Stop The Shed Chaos
Tools in a pile on the floor, stuff falling over every time you open the door, can't find anything. A proper rack sorts it - everything in its place, easy to grab.
💡 Shed reality: If tools are awkward to put away, they end up on the floor. Make storage easy and you'll actually use it.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit it yourself? Here's how:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Tool rack or rail system
- Spirit level
- Stud finder (for timber sheds)
- Drill and appropriate bits
- Screws suitable for your wall
- Pencil for marking
🎯 Installation method
- Decide on height (waist to chest height usually)
- Find wall studs or solid structure
- Hold rack up, mark fixing positions with level
- Drill pilot holes
- Screw rack to wall securely
- Test with weight before loading fully
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not finding studs (rack pulls out of thin panel)
- Screws too long (come through outside wall)
- Not checking level (wonky rack looks terrible)
- Mounting too high (can't reach tools)
- Overloading weak fixings (whole thing falls off)
💡 Pro trick: For shed walls with thin cladding, fit a horizontal backing board between the studs first (screwed into the studs), then mount your rack to that. Gives you solid fixing anywhere along the length, not just at stud positions.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Organization tip: Group similar tools - long handles together, hand tools together, frequently-used stuff at easy reach height. Makes finding things much quicker.
Weight capacity matters: Cheap racks look fine but bend under the weight of wet-soiled spades. Get decent quality ones or they'll be on the floor within months.
Multiple wall space? If you've got several walls to organize, I can fit racks on multiple walls in one visit. Makes the whole shed usable instead of one wall sorted and the rest still chaos.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tool racks can you fit?
Wall-mounted racks, rail systems with hooks, custom setups - whatever suits your shed and tools. Some people buy ready-made racks, others want me to build a custom setup. Both work.
Will it fit on my shed wall?
As long as there's solid structure to fix to - timber frame, brick, block wall - it'll work. Thin shed walls might need backing boards to give proper fixing points. I'll work out what's needed.
How many tools will it hold?
Depends on the rack size and your wall space. A standard 4ft rail system holds 8-12 long-handled tools (spades, rakes, hoes, etc). Multiple racks or custom setups hold more.
How long does fitting take?
About 20-30 minutes for a standard wall rack. Find the studs or solid fixing points, level it up, screw it to the wall. Quick job that makes a big difference.
