DIY Garden Tool Storage Rack Solution Using Scrap Wood || Custom Design to Hold More Tools

This improved storage design will accommodate 3 times the amount of garden and contractor tools than versions from big box stores!!
Over the years I've bought about every garden and yard tool storage option available from the big box stores only to get frustrated by the inefficiency in their designs. I also searched for some DIY options and found a few good designs but they were still lacking in efficiency.
This design allows for 300% more tool storage per linear foot since it allows for horizontal storage all the way to the ceiling. The store-bought ones only allow for vertical storage thus increasing the linear wall space needed.
I was organizing my shop to set up a recording space and needed this real estate so created this design to help you organize your garage just like I did.

There is an image at the end of this post that have all of the measurements for the hole- www.hometalk.com/44285870/garden-tool-organizer-for-garage

Super helpful! This is exactly what I was looking for to build me some storage shelves for my tools in the garage.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

Thanks the the kind words.

@davidawilliams8603 4 года назад

Brilliant. First one I've seen that's actually doable.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 4 года назад

Thanks- I tried several other systems out before this only to be frustrated with the lack of "ease of use" and wasted space.

@acraftymix9798 4 года назад

Brilliant, thanks so much for the detailed tutorial

@SawHorseDesignBuild 4 года назад

Thanks for your kind comments. Hope that your organizational project goes well.

Holy cow! I’m surprised this guy has not lost any fingers yet. Safety is key buddy

@SawHorseDesignBuild 4 года назад

Thanks for your concern. Blade awareness is key and I always keep the blade away from my hands.

@Al_Z.Heimer 3 года назад

Looks like it will solve some of my storage problems. Maybe you have a solution for storing so many disimilar screws/washers/bolts/ etc. I always have difficulty finding screws suitable for an impact wrench for wood. What were you using?

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

I used decking screws for this assembly. To organize fasteners I used something like these since they stack and I can take to a job site as needed: homedepot.sjv.io/rna5m3

Great video - thanks for sharing. I've been planning on building a rack to organize my garden tools more efficiently for a few years and your video gave me the inspiration to finally get it done. Could you tell me how you cut the notches in the other side of the board since you didn't show this in your video ? Did you use your jig saw also ? I'm going to use 2X6's rather than 2X4's as you did to give me a bit more room for the tools. A few other plans I've seen for this type of rack use 2X6's. Though the crosspieces could easily be 2X4's.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

I used to a jigsaw for all of the cuts since I was creating this video for DIY platform and was trying to keep it simple. You can use 2 x 6 lumber if you prefer. I used the 2 x 4 since space was limited and did not want for the system to protrude into the room. If you used 2 x 6's then you can make some of the cuts deep and others shallow so the heads of the tools do not interfere with each other. I could alternate every other one and cuts the notches slower than I did in this design.

@wdedula 3 года назад

@@SawHorseDesignBuild Thanks very much for the quick response :-). Thanks for the info about using the jigsaw for all of the cuts since that's (currently) the only cutting took I have. I looked at the size of the 2X4's at Home Depot and to me, it didn't seem like I had that much room for the slots but if it worked for you, that's all that matters in your case.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

@@wdedula You have plenty of room with a 2 x 4- the slots just have to be large enough to accommodate the diameter of the handle of the tool which is not that large.

@mpshookjr 3 года назад

measured the shovel handle:1-1/2"; decide the notch will be 1-5/8"; then added 1-3/4" to scribe lines; then drilled hole with bit of size? 1-5/8" or 1-3/4"

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

Either size work- depends on the tools you have available. I had a 1- 5/8 bit so I used that.

@georgeadneyga 3 года назад

@@SawHorseDesignBuild Right. So why was the measurement you marked on the board 1-3/4? That's what's confusing me..

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

@@georgeadneyga If you measure the distance between them when you mark the lines at an angle from the edge the measurement is closer to 1 5/8"

@chrishayes5755 2 года назад

garden tools are low priority for me. I just want them all mashed into a tiny area as possible where I can still get to them. can't have gardening tools taking up all the real estate lol

@SawHorseDesignBuild 2 года назад

I agree- that is why I went vertical with the design. Before all of these tools took up more floor space than this design.

@coreymcniel3390 3 года назад

I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

I've heard that they were good from many other viewers/ bots as well.

@drawlings10 4 года назад

Where is the template? this looks good.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 4 года назад

I'll email it to you- fill out this contact form or email us at info @ sawhorse.net www.sawhorse.net/contact

@MAGAMAN Год назад

you need a template for this? LOL

@____________________________.x Год назад

Not keen on this idea, prefer the vertical orientation to lift tools on/off, nicely made though

@genoromero5550 Год назад

I'm with you. It saves more space going vertical!

@MAGAMAN Год назад

Could have just stuck some nails in a 2x4 and been done much quicker and hang the tools the way they want to hang. Instead you spent a bunch of time trying to hang the tools sideways and then still ended up putting nails into it to hang your tools from.

@SawHorseDesignBuild Год назад

True, there are lots of ways to hold tools. I chose to cut slots and use nails as you stated, depending on the type of tool. The slots work well for the tool where the center of gravity is close to the head so it holds it better when the handle lifts.

@7628739 6 месяцев назад

Loose alot of space, but nice build

@SawHorseDesignBuild 6 месяцев назад

By going up you end up with a net gain on floor and wall space.

@shantahsieh2877 3 года назад

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

10 out of 10 YT Bots would agree with you.

@MAGAMAN Год назад

Never cut towards yourself, especially with power tools. That's just being stupid.

@SawHorseDesignBuild Год назад

I agree

@giterdun1864 3 года назад

O no, you failed. There's still tools in a " bucket".

@SawHorseDesignBuild 3 года назад

Good eye- these were brought to my house AFTER the video was created. The ones on the wall are my home DIY tools. The ones in the bucket were extra from a project at my office and need to find a new home. There are lots of duplicate tools that I'll take back to my office later.
