Pressure washer hooks and brackets mounted on garage walls. Heavy-duty fixings that'll hold the weight, positioned for easy access. Keep your power washer off the floor.
Get It Off The Floor
Pressure washer lives on the garage floor where you trip over it, reverse into it, and generally curse its existence. Takes up valuable space. Gets dirty and in the way.
Wall-mounted = floor space freed up, easy to grab when you need it, hose storage sorted.
💡 Pro tip: Pressure washers are heavier than they look. Don't use cheap hooks - they'll rip straight out of the wall. Heavy-duty fixings are essential.
Proper Storage vs Floor Dumping

| Protected from damage | Gets knocked, reversed into |
| Hose stored with it | Hose in a tangled heap |
| Easy to access | Buried under other stuff |
Reality: Wall mounting takes 30 minutes and transforms garage usability.

🔧 DIY Tips
Mounting pressure washer storage yourself is straightforward:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill and masonry bit
- Heavy-duty wall plugs and screws
- Spirit level
- Pencil for marking
- Someone to help test weight
📐 Positioning
- Height: Waist to chest - easy to lift on/off
- Near door: Quick access for outside jobs
- Solid wall: Brick or block, not plasterboard
- Clear floor below: If it falls, better not onto something expensive
🔩 Mounting
- Use heavy-duty wall plugs (pressure washers are 10-25kg)
- Two fixings minimum, ideally four
- Tighten firmly but don't crack the hook
- Test with actual pressure washer before trusting it
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using lightweight hooks (bend or break)
- Mounting too high (difficult to lift pressure washer)
- Inadequate wall fixings (rips out under weight)
- Not testing before loading it with pressure washer permanently
💡 Pro trick: Get a hook with a wide cradle or use two hooks. Single small hook concentrates all weight in one spot. Two points of contact distributes load and makes it more stable.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Quick job: This is literally the minimum callout - 20-30 minutes work. Makes sense to combine with other garage jobs if you're having work done anyway.
Hook types:
- Heavy-duty garage hooks (£5-10 each)
- Specific pressure washer brackets (£15-30)
- Garage rail systems with pressure washer holder
- All work, just depends what you prefer
Hose storage: Most pressure washer brackets include somewhere to wrap the hose. If using basic hooks, add a second hook nearby for the hose reel.
Lance and attachments: Consider where you'll store the lance, nozzles, and brushes. Small shelf or basket nearby keeps everything together.
Weight ratings: Check hook rating. Cheap hooks say "up to 20kg" but that's optimistic. Get hooks rated for more than you think you need.
Petrol washers: If it's a petrol model, consider fuel storage. Don't store with full tank long-term - fuel goes stale. Either use it up or drain it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of hook do I need for a pressure washer?
Heavy-duty storage hook or bracket - pressure washers are surprisingly heavy. Some people use garage storage systems with specific pressure washer holders, others just use big hooks. I can advise what'll work for your model when I see it.
Do I need to buy the hook first?
Yeah - get a hook or bracket rated for the weight. Pressure washers are 10-20kg usually. Big storage hooks from Screwfix or a proper pressure washer wall bracket both work. Don't use lightweight picture hooks!
Where's best to mount it?
Somewhere you can easily lift it on and off - pressure washers aren't light. Usually near the door for easy access outside. Wall height around waist to chest works - high enough to clear the floor, low enough to lift comfortably.
Can you store the hose with it?
Most pressure washer brackets have hose storage built in. Otherwise I can add a separate hook for the hose nearby. Makes sense to keep it all together.
Will it hold an electric and a petrol washer?
Petrol washers are heavier - need to check hook weight rating. Electric ones are usually 8-12kg, petrol 15-25kg. I'll make sure whatever we're using is rated appropriately.
