No, it is not all that difficult to hang storage cabinets. Assuming your garage has bare framing, you are in good shape. However, this is not a one man job. You'll need to make sure you have the right tools too. Make sure you plan everything out before starting. There is nothing worse than getting halfway through your job and finding that something isn't in the right place or there isn't enough room for all of the cabinets.

How to Choose the Right Garage Cabinet for Storage?
Garage cabinets are worth their weight in gold when it comes to storage. Who does not need more storage in today’s cluttered world? Everyone reads about paring down, getting rid of clutter and living simply, yet, it is easier to read than to do. Until then, however, garage cabinets can hold our stuff. There are many types of garage cabinets available. There are stack-on cabinets, storage systems and wall cabinets. They come with different features, sizes and prices. Deciding which to purchase means first inventorying things that need storage. What is going to go in there? What needs to be stored? How much stuff is there anyway? Stack-on cabinets are good because one can keep adding on as needed. Start with a few and add as many as needed. These can be hung at whatever height is needed. The shelves are adjustable so it does not matter whether shoeboxes, jewelry boxes or larger bins are stored in it. Many come with lockable cabinets making these a safe place for valuables as well. A storage system can come looking like a nice set of kitchen cabinets or look like a two-door tool closet with bins to hold everything. If it is tools that need storing than the tool cabinet is great, otherwise, the ones that look like kitchen cabinets will hold more. With deep cabinets and adjustable shelving, this system holds a lot. Extra pots and pans from the kitchen, those huge bags of toilet paper for the bathroom, bulk items like cereal that do not fit in the pantry, books that have been read but might be again, clothes waiting to fit the next child and anything else that one does not need on a regular basis. Wall cabinets look just like kitchen wall cabinets but are sturdier, sometimes weather-proof and can come with locks. Hang these anywhere in the garage and fill them up. Bins can also be placed on top for more storage. These can be purchased individually and can hold quite a lot. The point of garage cabinets is help store things. Choose a cabinet that holds a lot, is easy to install and is cost effective.

Where exactly would be a good place to hang firewood racks in my home?
I have never seen a firewood rack that you hang and could not find one online. Regardless of the type of rack you are going to want it near your fireplace or wood stove. If you are going to make a decorative one I would hang it off to the side of the fireplace and if it is less decorative you might want to hang it in the garage or storage area.

Garage Storage Ideas for a Cramped Garage?
Without proper storage of the things that are in your garage, it is really difficult to get organized. There are a few garage storage items you will need in order to have a tidy and efficiently organized garage. First of all, storage totes are nice things to have when you’re trying to store some garage items (such as small garden tools or construction tools.) Storage totes usually aren’t pricey, and can make decent garage storage devices. However, if you can afford to spend more money, tool chests could perhaps be the most efficient option for storing construction and/or automotive tools. The drawers of the tool chests can be labeled nicely with labels or masking tape to denote what types of tools each individual drawer is storing. This can help you quickly find the construction and/or automotive tools that you really need at any given point in time, which is really helpful. The tools are usually not as easily located when they are stored in plastic totes or bins, as you may have to stack the totes to save space. If you have to spend time looking for the tote that holds the tools you need, you are essentially wasting a lot of time. If you have a bicycle in your garage, you may consider purchasing a bicycle hook to hang your bicycle on. You can even hang it from the ceiling of your garage, if you really want to. Placing the bicycle that you have on a hook can save you a lot of garage floor space (thus making room for other things.) If you have motorcycles in your garage that are taking up a lot of floor space, consider rearranging them in the garage so they aren’t taking up more space than they need to. For instance, parking even one motorcycle at a different angle can save a bunch of space. Of course, this idea doesn’t always work if your garage is extremely cramped for space. The motorcycle-rearranging concept is definitely worth trying, though. You may be surprised at how much space you can save just by using this method of rearranging things.
