I have a really spacious garage (1,400 square feet) that we mainly use for parking our two cars, but I want to make use of the extra space for storing non-perishable foods and kitchen appliances. My garage is conveniently located close to the kitchen, which makes it a great spot for overflow pantry needs. I live in a high desert climate where the garage stays dry, with temperatures typically hovering around the mid-80s at their peak. I'm looking for suggestions on effective shelving options—most of the shelves I come across seem designed for larger items, rather than the smaller pantry goods I need to store. Any advice?

For your garage, I'd recommend using black or chrome metal shelving. These shelves come in various sizes and heights, plus they're adjustable, which is super handy. You can also add plastic mats to the shelves to make cleaning easier. Just a heads-up: even though your garage climate is dry, consider protecting your food from rodents. Here's a link to some good shelving options on Amazon if you're interested!

Thanks for the tip! I forgot to mention, my garage isn’t heated or cooled. I might need to find a way to keep things from freezing when it gets too cold. Any suggestions?
