Giving Your Garage a Gadget Makeover

At Grand Mat, we believe that every person needs a good garage and that every garage needs a good owner. There’s nothing worse than a garage that’s so overrun with clutter and storage overflow that you can’t use it for what it’s intended for. This is part of the reason that we created the Grand Mat: So that people could get rugged, premium protection for their garage floor. It saves concrete from the muck and filth of 4 seasons of hard use. 

Part of making your garage all that it can be (besides the Grand Mat, of course), is a handful of unnecessary gadgets and conveniences that are worth considering. Some of them may make you the envy of your neighbors. Others may simply cause them to shake their head in disbelief. 

Below is our list of “Don’t Needs but Must Haves” 

The RoboMow

This is a bit of a mix between an invention by Rick Moranis’ kid from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and the Roomba. This little addition to your inventory of unnecessary add-ons give you more time in your garage. Which takes us to our next suggested purchase. 

The ShamWow

This isn’t an infomercial. And we’re not promising you anything extra if you call within the next 10 minutes. But until you’ve tried one of these, you can’t truly appreciate how much they’ll change your life. So it’s not fair to call this a list of unnecessary items. Because the ShamWow is necessary. 

Garage Door Decals

This is by far our worst suggestion…but not without a bit of redemption. Consider the ridiculousness of having a garage door that looks like it’s your boarding a horse or storing a dump truck. If you’re not going to buy this for yourself, consider installing it at night on your neighbor’s garage door. 


At Grand Mat, we’re all about making your garage all that it can be. If you’re in the market for rugged, premium protection for your garage floor, let us know. We’ll set you up with the most versatile, longest-lasting, and effective garage floor protection solution on the market.
