Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Storage Solutions
When it comes to organizing the space in your garage, there are many options to choose from including cabinets, shelving, bins and other storage concepts. One of the easiest things to use in the marketplace for garage storage solutions is a rail or track system. Here is a look at one of the options in the garage storage arena, the Rubbermaid FastTrack system.
Like most rail or track systems, the Rubbermaid’s core system is built on rails which can be quickly installed in a short amount of time. Made of heavy steel, they offer the ability to hold a lot of weight thus giving you a lot of options for storing a wide range of items. The rails have the flexibility to be used with either 16 or 24 inch wall studs and can support close to 1,750 pounds, coming in lengths of either four feet or seven feet.
Rail systems offer several distinct advantages over other garage storage options, by ease of use, the versatility they offer and how simple it is to expand the system. Once the rails are in place, you do not need additional tools to make changes to the system. Items can be added or taken down simply by switching out various hooks or bins or adding them on. If you don’t like the look of where something is placed, you can slide the hook down the rail until you are happy with the look of the set up.
Best of all, there is no limit to what you are able to hang on the rails. Rubbermaid offers a wide range of hooks, bins and racks that could allow storage for things such as hoses, power tools, bikes, ladders, sports equipment among other things. It makes it nice for seasonal changes to be able to swap in and out items that you will need for the current season without having to look all through the garage and various cabinets and dark corners for items you need. Having a rail system in place allows you to be able to see quickly everything you have available to you. No more wasted time searching for that one tool or finding something a year later you needed because it was buried underneath other items in the garage.
A rail system offers some additional flexibility and expandability over typical shelving or cabinets you use for garage storage. It also offers a nice clean look and feel making it easy to find things in the garage and creating additional storage space on the wall and on the floor below the system.
