[G38]Garden Tool Storage Racks
by Les Renshaw, Les
Many people find that the shape or size of their garden limits their choice of garden tool storage whilst others may already have a garden shed but need to find additional garden furniture storage space or garden bicycle storage. In both cases, there is a very wide range of garden tool storage solutions from a variety of manufacturers and there is a good choice of models, shapes and sizes to suit an astonishing variety of needs.

Many people also find that they have odd or unusual spaces, which are not easy to find a purpose for ? even by the most creative of gardeners. In these cases it's heartening to know that many garden tool storage products are designed to take advantage of these odd spaces. Some garden cycle storage items are designed to sit alongside low walls or beneath windows for example, whilst other garden furniture storage products are suitable for awkward shaped corners. A lot of garden bike storage products are especially designed to suit particular needs and it's quite easy to find a garden furniture storage product that has extra height or width to accommodate oddly shaped items.

On top of that, whether it's a safe and secure place to store tools and equipment and protect them from the weather, or an extra working space - perhaps as a potting shed for example - every gardener seems to have a different need for garden tool storage. Manufacturers of garden furniture storage and garden bike storage have responded to these needs with a whole range of clever ideas like lift-up lids, opening doors and removable panels, plus internal storage for e.g. pots, tools and materials, or fold-down panels that give extra working space.

So whether you need garden tool storage to store and protect lawnmowers and garden tools, or garden bicycle storage, or a place to put children's outdoor play equipment and toys, there's plenty to choose from. You may even want to use your garden tool storage to keep your barbecue along with its coals or gas bottle. It's no problem and you will easily find garden furniture storage that provides a safe, secure and lockable facility that will give many years of lasting satisfaction and practical value to suit the changing needs of households and families.

Amongst the very many garden tool storage items on the market, you'll find models made from wood, metal and plastic, in styles to suit all kinds of gardens from the traditional to the most modern. Many gardeners take advantage of the opportunity to make a feature out of their garden furniture storage, by placing it in a landscaping or planting scheme. Others will take their garden bike storage and fit it with trelliswork decked out with climbing flowers.

Many garden tool storage products are supplied as a complete kit including all parts and fixings and are relatively easy to assemble by the average person using only simple DIY tools and equipment. Some garden furniture storage products are supplied pre-treated and/or stained, whilst some garden cycle storage items are left natural for treatment, staining or painting as desired. Metal and plastic garden tool storage products are supplied in a choice of factory colours and finishes, which require no further finishing and are ready for instant use.

As spring creeps upon us it's time to consider what to do with all of the clutter we packed away as soon as it started to get cold. Many people have sheds and garages packed with things they'll need to get out again: bicycles, garden tools, sports equipment and more. If you're tired of going through this routine year in and year out, you need to find a storage solution that works all year round, where it's not only easy to get all of the seasonal gear you need, but where daily and long term storage are exactly the same. While many people are content to just drive nails to hang things and be done with it, nails bend, poke you when you walk by them, don't hold much and lead to an ugly looking storage space.

Pegboards are one of the most common garage storage solutions. A basic pegboard system is wood or treated cardboard with a series of holes. These holes hold hooks in any configuration you like, which can be used to hang your tools. Unfortunately, traditional pegboards have a number of problems. They grow, shrink and warp with as the seasons change. They can break or tear if they aren't mounted properly, and the holes wear and rip over time. As a result, most people banish their pegboards to one corner of their garage, tool shed or workshop ? hardly a solution that gets rid of the need to spring clean.

Fortunately, the pegboard concept can still work, but you need to have the right kind of pegboard. Metal pegboards don't have the breaking and warping issues of their wood and cardboard counterparts. Like any other product, metal pegboards come in different levels of quality. One tough, high quality steel pegboard is Ironsides Storage Solutions? Holey Rail?. The Holey Rail ? is made of thick steel with peg holes that are extruded, not drilled. This means that the pegboard holes are molded into place, so they won't compromise the integrity of the steel. As a result, this system can hold very heavy objects, including rakes, bicycles, large tools, bags and even plastic containers. The mounting will fail before the steel does, and if you mount it properly, that's unlikely to happen at all. Combined with large peg hooks and reinforcing peg strappers, the Holey Rail? serves as a permanent storage solution that's also accessible.

A garage storage solution like this will greatly simplify your spring cleaning. There don't need to be ?summer? and ?winter? storage locations for your bikes, garden tools or other seasonal equipment. You can confidently leave everything where it's supposed to be for the long term. This steel pegboard rating is easy to mount as well, because it won't bend between anchor points. Instead of having a small pegboard sitting just above your workbench, you can mount these across the entire inside of your garage or shed. Give steel pegboards a try. You'll cut your cleaning down and put everything you need to enjoy the warm weather close at hand.
