Lakefront Lots, Acreage, and New Builds Across Lakeland

Upscale homes went up around Garner Lake after the amusement park closed in 1976, and newer neighborhoods and properties with room for horses now fill out the rest of the city. At 241 acres, Garner Lake is the largest lake in Shelby County, TN, and it's one of several local factors that shape what you might need to store:

• Lakefront Homes: Access to Garner Lake is limited to residents of six subdivisions, including Lakeland Estates, East Shores, and Windward Slopes, so paddleboards, rafts, and fishing gear usually come home with the people who use them. If your home sits on one of those streets, overhead racks can hold boards and floats above the parked car while slatwall near the garage door keeps rods and life jackets ready for the next trip to the water.
• Acreage Properties: Parts of Lakeland still offer lots large enough for horses or small-scale farming, which brings riding mowers and fencing tools into the garage alongside the family cars. Owners of these properties tend to need heavy-duty shelving, cabinets that lock away chemicals, and a workbench where repairs can happen out of the weather.
• Newer Custom Homes: Custom homes built around the lake, along with newer construction communities in other parts of the city, can include bonus rooms, private offices, and more than one primary suite. Those extra rooms bring extra storage decisions, so we can plan a walk-in closet for each suite and a bonus-room layout that changes as your household does. 

Several of these situations can overlap on a single property, such as a lakefront lot with a bonus room upstairs. We look at how they overlap during the in-home consultation, so your design accounts for all of them at once.

Inside the Build of Each Closet and Garage System

Hardware and finishes decide how well a closet or garage system handles years of opening, loading, and wiping down. We note where each detail applies, so you know what to expect in the closet, the garage, or both.

• Soft-Closing Doors & Drawers: Built-in hardware slows each door and drawer during the last few inches, so nothing slams shut when you're closing up in a hurry. Soft-close doors come standard on our garage cabinets, which helps when the garage shares a wall with the kitchen or a bedroom.
• Adjustable Shelves: Shelf heights rarely stay right for long, since tool collections grow and kids outgrow the bottom rack. We install adjustable shelves in both closets and garage cabinets, and FreedomRail shelves go further by sliding to new positions without tools.
• Thermally Fused Laminate Finishes: Thermally fused laminate bonds a decorative layer to the panel under heat and pressure, creating a surface that resists scratches and wipes clean. We use TFL finishes on our garage cabinets, where grease, dust, and scuffs from bike pedals come with the territory.
• Fully Extendable Drawers: With full-extension glides, a drawer opens all the way to its back edge instead of stopping partway. Our FreedomRail closet drawers use these glides, so the socks, belts, and jewelry at the very back are as easy to reach as the front row.
• Durable Cabinet Construction: Full backings, banded edges, and interior hinges give our garage cabinets a sturdier frame and a cleaner finished appearance. Banded edging covers the exposed sides of each panel, while interior hinges stay tucked inside the door, where they won't catch on gear as you reach in.
• Lifetime Warranty: We back our systems with a lifetime warranty, so a problem with an installed product isn't something you'll face alone years later. FreedomRail wood products carry a separate 10-year warranty, and we'll walk you through the coverage that applies to your design during your consultation.

Few of these details stand out on installation day, but they become obvious months later, when doors still close quietly and shelves still hold their place. We're glad to point out where each one fits once your design starts taking shape.
