A wide range of practical equipment makes gardening easier. If you don't want to waste time looking for a hoe, spade and hammer, you can hang up your garden tools neatly and clearly. These tips reveal how you can easily make the right device holder yourself.

Hanging garden tools saves space and looks tidy

Build a hook railing yourself - this is how it works

A variety of small and large hand tools for gardening are equipped with a suspension strap. A stable bar with hooks should therefore not be missing in any tool shed. You can buy the useful device ready-made in a hardware store or build it yourself. You need 1 piece of round wood, 2 wooden blocks, screws, wood glue and double hooks. How to do it:

  • Bevel the edges on both wooden blocks and sand them smooth
  • Drill a blind hole on the inside with the diameter of the log
  • Glue the log in place with the glue
  • Screw the bar into the wall

Finally, hang the double hooks on the round wood to hang up your garden tools.

Make a holder for garden tools with a handle yourself - step-by-step instructions

Anyone who has ever accidentally stepped on a rake and had a painful collision with the high-flying handle will appreciate a device holder for handle tools. This is where the garden tool is stored with the working head up. You need 2 boards, 2 strips of the same length, HT pipes or comparable plastic pipes, glue and screws. How to proceed professionally:

  • Drill holes for the HT pipes with a diameter of 40 mm at a distance of 25 cm in the upper board
  • Make corresponding depressions in the base board with a Forstner bit
  • Glue the strips to the boards

First screw the base board to the wall. The correct distance of the upper holding board determines the length of the plastic tubes. Once you have attached both boards of the tool holder, insert the tubes to insert the handles of your garden tools.

Euro pallet - the quick device holder

Creative gardeners have discovered wooden Euro pallets (€29.99) for building flower boxes or cold frames. Set upright, the wooden pallet transforms into a practical device holder for garden tools with handles.

Store small garden tools cleverly - this is how it works in the old bicycle basket

You can attach individual hanging devices to the wall for small garden tools such as hand shovels, grass shears, hoseheads or screwdrivers. It is easier and cheaper to use a worn-out bicycle basket. The two openings at the back are perfect for hanging with screws and nails or self-adhesive hooks.

If space is tight in your tool shed, simply hang your new collecting station for garden tools on the inside of the door. Incidentally, whetstones, gloves and protective goggles are also in good hands here and ready to hand if you want to sharpen a blunt blade in between.

tips

The most ingenious device holder is a wasted effort when dirty garden tools are dangling from it. Remnants of soil, plant sap and resin stick to your valuable garden tools and cause them to rust within a short time. If you treat spades, scissors, lawn mowers etc. to a short care program after work, you will be able to enjoy smooth operation for a long time to come.
