Instead of pipe insulation, you could use pool noodles. You can find them at the dollar store in the summer, so they are SUPER cheap, plus they are about the same thickness AND they come in BRIGHT colors, so you'd be able to spot them better in the garage and where they are when you're trying to put bulky stuff on them??!!
