Garage Storage Cabinets on the Gold Coast & Brisbane: How to Plan a Workbench Wall
Updated: 6 days ago
If your garage has turned into a dumping ground, the fix is usually one good wall of storage. Here's how to plan a workbench and cabinet wall that fits your garage and still leaves room for the car.
Single garage or double garage?
Most Gold Coast and Brisbane homes have a single garage around 3 to 3.6 m wide, or a double around 6 m wide. That changes where your cabinets can go.
Double garage: the back wall is usually the best spot. A 3.9 m workstation fits with room to spare and both cars still go in.
Single garage: the back wall is often too narrow for a full system, so a side wall can work if the garage is deep enough. Check you can still open the driver's door.
Tandem or extra-deep garages: put the workstation across the back and use that end as your work zone.
Lay it out in this order
Mark where the car sits and how far the doors open.
Find your power points, light switches and any windows.
Put tall cabinets at the ends so they frame the bench and don't block light.
Keep the bench in the middle, under good lighting.
Use the overhead cabinets for things you only grab now and then.
Lighting makes the wall work
A workbench is only as good as the light over it. Hexagon LED garage lights give bright, even light across the whole garage, which makes detailing and small jobs much easier.
Don't forget the floor
Cabinets look best on a clean floor. Interlocking garage floor tiles go down in a weekend with no glue and cover stained concrete for good.
