Continuing the topic, we will tell you about anywhere.
A garage space is often combined with a workshop. The system for storing tools in the garage should be thoughtful... Ready-made constructions GOSNITI are considered optimal.
The DIYer who wants to save money will need materials at hand... Complex mechanisms equipped with movable elements, it is forbidden easy to store.
To make the correct placement of the tool in the garage and put things in order, there are the following options organizing storage:
- 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 inventory has often use, for him are better suited open structures, and unnecessary things are kept in closed ones.
See how you can make an interesting option for storing a garage tool with your own hands:
Direct competitors of mobile shelves are movable boxes... The device has specialized containers for the tool.
Factory garage tool racks are made in accordance with GOST... These ergonomic designs are easy to DIY. To store large units or tires, you will need large shelving.

Convenient panel for storing tools in the garage, which does not take up much space: 
Reading time: 6 minutes
Many different tools and inventory are collected in the garage or workshop. If you don't think about the storage system, then finding the right item is not so easy. To put your garage in perfect order and save time spent looking for a specific tool, you need to collect all the necessary items in one convenient area. The wall mounting system is ideal for this. Thanks to this arrangement of tools in the room, it is cluttered, and useful area is freed up. All the necessary devices are placed in plain sight.
Top Best Ideas for Tool Storage
Since instruments are long and short, large and small, different in shape, the ways of storing them differ. There are several techniques for organizing tools. Below are the most convenient and popular ones that you can do with your own hands right on the wall.
Vertical storage rack type
One of the varieties of vertical storage of tools is a system in the form of shelving. The most necessary tools should be placed on the shelves, which can be placed within close reach. Items that are required less often are removed to the far racks on the upper or lower shelves. Metal garage shelves - IF systems - are perfect for this.
By type of installation, racks can be:
- stationary and collapsible;
- rotating or movable;
- hinged, retractable.
But even with a large selection of options, the proposals will not always satisfy the necessary needs of the garage owner. Therefore, it is recommended to combine purchased racks with hand-made holders and shelves, or to completely design a wall-mounted storage system yourself.
Self-made vertical shelves made of wood with slots for storing wrenches and screwdrivers are very convenient. They can easily accommodate adapter sleeves for fastening tools with a tapered shank of different sizes or pliers.
A vertical rack in the form of a mobile stand is an excellent choice for placing tools at hand. It is recommended to make it out of wood or plywood. Individual groups of tools are placed on hooks, magnets or shelves. Special perforated panels are often used for a vertical storage system.
Magnetic tape
The magnetic tape is easy and convenient to use. The magnetic strips are taken to attach the tool and mounted on the wall storage system. A wide variety of tools can be attached to the tape, from small metal wrenches and screwdrivers to large objects.
Plastic containers
You can easily organize the storage of even the smallest items by assembling the system from small containers. They can store:
- small parts, drills for drills;
- nails, nuts and screws, screws;
- buttons, clips and more.
The most affordable way is plastic bottles of different sizes or plastic containers, as well as small glass jars. The containers can be stacked vertically on shelves or attached directly to the wall to save space.
Opaque plastic jerrycans with a cut off top are fine too. They can be signed or numbered if desired.
Organizers
To store small parts and items, you can easily design an organizer with your own hands:
- They take any drawer from an old unnecessary table and make many small partitions from cardboard or plywood inside it. Thanks to the separate cells, all the small necessary parts will always be in their place, sorted by configuration.
- If you make the organizer yourself, then you need to take a piece of polystyrene - this will be the bottom of the organizer, and for the walls and partitions - PVC (glue to the bottom), you can use transparent plastic or glass for the lid.
- You can easily and quickly make an organizer for screwdrivers. It can be made according to the instructions, as in paragraphs 1 or 2. And you can drill holes of the required diameters in a block of wood or foam, then attach it to the wall and insert a screwdriver into the holes. All items will be visible and will not be lost.
- Another variant of the organizer is assembled from cans of different sizes. Tins are quickly and firmly attached to a vertical wall in any convenient position and are filled with either small parts or tools.
Garden tool stand
Gardening tools always take up a lot of space, clutter up the aisles. This can be avoided by choosing one of the walls of the garage or workshop and converting it to store garden tools. It is recommended to use ordinary PVC pipes to create a storage system, make holders from them according to the size of garden tools and other things:
- shovels, buckets, rake;
- bicycle;
- skis and ski poles, sledges, skates.
There are very simple options for fastening the tool in the garage:
- Racks for garden tools. They are made from ordinary wooden pallets. It is leaned against the wall with its bottom and fixed with self-tapping screws, slats of any size are nailed to the sides.
- Another easy way is to use ordinary strong and reliable wooden or metal hooks along the entire wall, where you can hang inventory, extension cords of various sizes. Stronger brackets and shelves can be used to store wheels, tires, inflatable boat.
Storing garden and work tools and other things with a wall system and stands is convenient and popular.
Do-it-yourself 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 they make roomy floor shelves and racks 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.
Required tool
For the manufacture of the rack, prepare the tools:
- measuring tape, square, level;
- saw, grinder;
- fasteners;
- hammer, drill.
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 from 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.
Component manufacturing
The procedure for manufacturing the rack and accessories is as follows:
- To the specified dimensions, cut vertical racks from a bar and boards or plywood into shelves, prepare a perforated panel. Designate shelf spaces.
- 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 coat the parts with anti-corrosion paint.
- Shelves are assembled from boards. They are pressed tightly together and hammered together with nails or self-tapping screws.
- 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 boards along the frame, then there is a possibility that they will sag under the weight of the tools.
- The structure is assembled with self-tapping screws, nails and wood glue.
- The joints of all parts are additionally reinforced with metal corners.
- The whole structure is installed to the wall and fixed with metal brackets.
- Shelves with saws, holders, magnetic tapes, racks, containers and organizers are manufactured separately in the required quantity.
- 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.
Assembly
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 equipment, 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.
In winter, doing carpentry in an unheated workshop is below average pleasure. But my hands itch. Therefore, I decided to implement a weekend project associated with a rougher job - to install a toolbar next to the workbench.
Place for the future panel:
This task can be solved using perforated panels (made of sheet metal or HDF) or economy panels (MDF with grooves along the entire length). On thematic forums, you can often find threads in which people brag about their workshops equipped with such panels. It looks really impressive.
But this option is not for everyone. Despite the fact that the panels themselves are not cheap, you also need to buy suspensions and hooks, the total cost of which will many times exceed the cost of the panel itself. In addition, the usability of hooks that do not have a rigid fixation raises questions. And it is not clear how to fix some homemade plywood suspension on such a panel?
Let me give you an example.
Do you see a red gas wrench with a narrow hole in the handle in the photo? If you accidentally push it up a little when removing it, the hook may jump off the panel. Or the hook will need to be fixed. A trifle, of course, but you have to divert time (even if only for a split second), attention and the other hand, which is likely to be busy. Of course, you can try to remove the gas key carefully so that it does not catch on anything, but does this hook require too much attention to itself?
The same will most likely happen when trying to remove the red and blue handled pliers. Because the rubber grips will hook into the bracket like a Morse taper.
Although, of course, I could be wrong and my doubts are in vain.
One more detail - suspensions for just a pair of pliers and a pair of hammers will cost almost 500 rubles. As they say, count it.
I am for simple and reliable solutions. Therefore, it was decided to use a sheet of ordinary 15 mm plywood as a panel. As suspensions and hooks, you can use ordinary screws of various lengths at the price of two kopecks per kilogram, which will not go anywhere without your persistent desire. The same self-tapping screws can be used to fix any homemade suspension. At the same time, the length of the part of the self-tapping screw sticking out of the panel can be accurately adjusted in place by screwing the self-tapping screw into the plywood at least through and through. But for this, there must be a gap between the plywood and the wall.
The gap can be made using plastic washers for perforated panels. But it is safer to install the panel on a specially welded frame. This will level the unevenness of the wall, add rigidity to the entire structure and allow you to set a gap of any size.
Of course, this method is also not free and not so glamorous, but it is much more practical.
Few people are interested in the welding process. The result is important. The frame is welded from my favorite fiftieth corner. All mounting holes are 8 mm.
Align the frame on a sheet of plywood and mark the attachment points.
The holes in the plywood are a couple of millimeters wider than in the frame to compensate for minor inaccuracies.
I painted the frame with automotive paint from a spray can. Color - Snow Queen (with metallic). The instructions say that paint must be applied at an ambient temperature of at least +15. However, there is no heating in the workshop and I had to paint at -1. This did not affect the quality of the coating. Most likely, the only difference is the drying time.
The frame is fixed to the wall with eight 8x80 dowels. The fact is that the inter-garage wall, on which the panel is planned to be installed, is only half a brick thick. By design, a large number of attachment points should evenly distribute the load. In addition, some of the dowels were caught between the bricks, so their reliability is lower.
Now, looking at the finished result, I understand that it was possible to do with half the dowels. But here it is better to overdo it than not to miss it.
The plywood sheet is attached to the frame with thirteen 8x45 anchors.
Anchors are great for this task. To tighten a regular nut with a bolt, you need access to both the nut and the bolt. But when the frame is already fixed to the wall, such access is not possible (especially when attaching the plywood to the middle crossbar of the frame). But the anchor requires access only from one front side.
I can't even imagine what could go wrong. The only trouble that can theoretically happen with such a connection is if the nut and the edge of the hole in the corner bite the anchor sleeve. But this is unlikely. Therefore, such a connection seems to me to be very reliable.
When the panel is ready, you can start placing the tool. The first in line is the sledgehammer. Having no place of her own, she constantly got in the way. At the same time, the prospect of using it in my workshop is vague. But you can't throw it away either. The tool is! Therefore, I quickly welded a special bracket for her,
ennobled it all with spray paint
and placed it in the farthest corner under the ceiling. Finally, I will stop stumbling over it and, if necessary, it is always available.
A robust frame and a large number of attachment points allow you not to worry about the permissible panel load.
The area of the panel turned out to be a little more than a square meter - not small and there is some margin.
I installed the same toolbars in my garage at my dacha a few years ago. I used exactly the same anchors. The idea to cook a frame for a panel was born exactly there - this is due to the construction of the walls. But the idea stuck.
All these years, the panels are simply not overjoyed. At the dacha, I do not use the tool so often, so something is forgotten. Sometimes it was easier to buy a new instrument than to find an old one in the rubble. Therefore, I have several building levels, several plumb lines, gas keys, axes and more. On the farm, of course, everything will come in handy. But now I always know for sure and will not forget what instrument I have, how much and where it is. The first few weeks you need to get used to the fact that every thing should have its own place. And when it becomes a habit, work in the workshop ceases to be a constant search for the right tool and stumbling over the unnecessary.
In short, I recommend it.
The whole work took one and a half days off. It was possible to keep within one, but without painting (I had to take a break to dry the paint). Overall, I am happy with the result.
In almost any work area of a home workshop, in a garage, on a balcony or in a utility room, there is a place for a perforated panel. It is convenient to store tools for a long time in closed boxes, however, it is advisable to keep the most common tool in sight, literally - at eye level. Our assortment includes a variety of perforated panels, hooks and trays just for the home workshop.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the material from which the perforated panels are made. Economical from HDF, wood material, it is high-density MDF or metal from galvanized steel. If there is a temperature difference in the room, it is better to use perforated galvanized panels. Let's dwell on them in more detail.
2 types of perforation. Round for 4 mm wire hooks. Perforation step 25 mm. And longitudinal slots for attaching removable metal trays. The perforated panels themselves are of two types of wall mounting: rigidly self-tapping screws and removable panels.
Perforated panels for wall mounting 600 x 800 and 600x600 mm.
Removable perforated 300x600 and 300x800 mm. They are hung on vertical guides. As a constructor, you can make any configuration with various combinations of shelves, perforated panels, rails for storing large tools. The system is modular, you can create any configuration of the working area and, if necessary, change it, since all elements are removable. You will see more details in the photo and video gallery and in our catalog.
