Title: Inexpensive yard / garden tool rack
Post by: stlaser on July 19, 2019, 04:57:44 PM

Cost me a 2x4 and some screws with a bit of glue, 2” hole saw needed and drill hole saw plugs half way from each side for easy removal.

If I had to make it again every other hole would be offset back.

I made one out of pvc.  The only issue is you have to lift the tool so high to get them out my wife struggles with the larger things like leaf rakes

I did see another idea where the gent turned the 45 degree the other direction and gravity held them in place.    He then cut the front of the pvc out so you could slip the tool in.

Made by Rockwell, ok I guess if you need a wood top and they fold up halfway decent for storage. I personally like my sumner stands from amazon much better but they have a v notch steel top (for pipe work etc).

Dave, move you top horizontal board down, it will still hold the tools and wife can access them. Bottom one could be rotated 90 degrees and push handles out so the tools cant towards wall too. Just a thought

Not a bad idea, I am due for a second set of tool holder.
