Cluttered Garage? This Rubbermaid Storage Rail Is the Mid-Season Reset Your Space Needs
Turn chaos into calm before fall
Summer is the ideal time to head out on a bike ride or spend the afternoon gardening, but if your garage is a cluttered mess, getting out the front door or into your backyard can often feel like more trouble than it's worth. And as we head into fall and things go back into storage, the clutter only gets worse.
When it comes to organizing this typically chaotic space, I've found that hanging solutions − just like Rubbermaid's FastTrack Garage 12-Piece Steel Multipurpose Storage Rail System, available at Lowe's − help to maximize the space and make the most of vertical storage.
It's a simple, cost-effective way to organize a garage once and for all.

Of all items in a garage, bicycle storage ideas for sheds tend to pose the most problems. As bikes are such bulky, heavy, and cumbersome items, the last thing you'll want is an equally awkward storage system to match. Instead, the Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage 12-Piece Steel Multipurpose Storage Rail System, available at Lowe's, makes it effortlessly easy to organize a garage with too much stuff.
Equipped with rails, hooks, and more, it's conveniently designed to grow as life changes − simply add more accessories to the FastTrack Rail as and when you need it for a tailored fit to different storage needs. Featuring a heavy-duty steel construction, the storage system is capable of withstanding up to 1,750 pounds, so it's a reliable option for storing other heavy items, like organizing DIY tools, machinery and shovels, as well as bikes. Each locking hook can support up to 50 pounds, meaning you can safely hang them up off the ground without having to worry about them falling off.
This 12-piece set includes three 48-inch FastTrack rails, three cooler hooks, two multi-purpose hooks, two utility hooks, and two ladder hooks. It's also available in sizes from 32 to 84 inches, and in sets of one to 24 pieces, though many of these are currently out of stock, proving the popularity of this storage system.
If you're not up to scratch with the essential DIY skills every homeowner should know, the FastTrack Storage Rail System is also effortlessly easy to install.
'Super easy to install and versatile,' assures Matt alongside a five-star review on the Lowe's site. 'It’s very convenient that there are so many different hangers available for this rack system.'
