If you're proud of your garage, this is one garage accessory that you may find useful:
As anyone who has ever tried to back up their driveway and into their garage knows, garage parking is tricky. Often time, you can accidentally bump into the back wall, damaging your car or your property and ringing up quite a price-tag in repair costs.
But you can buy special accessories to help. Products called 'stop guards' can really help take the guessing out of the process of backing your car into your garage. You'll stop running into bicycles, walls, and tool racks. And you won't have to worry about parking too far from the back wall and letting your garage door close on your car. They can also help make sure that you have enough space for wheelchair access if you or someone in your family is disabled.
The guards themselves are pretty basic- large vinyl wedges that can install in minutes. Though you have to be sure to position them right and use industrial-strength adhesive materials, the process is fairly easy and can save you a lot of time and frustration, especially if you constantly park too close to the garage door.
The wedges also are resistant to damage or corrosion caused by antifreeze, gas, oil, and most other chemical substances that tend to be floating around a garage.
