Is Your Garage Being Used As A Library? Repurpose The Space By Putting Things Into Storage
Going to a local library, park, or coffee shop is a perfect place to unwind and read. But, sometimes you might not feel like going out and walking or driving to get to a place to read. As a result, you may have turned your garage into a library to enjoy comfortable reading at home. The problem is this takes away valuable space that you might want to use at some point for protecting your vehicle. When you are ready to dismantle the library, you should put the components into storage to gain instant access to the garage.
Reading Chair
A good reading chair is essential in any library. So, you may have visited a nearby thrift store a few years ago and picked up a lovely upholstered furniture piece to do all of your reading from. In the garage, your chair should not be too hard to keep in great condition, but this is not the same case in a storage unit. It is worth it to invest in mildew inhibitors that you can use before putting the chair into storage. This combined with a climate-controlled storage facility should prevent almost all mold risk.
Bookcases
If you have bookcases along all of the walls in your garage, you will have a lot of furniture to put away. The easiest thing to do is to store the bookcases fully assembled, mainly because you should be able to fit them alongside the unit's walls without taking up too much space. But, you can also dismantle each bookcase if you are on a tight budget and want to get the smallest storage unit possible. The next step is protecting the bookcases from the floor, which could end up getting moisture on it and damaging the wood. It is easy to avoid this problem by putting vinyl tarp or wooden pallets beneath all of the bookcases.
Books
Since your bookcases are likely full of books, you will also need a place to store them. Although you might like the idea of books being shelved and displayed in your storage unit, you should prioritize plastic bin storage to prevent your collection from being at risk of moisture damage. Low humidity is essential if you expect to come back to books that do not have peeling corners or pages that are stuck.
As soon as you get your library into storage, you can start using your garage for something else.
