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.
- All storage should be kept clear of moving parts (such as doors and garage door openers) and leave clear spaces for exiting in an emergency.
- Always keep safety in mind with drilling, nailing or screwing into walls – identify electrical lines and turn off the power at the mains.
