Garage storage tips
- All dangerous chemicals (such as paints, cleaning products, and weed killers) should be stored out of reach of young children or are inside locked cupboards.

- Always keep safety in mind with drilling, nailing or screwing into walls - identify electrical lines and turn off the power at the mains.
