts Not recommended.

  • Sometimes metal or metal-plastic pipes are used as risers.
  • The material for the shelves is chosen taking into account its strength. For example, shelves made of chipboard and fiberboard will not support significant weight due to their relative fragility.

  • Design shelves no more than 60 cm wide.
  • The presence of a edging (side) on the shelf will serve in two directions at once - it will create an additional stiffening rib and prevent small parts from falling.

  • First install vertical racks. The method of fastening (to the floor, ceiling, walls) should be considered at the stage of drawing up the drawing.
  • When installing, be sure to use a level to avoid distortions.
  • The shelves are secured using corners.

Let's look at some useful life hacks:

  • Sometimes, to save space, shelves are attached directly to the ceiling without using vertical supports on the floor. Hanging shelves can free up space in the lower tier of a garage box, but they cannot have a special load capacity. You can put oversized but lightweight long slats, plastic corners, cardboard pipes, etc. on them. They can also be made mesh - then you can additionally hang something from them with hooks.
  • Another popular way to use a wall is to arrange a metal or plastic panel with fastenings (hooks, brackets, etc.), this will greatly save free space.
  • To create a small gap between the wall and the panel, it is recommended to use wine corks sawn in half.

Hanging structures

The problem of storing small parts, screws, washers, bolts and other fasteners in the garage is quite acute. On the one hand, they should always be at hand, on the other hand, they are quite easy to lose or drop on the floor. There are several options for solving the problem. Here is one of the interesting, simple and inexpensive options - just ingenuity and a new look at using ordinary things.

To begin with, you need to decide required quantity cells of the required size.

To work you will need:

  • 4 metal slats, each 2.2 m long;
  • electric drill;
  • fastener

In our case (see photo) there are 24 identical cells in a row. There are four rows in total, the size of each cell is 14x10x7.5 cm. In a metal strip (in our case, its length is 2 m), holes must be drilled for the entire length of the row with a drill for fastening to the wall. Saving is not recommended, since the rail will hold cells filled with metal parts. Next, the slats are attached to the wall. We attach the cells to the slats. Ready!

Original options

You have to do a lot of things in the garage with your own hands, because among all the variety of goods that modern industry offers us, there is not always something that fully satisfies the demand of a picky and skilled owner.

In this case, we are talking not only about furniture (cabinets, racks, shelves, tables, workbenches), but also about all kinds of homemade devices, which make life so much easier when a sudden need arises to perform a non-standard operation.

The garage performs a wide variety of functions: from a storage room and a workshop to a repair box and a resting place. In any case, there are a lot original ideas, embodied in useful, necessary and functional devices and homemade products for the garage, which are quite accessible for making from improvised means with your own hands.

  • To protect against drafts, it is often recommended to lay a kind of felt “sausage” under the garage door. It is very helpful when working inside the garage during the winter season.
  • A spare set of tires is stored hanging or on its side. If there are no disks, tires are stored vertically with the obligatory change of their position once a month.

  • To place them in a standing position, it is recommended to design a storage location on the wall with your own hands. In fact, it is a wall-mounted triangular frame into which tires are inserted in a standing position. The farther the frame is installed from heating devices, the better the tires will be preserved.
  • It’s good if there are used tires in the garage that have not yet been scrapped. If you put a piece of plywood or chipboard on top of such a tire and decorate it with decor, it will turn into such an elegant little thing as a designer stool.

  • If you lack driving experience, you can mount a used tire on the wall opposite the gate as a bump stop. This craft will significantly reduce the risk of scratching the bumper when parking the car.
  • From old tire It turns out to be a homemade little thing for storing small items. Attaching the tire to the wall is quite simple, and this option will look impressive. For gardeners, the shelf can easily turn into a flower bed if the tire is placed outside the garage.

  • Storing various wrenches (socket wrenches, combination wrenches, adjustable wrenches) on hooks is beneficial and preferable from several points of view. Several keys on one hook, they are clearly visible, take up little space, and are all accessible at once.
  • It is very convenient to store rags using a wall holder, which uses ordinary clothespins. The rags will always be at hand, no need to waste time looking for them.

  • To make notes “for memory”, you need a board and chalk. But this is completely optional: cover a cabinet door, part of a gate, some kind of shield, or just a free, flat section of the wall with graphite paint and make a schedule of tasks on it, leave notes or write down the dimensions of the future shelving.
  • Using a grinder, you can turn an old 200-liter barrel into a wonderful chair if you cover it with foam rubber or rubber. The same thing can become the basis of a table for something needed.

  • Boxes with various things on the garage floor will become much more mobile if you attach wheels from old office chairs to them.
  • If, in addition to the hooks, you attach a figuratively cut strip with holes and staples to the wall above the workbench, it will be very helpful for storing and using pencils, drills, spools of thread or twine.

  • The same applies to various types of loops and straps attached to the garage wall.
  • If to the bottom surface wall cabinet attach lids; they are very convenient for screwing on jars in which various small items are stored.
  • Another possibility of using them: through the hole in the lid is pulled electrical cable, and a socket with a lamp is placed in the jar - the lampshade is ready!

Garage Doors– a very significant and important part of boxing. They carry a fairly significant load, serve as the main obstacle to burglars, and require thermal insulation. To all of the above, we can add that the gate should be as convenient to use as possible for the garage owner.

The version of the gate equipped with extension springs or torsion springs is not yet very popular in Russia compared to the “classic” version, but they also deserve attention precisely because of their ease of use.

Tension springs are usually used with gates smaller than 8 m². They do not require a large lintel height due to the use of extension springs installed on the sides. They are easier to install, and their price is lower than gates that use torsion springs. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to install a built-in gate in such gates.

Torsion springs are used when installing gates larger than 8 m². 3 types of installation are allowed: standard, low, high. A big plus when using gates of this type is the protection against falling of the door leaf when the springs fail and low-noise operation, just like the version with a built-in wicket door.

As they say, there is never too much space in the garage. Men who spend a lot of time in the garage will agree that in some cases every minute and every square centimeter of free space counts. This is why a garage handyman needs competent organization workspace. Various people help out and help here in every possible way. devices for storing building materials and work equipment, machine parts and other things necessary for work. To ensure that your electronic, garden and garage gadgets are always in their place, use the following devices:

    • stands;
    • shelves;
    • retractable panels;
    • shelving;
    • organizers for tools.

Also, for clarity, we offer do-it-yourself homemade products for the garage and home craftsman - the YouTube video will reveal all the nuances of organizing the workspace and suggest fresh ideas.

DIY crafts at home with your own hands

Man has been making homemade crafts since prehistoric times. Actually, all industrial processes are the improved once handicraft or home-made developments of folk craftsmen. Sometimes we don’t even think about the fact that we pay for things that we can do with our own hands.

A garage is more than just a place to park a car. It is also a workshop, a place of relaxation, and a club of interests. Therefore, the arrangement of the garage should be convenient and thoughtful. You need to place a lot of things in a small area, and they should be convenient to use. Homemade products for the garage will help with this. What people don’t do with their own hands. From a simple shelf to a complex device. You can make all this yourself. But you need to know how. Several ideas for modernizing a garage and a plan for their implementation are in the article.

Homemade garage: ideas for arrangement

Setting up a garage is a long process. You won’t be able to do everything right away. You have to constantly modernize, change, and create something new. In this case, they mainly use homemade products for the garage. It requires less money and is also a pleasure - making the right thing out of garbage is worth a lot.

Even in a small area you can fit everything

Tire and wheel storage

Every car owner is faced with the problem of storing out-of-season “shoes” for the car. Where to put the tires is a sore point. In general, the way tires are stored depends on whether they are mounted on rims or not.

Tire storage methods

So tires with rims can be hung or stored lying down - in the form of a stack, stacking them one on top of the other. To hang tires, you can use luggage straps, chains, or a metal cable with a diameter of 4 mm or more in a polyethylene sheath. Fasten the belts to the ceiling, wall, or beam located above.

Cable in a polyethylene sheath, anchors with a ring and clamps for tightening

Luggage straps are best attached to rings in the ceiling or hooks on the walls

Drive pins of sufficient length into the wall, but such that the pin does not stick out beyond the tire

Not only a pin will do, but also a hook with a small bend radius

Another affordable way- drive pins or hooks with a small bend radius into the wall. The distance between the hooks is slightly larger than the diameter of the tires. The length of the pins should be such that they do not protrude beyond the tire. You can fill them almost to the ceiling so that the wheels fit.

Tires without rims can only be stored standing up. Special shelves are made for them. They are usually welded from profiled pipes. 20*20 mm, maximum 30*30 mm. You can also use a corner. Round pipe It’s inconvenient to cook, but cross members can be made from it - the tires fit and hold up better in this case.

The width of the shelf is 4 times the width of the tire, plus a margin of 10-15 cm for some freedom. The height of the rear wall is slightly higher than the outer diameter of the wheel. The design is simple = from the side it resembles right triangle. Having an inverter welding machine, welding such a shelf will not be difficult.

Tire storage shelf - a great homemade product for the garage

This is a factory option with a completely inhumane price tag. But you can borrow an idea - the crossbars can be rearranged depending on the size of the tires... you never know

Just welded and painted

Such shelves are usually hung on the wall. But the place must be chosen so that light does not fall on the rubber - this will deteriorate it. Not the most complicated DIY projects for the garage, but very useful.

Workplace

Probably the most a large number of DIY projects for the garage are related to the equipment of the workplace and tool storage systems. Moreover, shelves and racks in the garage are not the only way to solve this problem. First of all, you need to decide where it will be located workplace. There are three options:


A table or workbench for a garage is made of boards and covered with plywood. Inexpensive, quite reliable. If you have a welding machine and verification skills, you can weld a frame from a corner or profiled pipe. Again, it is better to sheathe it with moisture-resistant plywood. The result is a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface. You can, of course, use laminated chipboard, but the laminating layer is quickly damaged.

U-shaped workbench for garage

To prevent the space from wandering around, you can install shelves or make drawers under the countertop. Boxes are more convenient, but making them is still a hassle. It is quite possible to make shelves and put boxes made of plywood on them. Plastic boxes and baskets are also suitable. But the walls must be thick.

You can put boxes on the shelves

There is, by the way useful idea— make a rack for storing tools from used canisters. Find ones that have the handle on top. Then everything is simple - one of the sides is cut out and in the future this canister is used as a box.

Useful and simple homemade products for garage

It is not necessary to make a whole rack - it’s still difficult to remember where and what is located. But you can use the same principle to make drawers for shelves. By the way, you can stick inscriptions or pictures on the ends (with pictures, identification is faster). Such homemade projects for the garage bring satisfaction - create useful thing out of the trash - a pleasant feeling.

Tool storage

The most difficult task is organizing tool storage in the garage. We need to make sure that everything is in order, but at the same time, is at hand and in sight. Moreover, closed boxes are only suitable organized people, who always put the taken thing back in its place. Otherwise, you will constantly rummage through drawers, forgetting where everything is. There are several ideas for convenient storage of small items and tools. These are very simple DIY projects for the garage.

A simple solution will help you quickly solve the problem. metal grid. A reinforcing mesh made of 2 mm wire, a 10 cm cage, is suitable. Attach it to the wall, bite off some rods, bend them, make hooks, crossbars, etc. out of them. You can buy special hooks that are attached to the mesh (available in stores that sell commercial equipment); ordinary double-sided hooks, which you can buy or make from wire, are also suitable.

A grid on the wall is a way to quickly organize tool storage

It is convenient to store screwdrivers on a special shelf. Take a board or plywood, 10-15 mm thick. The board must be sanded well so that there are no splinters. Then drill holes of different diameters in one or two rows in the plane. If the board is wide enough, you can make larger holes for chisels or even hammer handles. Clean all the chips again. Now we need to come up with a wall mount. You can use a regular bracket. Screwdrivers, chisels, and other similar materials are inserted into the holes. Convenient, fast, everything is in sight.

Idea for storing screwdrivers in the garage

There are also useful homemade products for the garage that allow you to organize storage hand tools. Pliers, pliers, wire cutters, etc. placing it conveniently is problematic. Can be hung on a net. It’s convenient to remove, but not to hang. But there is a simple solution - attach a narrow board and put the tool on it. To make it sit comfortably, grind down the board on one side. When cut, it should look like an isosceles triangle.

Storing hand tools in the garage

More simple idea for storing cordless tools, chargers and spare batteries for them. Make a shelf as in the photo above. In the lower part, cuts of different formats are made, and the upper parts are used as regular shelves. The idea is that everything is in one place, quickly taken out/installed in place. These garage DIY projects will make your workspace comfortable. It will be easy to maintain order.

Homemade carriers for the garage

Even with very good lighting in the garage itself or on the street during the day, visibility under the bottom of the car is very low. To illuminate the front of the work, portable lamps are used. These are the simplest DIY projects for the garage. With them you can begin the epic of arranging and equipping your garage space.

The most common type of garage carrier. Homemade ones are usually made very similar

In the very simple version This is a socket attached to a wire and can have a small shield with a hook attached to it. This is such a simple thing. The light bulbs used are ordinary ones - incandescent or economy ones with a standard socket. Everything is not bad, except that these light bulbs break very often, you need to figure out how to hang them so that they shine in a specific place. In general, the design needs improvement. There are several modification options.

Unbreakable lamp socket

This lampshade is from plastic bottle perfectly protects the fragile bulb of an energy-saving lamp. Can also be used LED lamp, but incandescent will not work - it heats up too much. The design is simple - a cord with a plug and a cartridge at the end.

The main task is to find a plastic vessel with walls made of translucent milky plastic of medium thickness. Transparent will not work - it will not scatter light, too thin walls will not save the lamp from impacts. After you have found a suitable vessel, some small change remains:


Everything is simple, but such a lamp allows you to brightly illuminate required area, the rest of the space is filled with even light that does not hurt the eyes.

Carrying LED Recessed Light

The simplest and most common homemade products for the garage are portable lamps. Without them, it is inconvenient to work not only in a garage pit, but even just on a workbench. Need a flat built-in LED lamp, which can be switched on at 220 V. These models are called “tablets” because of their shape. You also need a cord with a plug and a piece of plastic window sill to install the lamp. The window sill piece should be larger in size than the lamp. You choose the specific sizes yourself. The next steps are:


All, homemade carrier ready. This option is for floor installation. The movable leg allows you to change the angle of inclination. To make it turn over less, you can attach a couple of weights inside the body (in its lower part).

Attach the carrying cord to the ceiling

Convenience comes from little things, and very simple homemade products for the garage help with this. For example, you can remove the cable from a portable lamp that always gets tangled under your feet. Carrying is usually done with a cheap cable. It is not the most flexible, does not fold well, and its coils on the floor get under your feet. In general, it is inconvenient to use. You can protect yourself and carry it by hanging the cable from the ceiling. The solution is simple but very effective.

You can make this “suspension” to the ceiling for carrying with your own hands in an hour

  • Two anchors with a ring at the end.
  • Cable tie.
  • Clamp clamp.
  • Metal cable. The length depends on the size of the garage - it needs to be from one wall to the other.
  • Steel/plastic rings or steel wire and a piece of pipe to make these rings.
  • Carrying with a long cable - its length is approximately double the length of the garage.

The cable is stretched along the long side of the garage. It’s more convenient - not far from the “working” wall, where the workbench or other equipment is located. A little work:


Well, that's all. You can use it. With such a device, the carrier can be carried to any end of the garage without the cable getting tangled or caught. Convenient, takes little time.

DIY garage compressor

A compressor is needed in any garage. And, by the way, this is not the most difficult homemade product for the garage. Low-power garage compressor for inflating tires and other small work You can make it yourself from scrap materials. For example, from a compressor from a refrigerator. For this you will need:

  • refrigerator compressor;
  • a sealed cylinder with thick walls (you can use a fire extinguisher flask or a small gas cylinder);
  • safety valve at 8 atm;
  • pressure gauge;
  • fitting;
  • oxygen hoses with couplings (select the length based on the size of your spare parts);
  • base for the compressor - a thick board or piece of plywood will do.

In order not to pump any nasty stuff into the tires, it is advisable to also install a filter to separate oils, dust and other contaminants. Scheme homemade compressor shown in the photo.

Homemade compressor diagram

The compressor must have a starting device. We plug it into the network, see which tube the air is sucked into, and mark it. You can put it on car filter— clean air will be pumped in.

We assemble an oil separator receiver from a cylinder and a safety valve. To do this, we cut two fittings into the cylinder - for air inlet and outlet. We place a safety valve on the inlet hole and connect the compressor outlet to it using an oxygen hose.

Homemade compressor for the garage based on a compressor from a refrigerator

We install another automobile oil filter at the outlet of the oil separator receiver to completely remove the oil. We connect the filter to the pressure gauge, and from it it's already underway a hose that is connected to the tire through an appropriate adapter.

Assembly is complete. But in order to carry this device comfortably, everything needs to be secured in some way. You can weld the frame to size, attach wheels and a handle for easy transportation. One of the compressor options for inflating wheels is described in the video. There is no receiver, but its functions are performed by an oil filter. You can do it this way, but with a receiver the design is more reliable.

Since the compressor in the refrigerator is low-power, it may take a long time to inflate the tires. You can make it more powerful by installing two compressors that will start simultaneously. Accordingly, the pressure will build up twice as fast. But such an installation requires a more robust security group. Such homemade products require a little more equipment, since the circuit is still more complicated.
