Homemade device usually made of wood treated with impregnation Is an inexpensive and durable material that is easy to work with.

The stand can be built from ready-made pallets - the main thing is that the structure is stable. Thanks to the many compartments, garden tools do not fall, they are easy to store and take out.

The main advantage of garden cabinets is the presence of doors that hide an unsightly picture. The structure can stand separately in the depths of the summer cottage, or be attached to the wall of a house or shed.

Hozbloks are sold ready-made, but with due diligence, such a building can be built from scrap materials and create filling for your own needs. Several hooks should be nailed (for a hose and small things), shelves, rails or a vertical stand should be installed.

Another option is to use an old wardrobe protected by stain or paint. It is important that the structure fits into the landscape design.

In the photo there is a spacious wooden utility block, where not only the internal space is used, but also the doors.

Mobile box

A wooden cube-shaped structure is a fun and aesthetic way to store your garden tool. The base of the drawer is three perforated shelves. The holes provide stability for long-handled implements. On the sides there are hooks for various small items, and at the bottom there are furniture wheels that help to move the box to any place.

Pipe holders

Remaining plastic pipes with a suitable diameter are a great way to place shovels and rakes in an upright position. To do this, a wooden rail should be attached to the wall of a shed or garage, and if there are a lot of tools, a frame should be put together from several slats.

The PVC pipe must be cut into cylinders of the same size and carefully secured with a screwdriver.

Such holders are popular with gardeners, but there is an opinion that it is inconvenient to immerse tools in pipes - for this, the shovels have to be lifted high to the ceiling. The problem is easily solved by cutting the pipe from the side.

Bar holders

Another simple organizer for gardening tools, the idea of ​​which was spied on the windows of construction and hardware stores. Of course, you can find ready-made metal holders, but a home-made design has significant advantages: it does not require costs and is created individually in accordance with the number and size of inventory.

Before you cut the bars and nail them to the base, you need to accurately calculate the distance that the forks and rakes take when suspended.

The photo shows a simple construction of six short bars - they are nailed directly to the wooden frame of the shed.

Barrel

If there is a strong but leaky tank lying around in the garden, it can be turned into a pretty organizer for garden tools. In a plastic barrel, it is enough to make holes in the lid and make the base heavier, and a regular tank should be equipped with a grate. The barrel organizer resembles a huge pencil holder and looks very original.

For owners of flat tracks and low tools, a ready-made barrel on wheels, equipped with a convenient handle, a bucket and pockets for small items, is suitable. The product performs two functions at once: it easily moves around the site and stores inventory.

Sand basin

Many are familiar with the idea of ​​placing small garden tools in a tin can of sand.

The instruction is simple: fill the container with dry sand, add machine oil and place the tools. The sand combined with oil prevents them from dulling and also helps to remove dirt and rust.

The problem is that machine oil leaves an unpleasant smell on the hands, and after using a pruner or a scapula, particles of chemistry settle on the stems and fall into the ground.Solution to the problem - the use of natural linseed oil, brought to a boil. It is poured into sand, thereby ensuring environmental friendliness and safety of storage.

Stand

Such an organizer resembles a fire shield - a convenient design that has been proven over the years. At such a stand, all the inventory is in plain sight and maintaining order does not cause difficulties.

The device can be made without much cost, simply by driving long nails into the slats at equal distances from each other.

Another variant - make holders from two boardsby sawing out the side holes with a feather drill. The product must be sanded, covered with a protective compound and fixed to the surface at the same level.

Pictured is a tool stand made of two long rails and nails.

Perforated shelving

Shedding garden tool storage is taken to the next level by using a perforated board fixed to the wall. No more shelves and containers - tools are not lost, but hang in their places.

It is convenient that even small objects are in plain sight, and the work surface remains free.

The essence of a perforated board is simple: numerous holes allow you to place fasteners at different heights and change them at your own discretion. Suitable for both spacious and confined spaces.

And you can see how the rack looks in the interior here.

DIY organizers

Garden tool storage can be a creative process. For small items - pruning shears, gloves, knife, hoe - a hand-made can organizer is perfect.

To create, you will need several containers with safe edges, a rail, a carrying handle and screws for fixing. We recommend painting the finished product.

Another mobile organizer is easy to make from a metal bucket and old jeans. Larger tools are usually stored inside, and lighter things on the outer pockets. The device is convenient to carry and place next to the beds while working in the garden.

Unusual storage ideas

To organize a storage place for inventory in the country, it is not necessary to waste the family budget. Many devices are easy to make with your own hands, using imagination and materials at hand.
