While hanging your paddles from your garage door is an admirable use of space, be aware that it is not a good use of energy. Unless you don't raise/lower your garage doors? Every time the door opens or closes, the additional mass of the paddles has to be accelerated which causes your door motor to have to work harder, takes additional energy and adds stress to the system. It's probably a very small thing (maybe 6 pounds of paddles versus a 100 pound door?) but little things add up. Surely there is some non-accelerating space you could find if you looked harder.
