Some years it can feel as if winter is never going to end. But being prepared for all your winter needs can help get you through the bitterly cold times with minimal discomfort. Here are some handy tips for ensuring that your garage is stocked in preparation for the winter months:
Purchase a boot and shoe rack: This is the single most effective way of preventing snow, sludge and mud from being trampled through your home. Ensure that even guests use it, and perhaps think about having a small area for wet mittens and hats, too.
Have your windshield scraper to hand: Keeping a windshield scraper in your garage where you can easily access it, will certainly help on those frosty mornings when your windscreen may be covered in ice. Make sure your emergency supplies are in order: The garage is a handy place to keep your winter emergency kit, and in preparation for extreme wintry conditions, it should at least contain emergency blankets, hand warmers, a flashlight and bottled water. Some basic first aid items could also be kept along with the blankets, just in case you get yourself into trouble while stuck out in the winter weather, and of course if you’re planning a long journey in the winter, a flask of tea or coffee could help keep you warm.
Swap seasonal items: There’s nothing worse than a cluttered garage, so why not remove such items as lawn mowers and garden tools that you most likely won’t need during the winter months, to make way for other items that you likely will need, like snow shovels and snowblowers. Keep a good supply of ice-melt: It’s vital that you keep your ice-melt supply topped up, and so when hard weather hits, you’re able to de-ice your walkways and move safely around your property.
Make sure that your garage is functioning as it should: It’s all well and good to make sure that your garage is stocked for the winter months, but if you wake up one morning to discover that you can’t access your garage because you haven’t had it serviced in so long, then you’re in a bit of a fix. Contact your local garage door supplier to book a garage maintenance appointment and give yourself the peace of mind that the doors will open whenever you need them to. All it requires is a little forethought to prepare your garage for the winter months but doing so can save you a lot of stress and worry, especially if there is a cold snap that hits without warning. Talk to your garage door supplier if your garage requires more insulation or needs upgrading for the winter months in any way.
