Garage Getaway: Create the Garage of Dad's Dreams for Father's Day

Lowe's Helps You Turn Extra Space into Special Place with Gifts for Every Type of Dad

MOORESVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Garages don't have to be the final resting place for everything that doesn't fit in your house. Man caves are on the rise as dad looks for a quick escape and the garage is an ideal space just for him - of course his buddies are invited to join in on the fun. Turn the mundane into dad's domain this Father's Day by going beyond the basics and creating a garage getaway. Whether your No. 1 Dad is a garden guru, handyman or grill master, a few thoughtful garage updates can wow him on his special day.

Quick Updates

Dad's proposal to turn the formal dining room into a man cave might have been out-voted, but an updated garage can be the perfect retreat for dad. Start by refinishing the floor with QUIKRETE Epoxy Garage Floor Coating (Item #224208). Repaint the walls with bold colors to honor your dad's favorite sports team. Once that pop of color gives new life to the space, help dad stay organized with Black & Decker Multi-Purpose Cabinets for string trimmers, blowers and other garage gadgets.

For Mr. Fix-it

Really want to make a big impact in dad's new space? The ultimate gift is the Kobalt 53" Stainless Steel 16-Drawer Tool Chest (Item #112374). It's equipped with everything from an AM/FM radio and speakers to a mini fridge. Don't be surprised if the garage turns into the neighborhood hangout once dad unwraps this tool chest. Lowe's gift cards can also delight dad by letting him pick out that perfect tool.

For the Grill Master

Let the garage fun spill out onto the driveway or front yard by throwing a party for your dad and neighborhood dads this Father's Day. When the time comes to fire up the grill, roll out dad's new Weber Genesis Espresso Gas Grill (Item #296463). It offers total heat control and has a built-in gauge to let dad know how much gas is in the tank.

Have a dad who is an avid cook? Find a spot near the garage to plant him an herb garden with rosemary, thyme and basil, so he can add fresh flavor to the grill without a trip to the grocery store.
