Homemade for the garage - ideas for making fixtures

A garage is not only a place where a car, motorcycle, bicycle “lives” and is being repaired. Often, a full-fledged carpentry workshop is deployed here, many tools and large-sized items for summer and winter holidays are kept. A variety of homemade garage do-it-yourselfers allow you to arrange it in accordance with the owner's occupation, creating not only a working and storage area, but also a resting place and friendly get-togethers.

Features of the arrangement of the garage

Garage space is usually not too big, but it has some features that must be considered. Initially, it is desirable to create a project or at least a detailed plan, and then make a "marking on the ground" - mark on the floor, walls, where and what will be located. When designing, the height, length, width of the room, the list of items that should fit here are indicated. "Pushing off" follows from the place where it is most convenient to put the car in - nothing should interfere with its entry and exit.

The gate is also an important element, they are installed as tightly as possible, and additional space will have to be allocated for opening certain types of construction. The width of the aisles between all the objects in the garage is made sufficient for easy movement.

What other elements can be placed in the garage space:

  • basement inspection pit;
  • mobile overpass;
  • cabinets, racks, shelves for storing various things, tools, materials;
  • tables, workbenches;
  • lift crane with winch;
  • lathe drilling machine;
  • mini power sawmill;
  • stands for wheels, tires;
  • lighting devices, heaters;
  • water pipes;
  • compressor;
  • welding machine.

In recent years, garages are very popular, on the roof or inside of which a full-fledged heated living room is equipped. To climb it will need to make a ladder.

Shelves, cabinets, racks for storing tools

Cabinets, shelves, racks purchased ready, specially designed for the garage, or performed independently. Manufacturing materials are:

  • natural wood;
  • DSP;
  • MDF;
  • plywood;
  • metal;
  • plastic;
  • combinations of several materials.

These items are intended for:

  • maximum space saving;
  • no littering;
  • convenient placement of things, tools;
  • giving the room a habitable appearance.

It is extremely undesirable to get ready plastic racks - they are short-lived, are not suitable for storing heavy objects, tools, quickly lose their appearance.

Homemade shelving

The most practical structures made of metal with wood. According to the method of assembly racks are:

  • stationary - usually built in, designed for a specific area of ​​the room, attached to the ceiling, floor, wall, sometimes made angular, U-shaped;
  • mobile - equipped with wheels, if necessary, easily moved to the right place;
  • suspended - mounted on the wall, ceiling;
  • versed - shelving constructors, shelves in which are rearranged, swapped;
  • rotating - suitable for a variety of constantly used small objects.

To make a good rack, it needs to be drawn on paper, indicating the planned dimensions, the distances between the shelves, the methods of fastening. The metal structure is usually welded from metal pipes, sheets, corner elements. Wooden - it is assembled from timber (10 by 10 cm or 5 by 10 cm) and boards, with the help of screws, perforated corners, etc. Most often wooden shelves or chipboard items are mounted on a metal frame, their approximate dimensions are 50 by 100 cm, thickness - 20-25 mm, the distance between the individual shelves - about 40 cm. The finished design, depending on the material of manufacture, is varnished, covered with stain, painted in any color.

Manufacturing of suspended shelves

Shelves are hung on the walls, less often - to the ceiling, often made multi-tiered. Wall options are made closed, open, stationary or dismountable, with or without rear wall. Wooden shelves are mounted on a frame of perforated steel, fastened to the wall with dowels, anchors. Ceiling hang hooks mounted in the ceiling, special "studs", the design goes shaky, for storing heavy objects unsuitable.

Perforated shelf

Products from perforated parts are usually made collapsible - profiles are mounted on the wall, screwed to it, then shelves are fixed there. In order to independently manufacture such a thing, a metal perforated corner is purchased, the cutting of which is usually ordered at the place of purchase. Horizontal and vertical strips are interconnected by bolts, while a kind of horizontal frames are formed from the horizontal, into which boards, iron sheets are inserted, and plastic containers are inserted.

Folding compact table

A small table, like some other pieces of furniture, is easy to make from scrap materials.

Would need:

  • sidewall of a wooden cabinet or a piece of chipboard;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • a bit of timber;
  • two loops;
  • perforated corners and nuts from the cabinet;
  • anchor bolts.


One piece of a bar is screwed to the wall, two legs are laid out, attached to the table top, which is connected to the bar with the help of hinges on the wall. When folded, the legs are removed, the tabletop is fixed on the wall with a hook, bolt.

How to make a drill stand

The drill stand consists of the following parts:

  • the bearing bed - on it all other details are fixed;
  • rack - guide part on which the drill is mounted, moves up and down;
  • handles - control the movement of the drill;
  • additional nodes that extend the functionality of the product.

Usually the product is assembled according to drawings from metal parts. A support is attached to the horizontal stand, which is connected to the stand that is fastened with screws. The racks are mounted to the rack - they can be made of telescopic furniture elements. The carriage is attached to the movable part of the guides, on it - the mount, where the drill is fixed later.



Rack for a drill sometimes do wooden - from a bar and a board.

Making a do-it-yourself trestle

Trestle for a private car is performed from:

  • bricks;
  • wooden sleepers;
  • metal.

The latter option is best suited for closed spaces. For the manufacture of the simplest overhead needed:

  • welding machine;
  • a set of electrodes;
  • metal rolling;
  • fittings;
  • Bulgarian;
  • cutting wheels for grinders;
  • nuts, bolts;
  • paints for metal.

The design is made stationary or collapsible. To begin with, a sketch is drawn with dimensions, the bases of the thumbs are collected - the dimensions depend on the dimensions of the car. The parts are welded together at a right angle. Further racks are carried out: their approximate height is 50-60 cm, the angle is 120 degrees. The upper pedestal supports are welded to the racks, the base is joined, a “dead end” is made from the corner. Then the crossbars of the reinforcement are welded, bridges and ladders are made. The latter, before fastening on the base, must be “adjusted” to the dimensions of the machine.

Independent manufacture of the compressor

The air compressor is a useful craft that can spray paint. For self-production, you will need an auto accessory that is used for pumping wheels. The compressor must be powerful - quickly create pressure up to six atmospheres, while not loading the engine, and also productive - release compressed air quickly, giving a strong flow.
To combine both performance and power, you need a high-speed engine, equipped with a volumetric system of pistons. The device is able to overheat, which will inevitably lead to stops during operation, so you have to arrange sufficient cooling for the cylinders.
To reduce the cost of construction is used receiver - cumulative capacity, which is a cylinder of steel. To make a small compressor, an electric motor is taken from a toy or appliance that supplies water to an aquarium with fish.

Manufacturing crane hoist with a winch

The lift is used to maintain the machine if a breakdown suddenly occurs. Purchased will cost much, self-made is performed with minimal labor costs.

Types of lifts:

  • screw;
  • chain;
  • hydraulic.

The way to raise the car - scissor, fork, platform. Creating the last option is easiest. For work you will need:

  • steel plate from waste equipment, one or two cm thick;
  • corners of steel - to design came out as stable as possible;
  • worm-type gearbox - it is usually removed from the non-working design, since the new one is expensive;
  • set of bolts;
  • keys in the form of stars;
  • mounting hook;
  • metal chain with links with a diameter of two to three cm;
  • steel cable having a thickness of five mm.


The sequence of the assembly is as follows: first, the corners are fixed to the wall, an iron plate is mounted on them, the connection is made on the bolts. After mounted worm gear, by fixing on the drive shaft. In the plate make holes for the chain, set the chain mechanism. For safe use make holes in the frame, insert the locking parts.

Build a workbench with your own hands

Workbench - a desktop on which manual processing of objects, details from metals, wood, other materials is made. The design is equipped with a vise, stops, several boxes for tools. Purchased workbenches have the following dimensions:

  • height - 80-90 cm (sometimes adjustable);
  • length - 130-150 cm (for one workplace);
  • width - 75-85 cm.

If desired, a convenient workbench designed for various works is done by hand. This will require:

  • Bulgarian;
  • metal circle;
  • grinding wheel;
  • screwdriver;
  • welding machine and electrodes;
  • protective clothing, accessories;
  • roulette, square, level;
  • electric jigsaw;
  • perforator;
  • corners of different sizes;
  • square tubes;
  • strips and sheets of steel;
  • boards and plywood;
  • guides;
  • screws, screws, anchor bolts;
  • paints for metal, wood.

The approximate dimensions of this workbench - 220 by 75 cm, height - 90 cm. The material is cut in accordance with the drawings. The frame is welded from shaped metal pipes, has four legs, on which will be placed two pedestals connected by a worktop and a crossbar for legs. On the top of the frame there are jumpers for supporting the table top, on the sides of the thumbs for the drawers. The construction is enhanced by diagonal jumpers in the corners.



Further, boxes are constructed from plywood and screws, guides and handles are mounted to them. On the countertop fit the boards, pre-impregnated with an antiseptic. The structure is polished, painted, and a steel sheet coated with an anti-corrosion compound is attached to the tabletop.

Cellar arrangement, pits

To equip the inspection pit or a full-fledged cellar in the garage, start with earthworks, usually done manually. The bottom is carefully compacted, a sand cushion is placed, waterproofing, the floor is made of clay or concrete. The walls are made of brick, gas blocks, reinforced concrete.

The overlap of the spacious cellar must be made as strong as possible, especially if the car is big and heavy. The best option - concrete reinforced slab. When the cellar is slightly larger than the viewing pit, it is covered with thick boards, the hatch is made of them. Stair down is made monolithic or welded. The cellar is required to provide ventilation and waterproofing.

Tire Storage Wheels

Tires and wheels are very bulky items that should be kept as compact as possible. For this purpose, shelves or brackets are used, consisting of two metal frames, triangles with jumpers. These triangular parts need to be fixed to the wall. Wheels are stacked perpendicular to the bottom of the shelf. Slightly falling between the jumpers, not falling out, due to the large weight.

Garage Heating Device

Stationary heating is carried out in various ways:

  • gas;
  • by air;
  • electricity;
  • stove;
  • water;
  • solid fuel;
  • with waste oil.

Homemade heater is made using:

  • a kit for assembling a heater;
  • wires with plug;
  • graphite powder;
  • laminated plastic;
  • epoxy glue.

A mixture of powder and glue is made, the rough side of the sheets is covered with this mixture, after which the parts are fastened and fixed on a wooden frame. To graphite conductors mount the terminals, after which the design is thoroughly dried. Next, you need to check the resistance, to test the performance of the device using a multimeter.

So that the heat from the building does not "go away" too quickly, the garage doors, walls, basement are also warmed.

Lighting

Sufficient lighting is required for any work carried out in the garage. It is produced with the help of halogen, LED, fluorescent lamps, which must be made out of shades. In the garage you need to put a stabilizer, in case of sudden power surges. In addition to the ceiling structures, lamps are mounted on the busbar above the workplace, which allows them to be moved to the right place, and swiveling structures are also convenient. The brightness of the light flux is selected, depending on the ongoing activity. Lighting is also needed in the basement.

Recommendations, tips on zoning the space in the garage

When planning, designing the garage space, it should be noted that the access part of the garage room is made with a slope outward so that water does not accumulate near the gate. If any work with toxic chemicals, a welding machine, a woodworking machine, is planned inside, the garage will be equipped with exhaust hoods, as simple vents are not enough. The distribution box, from which the wires go into the room, is inside or outside, it must be protected from moisture.

The separation of garage space looks like this:

  • passages - the part that should always be free, since it is intended to move inside the room. The maximum that can be put here is a hanger with everyday things used (shoes, work clothes, keys, etc.);
  • quick access space - areas of storage of small items, access to which is required quite often. Here seals, canned food, pet food, a small stock of cereals, etc .;
  • essentials - are used constantly, because they are placed near the entrance. Such things include a broom with a dustpan, a shovel for snow removal, etc .;
  • area for large and rarely used items. The easiest way to arrange it under the ceiling, on the mezzanine. It houses an artificial Christmas tree, decorations for it, skis, a tent, a folding brazier, a set of fishing rods and much more. The more often a particular item is used, the more accessible it should be;
  • the place for tall, narrow objects is mainly garden tools, cleaning items: brooms, hoes, forks, rakes, long handles, mops, etc. All this can be easily placed on a narrow corner shelf near the entrance, from where they can be easily reached and put into place;
  • working area - tools and equipment for hobby and creativity are placed in it: car repair, assembly and disassembly of electrical appliances, wood carving, gardening, etc .;
  • resting place - it is equipped, if there is free space left. Here they place a comfortable sofa, a table with chairs or folding stools, if necessary, a mini-bar, a microwave, and a small refrigerator.

Conclusion

Garage space, if it is not very close, not only allows you to freely place the car, but also to equip the recreation area, the place of work of the master of almost any specialty. Arrangement of such a space is not difficult if there are high-quality materials, trouble-free tools, as well as an interesting idea, an idea of ​​the appearance, filling the room after refit.
