Get Ahead of Winter: October Garage Prep Checklist

Winter is quickly approaching in Utah, and for many homeowners, this is an ideal time of year to winterize and otherwise organize their garage space. From storage elements to overall organization and more, some October garage prep can go a long way to ensuring you're ready for the Utah winter.

Here are some key items for your October garage prep checklist, from simple DIY tasks you should be considering to garage storage products you might consider adding - plus how our team can help.

Simple Garage Storage/Organization Checklist

For starters, here are a few basic areas to be attending to within your fall garage organization themes:

Storing Summer Gear/Equipment

As the summer season fully comes to a close, you may have a variety of items that need to be stored away until next year. Some examples of these include:

  • Lawn chairs and outdoor furniture
  • Gardening tools and equipment
  • Summer sports gear (e.g., baseball bats, gloves, etc.)

This is a great time to take inventory of these items and determine if any need to be repaired or replaced before next year. Once you have sorted through them, properly pack and label each item in a clear storage bin or container for easy identification.

Organizing Seasonal Decorations

As the end of summer approaches, it's also time to start thinking about decorating your home for the upcoming holidays. This means taking out decorations from the previous year and organizing them so they are easily accessible when needed. Consider investing in labeled storage containers specifically for holiday decor to keep everything organized.

Planning for Winter Equipment

From snowblowers and shovels to ice melt and salt, winter equipment is essential for keeping your home safe and functional during the colder months. Make sure to check all equipment before the first snowfall and have any necessary repairs done.

It's also a good idea to designate a specific area in your garage or storage shed for these items so they are easily accessible when needed. If you do not have proper space for these, read on to learn more about some options available to you.

Importance of Insulation

Whether we're talking about garage cabinets or a simple shelf, insulation is key. Proper insulation can help regulate the temperature in your garage and prevent any extreme fluctuations, which can lead to damage to your stored items. Additionally, it can also save you money on energy costs as less heat will escape from your home through the garage.

There are several types of insulation to choose from, depending on your budget and the level of insulation required. Options include fiberglass, foam board, and reflective insulation. Before making a decision, it's important to consult with a professional to determine which type of insulation is best suited for your specific needs.
