Perforated board

For a garage, a metal sheet with holes inside is suitable, on which you can fix various hooks and accessories and organize the storage of all tools. It doesn’t take up much space, saves space and just looks great even in a small area. There is no more need for shelving with bulky jars, which always strive to tip over under the weight.

Construction stores offer a wide range of accessories for perforated sheets:

  • hooks and clamps for hand tools;
  • multi-seat cylindrical tool holders;
  • it is possible to place mixtures and jars on the shelves; when choosing a size, it is important to take into account the load on the panel;
  • Hooks with grooves allow you to attach tools of any shape, such as pliers, to them.

If the board is fixed to a wooden frame, the top panel can be used for aerosols and various cans

Convenient storage for bicycles

Even if there is only one bicycle in the apartment, in winter it needs to be stored for storage and often the garage acts as such a place. And if there are several vehicles, it may so happen that there will be no more space for a car.

An excellent way out is to fix special brackets, which can have a variety of shapes, on the wall or ceiling. With the onset of the season, bicycles are simply removed, if necessary, you can dismantle or move the fasteners closer to the entrance. In addition, handy devices are suitable for storing many items and things.

Wheel storage

Not a single garage is complete without wheels, each car owner has at least 4 pieces waiting for their season. And if there are more of them, it is more convenient for them to think over wall storage or install a special shelf. Wheels without discs cannot be suspended; for them, the best solution would be vertical arrangement on racks. The situation is completely different for tires with rims, they can be fixed to the ceiling and placed vertically.

Memo on storage options for wheels with and without discs

The optimal solution is to prepare special racks at a height convenient for the car owner so that he can independently place the rubber in storage and remove it. If space permits, the easiest way is to install the shelf on the floor, so the owner of the garage can simply roll each wheel on it.

Country wardrobe, storage in a barn

Every summer resident knows how dirty and dusty things become after work. And for the safety of everyday wardrobe, the right way would be to store things in the country in a barn.

To do this, you can attach hooks on the door or wall, or allocate a place and put a separate cabinet there.

Also, an ordinary wooden pallet will help to create order in the shed. It can be fixed to the wall and can be attached with various hooks and shelves for things.

Storage of small items

In the barn there are always many small items that are rarely used, but take up invaluable space. In this case, you can use plastic containers and hang them on the ceiling rails. But this method is possible if the barn has high ceilings.

Organizer for nails, screws and nuts

Various hardware is always needed in every household. However, their small size is always difficult to store. Therefore, you can purchase small plastic containers with a screw cap from your local hardware store. Screw the lids to the rack, and then tighten the filled jars. This is a great way to keep everything close at hand while taking up minimal space.

Or you can use plastic bottles by cutting and attaching them to the countertop.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Plastic storage containers

On a note! Metyzy (acronym for “metal products”) is a generalized name for a wide range of metal products, including various types of fasteners: self-tapping screws, nails, screws, bolts, screws, dowels, anchors, studs, nuts; washers, rivets; lanyards, thimbles, etc.

Working surface

Any utility room needs a surface where you can transplant flowers or subdue something. To do this, you can build a table according to your individual size and from improvised means.

Arrange the pallets one on top of the other, covering them from above with a sheet of chipboard. After that, you can decorate it with various paints. Plus, the distance between pallets is also a great way to store small items and tools.

Organizer for small tools

An old shoe organizer is perfect for this. You just need to attach it to the wall and store all the necessary things. These can be gloves, garden shears, pruning shears, or your favorite vegetable seeds.

Storing things in an organizer

Correct zoning

So that the order in speed does not turn into the opposite, during cleaning, you should divide the space into several zones. For example, an area for storing carpentry equipment, electrical tools, household equipment, items for recreation and entertainment.

This method will help you easily get to what you need without disturbing the order.

Customizable storage wall

Shovel hanger

This idea (its various variations) is used by many summer residents. It conquers with its simplicity: anyone can buy a couple of inexpensive wall hangers or ordinary coat hooks and attach them to the wall (even in a barn, even in the same garden cabinet). In order not to lose tools, you can screw the hooks on the street – to the fence, for example: I went to rest – I hung a shovel on the hook on the way and did not look for it all over the site:

This option, although suitable only for temporary storage, can also be useful.
Dimensions, design features and the number of hangers or hooks can be chosen to your taste and depending on what is supposed to be placed on them. In extreme cases, if the priority is not aesthetics, but economy, it is enough just to stuff nails on a wooden rail – such an impromptu hanger will serve no worse than a purchased one. The idea is extremely simple to implement. Instead of hooks, you can use wooden blocks as in the photo below on the left. And arrange the tools not randomly, but in a carefully thought out order. Such “showcases” are convenient because the entire tool is in plain sight – it is easy to find what you need. In such a “showcase” all inventory is in plain sight

If you approach the matter creatively, such a utilitarian object can even turn into a kind of element of garden decor. Some aesthetes create interesting compositions, specially selecting work equipment for them. By hanging the tools, you can create a decorative composition. Not for an amateur, of course … True, I don’t think keeping instruments in the open is a good idea; for such compositions, it is still better to find a place on the veranda or at least under a canopy. A rusty shovel is a dubious decoration, in my opinion, and it will quickly become unusable for work. It is still undesirable to place such decor in the open air.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

I use this option for storing pruners and hacksaws, but you can also hang other tools, the main thing is to choose strong and comfortable hooks of a suitable size and shape.
In our catalog, where the products of large garden online stores are presented, you will find a large selection of various hooks and wall hangers, which are useful not only for storing tools in the country. Choose hangers and hooks.

The second life of the old rake

As a hanger for small tools – secateurs, scissors, planting shovels, etc. – the old rake can come out. Give a second life to the old rake The idea is not new, but it does not become less useful from this, does it? And there is room for creativity, as we can see …

Compact garden stands

If for some reason you do not want to store tools in a suspended state or are inconvenient, pay attention to the ideas of compact stands for shovels, rakes, pitchforks and other garden tools: It is not at all difficult to assemble such a rack from bars. The main feature of such structures is numerous cells, into which the cuttings of the tools are inserted, so that the shovels and rakes do not fall over, they are convenient to take and return to their place. By the way, this idea can be realized like this, for example: Simple, laconic solutions The option in the photo on the right, in my opinion, lacks fixators at the bottom – the cuttings will slide on the floor. And I would add the rigidity of the structure. But I liked the idea of ​​using a lattice.

Pallet stands or wooden slats

Narrow racks, extremely easy to manufacture, are obtained from pallets. It is done elementary: put it vertically, close to the wall, secured – done! If pallets are not at hand, you can assemble a similar structure from ordinary boards or wide slats. It will take a little more time, but there are no restrictions on the size of the finished product. The solution is simple and quite practical. The disadvantage of such a stand is that the tools in it only in the photo are exactly the same – in life, all this beauty lasts only until the first attempt to remove a shovel or rake. However, you can get rid of such a drawback by slightly modifying the structure – for example, as in the photo on the right below: Such a structure does not have to be stationary
Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

By the way, please note: such a structure does not have to be stationary. If the dacha landscape allows, attach convenient wheels to the inventory rack – and everything you need can be quickly delivered to the place of gardening work.

Tool trolleys: storage and transportation

And this, by the way, is a very practical idea: instead of carrying work tools back and forth, regularly realizing that something is missing, and forgetting one thing or the other somewhere, make a mobile stand or trolley that allows compact store the most common inventory in the barn, and carry it around the garden with you. I carry everything with me The trolley can be of any design – everything is in your hands. On sale, if you wish, it is not difficult to find a finished product, but I think, if the idea is to my liking, it is better to make a mobile stand with my own hands – according to my own needs and conditions.

A new look at an old barrel

Original garden tool racks are obtained from garden barrels or trash cans. Looks like a pencil holder, right? Although the structure in the photo on the left below raises my doubts: in order for it to be stable and not topple over, the bottom of the tank must be heavily weighted, because it is quite light in itself: the barrel turns … into a stand for shovels and rakes! But the idea definitely deserves attention. It can be improved in every possible way: for example, by fixing a light plastic barrel on a trolley, we get a mobile stand, and using a barrel with a lid in which holes for cuttings are made, we can conveniently and compactly arrange all our shovels, rakes and hoes: If you want it is stationary, but you want – on casters
Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

And again, the implementation of this idea does not require special skills, abilities and costs, especially if the farm already has an extra barrel (for example, if a water tank is leaking, why not give it a second life instead of throwing it out …).

Based on the fire shield

You can not invent anything new – use what has been invented a long time ago. I think everyone saw the fire shield? Now take a look at the photo: Simple, convenient, practical. All the tools you need at hand. Really? And it is very convenient: all the tools are in plain sight, any of them is easy to take, and if some are missing, it will be immediately noticeable – it will probably be easier to maintain order on such a stand than with other storage methods. All tools are visible, any is easy to take And you can store everything here – from rakes and pitchforks to trimmers. The size and number of racks can be easily varied depending on available space and inventory. Fits everything! The size of the stand can be varied

In a word, if there are free walls of sufficient area, there is probably no better way to find it. Personally, I see only one “but” with him: it will take time to make neat and durable racks. What if you need a quick option?

Space for sliding shelves

Swivel shelves and sliding bypass blocks can make more efficient use of the sidewalls of your garage. The bypass unit adds 50% more storage for long-handled tools and all kinds of items that take up too much wall space. You simply slide the shelves to either side to access the materials behind.

Rod support brackets

Clothes bar brackets aren’t just for wardrobes. The hanger for attaching the rod to these brackets will also come in handy in the garage and workshop. You can bend the hook so it can use long tools or cords.

Do-it-yourself storage of a tool in the garage: how to do it rationally and conveniently?

A garage space is often combined with a workshop. The system for storing tools in the garage should be thought out. GOSNITI ready-made structures are considered optimal.

A home craftsman who wants to save money will need materials at hand to make tool racks in the garage. Complex mechanisms equipped with movable elements cannot be simply stored.

To make the correct placement of the tool in the garage and put things in order, there are the following storage options :

  • on shelves;
  • on shelves;
  • in closets;
  • at the stands;
  • on the shields.

There are shelves of various modifications :

  • hinged;
  • closed;
  • stationary;
  • mobile.

Various materials are used for their manufacture, such as metal or wood. Small parts require hinged shelves. They are usually placed at the level of the garage owner’s chin. If the inventory has to be used often, open structures are better suited for it, and unnecessary things are stored in closed ones.

See how you can make an interesting DIY garage tool storage option:

Direct competitors of mobile shelves are mobile boxes. The device has specialized containers for the tool.

Factory racks for tools in the garage are made in accordance with GOST. These ergonomic designs are easy to DIY. Large racks are needed to store large units or tires .

If you want to make a cabinet for tools in the garage with your own hands, then there should be special drawers or bags. This storage prevents dust from entering. You can also use the side walls rationally. With the help of special tool holders in the garage, a place is equipped to fix the planer. Holders made of pieces of rubber hose can be placed on the doors .

A skilled craftsman will make a stand for a tool in the garage with his own hands. The material for its manufacture is a chipboard sheet. Additionally, metal cans from cans are used as tool holders .

How to store tools in the garage?

A convenient storage place is a shield, or storage panel, or just a tool board in the garage. Screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers are fixed on them. To make a shield for a tool in the garage with your own hands, use an array of boards and strong hooks. The complete set depends on the master’s own preferences.

As you can see in the photo, storing a tool in the garage with your own hands is not at all difficult to organize. All you need is desire and a little patience.

Homemade Garage Carriers

Even with very good lighting in the garage itself or on the street during the day, visibility is very low under the bottom of the car. To illuminate the front of the work, they use portable lamps – carriers. These are the simplest homemade garage items. With them, you can start the epic of the arrangement and equipment of the garage space.

The most widely used type of garage carrier. Homemade ones usually make them look very similar

In the simplest version, this is a cartridge attached to a wire, a small screen with a hook can be attached to it. Such a completely uncomplicated thing. Light bulbs are used ordinary – incandescent or housekeeping for a standard cartridge. Everything is not bad, except that these bulbs are beating very often, you need to look for how to hang them so that they shine in a specific place. In general, the design needs to be improved. There are several options for rework.

Unbreakable lamp holder

This plastic bottle lampshade protects the fragile bulb of an energy saving lamp perfectly. You can also use an LED lamp, but incandescent will not work – it gets too hot. The design is usual – a cord with a plug and a cartridge at the end.

The main task is to find a plastic vessel with walls made of translucent milk plastic of medium thickness. Transparent will not work – it will not scatter light, too thin walls will not save the lamp from blows. After finding a suitable vessel, a trifle remains:

  • cut out a window about 1/4 of the diameter of the bottle;

  • cut the neck so that the lamp can be inserted, but so that the screwed-in bulb presses it against the cartridge; Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

    Homemade products for the garage: shatterproof cover for carrying

  • assemble the structure, try it out.

Everything is simple, but such a shade allows you to brightly illuminate exactly the desired area, the rest of the space is flooded with even light that does not cut your eyes.

Carrying LED recessed light

The simplest and most common homemade garage items are portable lamps. Without them, it is inconvenient to work not only in a garage pit, but even just on a workbench. You need a flat recessed LED luminaire that can be turned on at 220 V. These models are called “pills” because of their shape. You also need a cord with a plug, a piece of plastic window sill – to build in the lamp. A piece of the window sill should be larger in size than the lamp. You select the specific dimensions yourself. Further actions are as follows:

  • In the window sill, on one side, we cut out a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the lamp body.

  • We remove the standard fixture of the lamp (it will be even thinner). Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

    Carrying a garage with your own hands from an LED recessed lamp

  • We pass the wire through the cells of the window sill, bring it out into the hole made.

  • We connect the lamp.

  • We glue it to the base.

  • We glue the sidewalls with strips cut from the same window sill (you can not do it, but it’s more beautiful).

  • We bend the bracket out of a piece of tin, fasten it with self-tapping screws to the lamp.

That’s it, the homemade carrier is ready. This option is for floor installation. The movable leg allows you to change the angle of inclination. To make it turn over less, a couple of weights can be fixed inside the case (in its lower part).

Attach the carry cord to the ceiling

Conveniences are made up of little things, and very simple homemade products for the garage help in this. For example, you can remove the cable from a portable lamp that always gets tangled under your feet. Carrying is usually done with a cheap cable. It is not the most flexible, does not fold well, its turns on the floor fall under your feet. In general, it is inconvenient to use. You can protect yourself and carry – hang the cable from the ceiling. The solution is simple but very effective.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Such a “suspension” to the ceiling for carrying you can do it yourself in an hour

Looking for:

  • Two anchors with a ring at the end.
  • Cable tie.
  • Clamping clamp.
  • Metal rope. The length depends on the size of the garage – it is necessary from one wall to another.
  • Steel / plastic rings or steel wire and a piece of pipe to make these rings.
  • Carry with long cable – roughly double the length of the garage.

The cable is pulled along the long side of the garage. More convenient – not far from the “working” wall, where the workbench or other equipment is located. Little work:

  • On the ceiling, on one side and on the other, at a distance of 30-50 cm from the corner, we drill a hole in the ceiling, screw in the anchor.

  • On one side, we attach the cable to the screed. Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

    We install the anchor with loops, fasten the cable

  • On the other hand, pulling the cable, tighten it with a clamp (it is easier for them to fix it on this side).

  • We put rings on the cable – 4-6 pieces, depending on the length. If they are one-piece, they must be put on before the cable is fixed. If there are no ready-made rings, you can twist the wire around the pipe, cut the rings, then tighten them a little to make the wire “run”.Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

    On the rings to the cable we suspend the cable from the carrying

  • We pass the carrying cord through the rings.

  • We bend a hook from the wire, which we attach to the cable. Attach a pencil to the cable, wrap the free end of the wire from the hook around it. Remove the pencil. That’s it, the hook is fixed to the cable. It is convenient to hang excess wires on this hook.Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

    We make a hook (or several) for hanging the cable loops

Well, that’s all. You can use it. With such a device, the carrier can be pulled to either end of the garage, while the cable does not get tangled or clinging. Convenient, requires little time.

DIY technology for creating a wooden tool rack in the garage

Before you create a do-it-yourself storage rack, you need to decide on the total number of tools that you need to place.

The tool should be placed on a vertical stand in a safe position.

Project creation

To make the wall system convenient, they draw up a plan-drawing of the future structure on paper, which takes into account all the requirements for the system:

  • Calculate the height and width of the rack – it is better to use the entire wall from the bottom to the very top.
  • The recommended depth of shelving niches is up to 65 cm, and the width between the vertical supports of the shelves is up to 1 m.
  • Determine the required number of shelves, including how many shelves-holders with cuts for the tool.
  • At the bottom, spacious floor shelves and racks are made for tires, wheels and for large carpentry tools.
  • Mark out places for magnetic tapes, hooks, holders.
  • They calculate how many organizers and containers are required, what sizes, and also determine their location.
  • Sort the tool and all small fasteners and storage parts.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Required tool

For the manufacture of the rack, prepare the tools:

  • measuring tape, square, level;
  • saw, grinder;
  • fasteners;
  • hammer, drill.

It is recommended to drill holes for natural ventilation in shelves and containers. This is necessary to protect items from rust.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Material preparation

All the necessary material is prepared for creating a rack, according to the prepared project:

  • For the main panel of the holder, you can use a perforated panel.
  • If the rack is made of wood, it is recommended to purchase oak or pine lumber without cracks or knots.
  • Wooden boards up to 2.5 cm thick are required for the shelves.
  • Shelves can be made of plywood and laminated plywood.
  • The vertical racks of the frame are made of a 10 × 10 cm bar.
  • It is recommended to pre-treat wooden boards with anti-mold and mildew agents, paint.
  • To assemble a metal frame, a rectangular profile and corners (up to 2 cm) are required.

Note to a guy: ideas for perfect order in the garage. Where and how to store garden tools: practical ideas

Manufacturing of components

The procedure for manufacturing the rack and accessories is as follows:

  1. According to the specified dimensions, vertical racks from a bar and boards or plywood are cut into shelves, a perforated panel is prepared. Designate shelf spaces.
  2. For the manufacture of a metal frame, workpieces of the required height are cut with a grinder and the locations of the shelves are outlined. The frame is assembled using fasteners, corners. Apply a primer, then cover the parts with anti-corrosion paint.
  3. Shelves are assembled from boards. They are pressed tightly against each other and hammered together with nails or self-tapping screws.
  4. Shelves from boards are assembled by laying the elements across the frame, so they can withstand a lot of weight. If the shelves are assembled by laying the boards along the frame, then there is a possibility that they will sag under the weight of the tools.
  5. The structure is assembled with self-tapping screws, nails and wood glue.
  6. The joints of all parts are additionally reinforced with metal corners.
  7. The entire structure is mounted to the wall and secured with metal brackets.
  8. Shelves with saws, holders, magnetic tapes, racks, containers and organizers are manufactured separately in the required quantity.
  9. You may need a small work table with a wood plank vise. It can be attached to the wall system as a fixed or folding surface using metal or wooden holders.

First, the rack frame is assembled, then wooden shelves are attached to it with self-tapping screws. The shelves of the rack are filled with pull-out baskets, organizers, containers and other holders. Hooks, magnets and magnetic tapes are attached to the perforated panel. Tools are placed on them. For convenient fastening of the pliers on the perforated panel, a mount in the form of a crossbar is installed. The containers are filled with small fasteners and tools. Garden tools, bicycles, tires and wheels, skis, skates and sledges are hung on holders or racks, or placed in containers.

Finished product processing and painting

The finished rack is once again treated against mold, the ends are painted over in several layers of paint. Containers and organizers can be painted in the same color as the rack itself.

Most often, a workshop or garage does not look the best because of the clutter. But thanks to the creation of a wall system for storing tools in the form of racks, all the necessary items, fasteners, inventory will be correctly sorted and placed. The room will take on a neat look, and all work can be done quickly and without delay.

DIY garage compressor

A compressor is needed in any garage. And by the way, this is not the most difficult homemade product for a garage. A low-power compressor for a garage for inflating tires and other small work can be done with your own hands from auxiliary materials. For example, from a compressor from a refrigerator. For this you will need:

  • compressor from the refrigerator;
  • a sealed cylinder with thick walls (you can use a flask from a fire extinguisher, a small gas cylinder);
  • safety valve for 8 atm;
  • pressure gauge;
  • fitting;
  • oxygen hoses with couplings (the length is selected based on the size of your spare parts);
  • base for the compressor – a thick board, a piece of plywood will do.

In order not to pump any muck into the tires, it is advisable to also put a filter to separate oils, dust and other contaminants. A diagram of a homemade compressor is shown in the photo.

Homemade compressor circuit

The compressor must be equipped with a starting device. We connect it to the network, look into which tube the air is sucked in, mark it. You can put a car filter on it – clean air will be pumped in.

We assemble the receiver-oil separator from the cylinder and the safety valve. To do this, we cut two fittings into the cylinder – for the inlet and outlet of air. We put a safety valve on the inlet to it with the help of an oxygen hose and connect the compressor outlet.

Homemade compressor for the garage based on the compressor from the refrigerator

We put another car oil filter on the outlet of the oil separator receiver – to remove the oils completely. We connect the filter to the pressure gauge, and from it there is already a hose, which is connected to the bus through the corresponding adapter.

The assembly is complete. But in order to carry this device conveniently, everything must be fixed in some way. You can weld the frame to size, attach wheels and a handle – for easy transportation. One of the compressor options for pumping the wheels is described in the video. There is no receiver, but its function is performed by an oil filter. You can do that, but with a receiver, the design is more reliable.

Since the compressor in the refrigerator is small, it can take a long time to inflate the wheels. It can be made more powerful by installing two compressors that will start at the same time. Accordingly, the pressure will build up twice as fast. But in such an installation, a more solid security group is required. Such homemade products require a little more equipment, since the circuit is still more complicated.
