Garden tool storage fitted in your garage. Wall-mounted racks and hooks to get spades, forks, rakes, and hand tools off the floor and properly organised.
Stop Tripping Over Tools in the Garage
Garden tools scattered across the floor or stacked in a corner is annoying - and dangerous when you're reversing the car in. Wall-mounted storage gets everything off the ground and actually findable when you need it.
💡 Pro tip: Hanging tools on the wall frees up so much floor space. Plus you can actually see what you've got instead of digging through a pile.

What to Expect
Step 1: Assessment
I look at what tools you need to store and measure the wall space available. Work out the best mounting system.
Step 2: Installation
Racks go up securely - fixed to wall studs if it's a stud wall, or solid fixings if brick/block.
Step 3: Organisation
Tools get hung up so they're easy to grab. Heavy stuff lower down, lighter tools higher up.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to sort your own tool storage? Here's how:
🔧 Tools needed
- Drill with masonry or wood bits
- Spirit level
- Tape measure and pencil
- Screwdriver
- Stud finder (for stud walls)
📏 Planning the layout
- Group similar tools together
- Put most-used tools at easy-to-reach height
- Leave space between tools so you can grab them
- Consider what goes underneath - don't block other storage
🛠️ Fitting process
- Find wall studs (if stud wall) - that's where you fix
- Mark out where racks will go
- Check they're level before drilling
- Use appropriate fixings for your wall type
- Test each mount with weight before hanging tools
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Fixing to plasterboard only (pulls out under weight)
- Putting tools too close together (can't grab them)
- Mounting too high (can't reach)
- Not checking what's behind the wall first (water pipes, cables)
💡 Pro trick: Paint an outline of each tool on the wall behind where it hangs. Sounds daft but you'll always know where everything goes and spot what's missing instantly.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Sorting the whole garage? Combine tool storage with bike hooks, shelf fitting, or a workbench install - more efficient to do it all together.
Wall type matters: Brick walls are straightforward - standard wall plugs. Stud walls need fixing to the timber frame. Block walls sometimes need special fixings. I'll use whatever's appropriate.
Heavy tools: Spades, mattocks, and heavy forks need proper fixings. I'll make sure they're secure before hanging anything heavy.
Damp garages: Metal racks can rust. Plastic-coated or stainless options last better if your garage gets condensation. Worth considering if it's an issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of tool storage system do you fit?
Usually simple wall-mounted racks or hooks - depends what tools you've got. For long-handled stuff like spades and rakes, I fit horizontal clips or hooks. For smaller hand tools, pegboard or tool bars work well. I'll work out what suits your tools and space.
Can you fit storage for lots of different tools?
Yes - a combination system works best if you've got various tools. Hooks for spades and forks, smaller holders for trowels and shears, maybe a shelf for pots and sprays. I'll plan it out based on what you actually need to store.
Do I need to buy the racks first?
Not unless you've already got something specific in mind. I can supply and fit standard tool racks, or work with what you've bought. Just let me know what you want to store and I'll sort out what's needed.
How much weight can the wall take?
Depends on the wall - brick and block are solid, I can hang heavy tools no problem. Stud walls need fixing to the timber frame. I check what you've got and use the right fixings - the tools won't be pulling out.
Can you also fit hooks for bikes or ladders?
Absolutely. Makes sense to do it all in one go if you're organising the garage. Just mention what else needs hanging when you book.
