Here is a close up of the hanging method we're using. Power strut with anchor bolts of varying lenghts to accomodate the various types of tools. Longer ones for lighter tools like rakes, and shorter ones for heavier tools like sledges and mauls. We can fit four or five shovels on a 12" anchor bolt. We use 16" for leaf rakes and 8 or 10" for the heavy stuff. With 40' of strut (two 20' long runs) we can slide and move the bolts to accomodate the tools.
We still don't have a good way to store loppers, pruners, weeding knives, etc. We need to find an efficient and appropriate space for garden hoses, chains/turnbuckels/straps, soil probes, and the such.
I thought about some sort of bins for the pruners, weeding knives, soil probes, etc. We've got another shelf set up for debris bags, active gas cans, tarps (plastic and bulldog), etc. I could build in some sort of intermediate shelving on the pallet racking that would accomodate the smaller stuff that we use regularly. The idea being that we keep all like toos in one area that is easy to access and account for everything.
I'd still be very interested in seeing how other people are storing their tools and equipment. What has worked and what hasn't?
