Many times the extra durability of cargo equipment can be an advantage when setting up storage at home. Consider the etrack. Normally used for transporting recreation vehicles, this handy system serve double duty by safely and conveniently storing your toys and equipment at home.

One thing that is very convenient about some of the equipment used to haul large heavy objects is that you can sometimes transfer its uses to a household application. Using an etrack system that was originally designed for hauling cars, motorcycles and other recreational vehicles, you can quickly and inexpensively discover ways to store your recreational toys at home.

The benefit of using an etrack system is that it is durable. You don't have to worry about creating storage along your garage walls using inferior materials only to have everything bow and bend over time. As an example, consider your backpacking or scuba equipment. It may not always be advisable to store these items in closed cabinets since they are often cleaned after use and may be a little bit damp when you put them in the garage.

One option is to install an e-track along the studs in your garage. Then, by using an e-track tie down fitting such as an O-Ring, you can hang up the equipment using an S-hook. Choosing to store the equipment in this manner will allow for proper air circulation as the cleaned equipment continues to dry. Allowing for proper drying will eliminate mold and extend the life of your camping or scuba gear.

Another usage is hanging up your lawn and garden maintenance equipment such as leaf blowers and hedgers. Again, by arranging the etrack along the garage wall you can use various fittings to hang the equipment.

A 1"x6" piece of lumber offers the perfect shelving size for gardening and landscaping items such as plant food, insecticides and herbicides.

With a little imagination you can find lots of household uses for an etrack system. Combining the extra durability of the materials it's made from with the various fittings and straps will allow you to store items conveniently in your garage.
