Plan the perfect summer storage space

Get your garage so organised that packing up for a holiday or trip to the beach will never take more than a few minutes

• Bike storage

Hang bikes vertically to save valuable floor space and make sure safety helmets are stored nearby so they don't get forgotten

• Welly rack

With our British weather, wellies are essential any time of the year. Store them upside down on an easy-to-get-at-rack so they can dry out after cloudbursts

• Toy storage

Group similar toys together in boxes so you can easily pack them into the boot

• Camping gear

Use one shelf for your tent and a box of camping gear, such as a torch, gas burner with pans, first aid kit and a spare ground sheet

• Picnic hamper

Have a basket or hamper filled with everything you need for a picnic - plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, blanket - so you don't waste time packing it on a sunny day

• Beach bag

Choose one big enough for beach shoes, sun cream, drinks and a book
