Do-it-yourself tool storage in the garage: how to do it rationally and conveniently? Organizers for tools: wall-mounted, mobile, stands Processing and painting of the finished product.
There is always not enough space in the garage box not only for storing unnecessary things, but also for the equipment that you are used to using on an ongoing basis. A do-it-yourself shield and tool stand in the garage will allow you to quickly organize the room and keep all the items in the right places. Let's take a closer look at each of the options.
Tool stand in the garage
A stand made of any material will be a convenient way to fix equipment on the wall in a garage box. The most important thing to understand is that heavy spare parts and tools cannot be placed on such a panel. But it is ideal for storing small items that you want to always have on hand. Moreover, any of the owners of garage boxes from improvised materials can make a stand for keys in the garage with their own hands.
Now all stand designs are divided into the following types:
- horizontal stands,
- vertical panels,
- inclined structures.
The most convenient garage owners are standard vertical stands. With their help, you can provide a tool on the wall in your personal garage right above the workbench and workplace.
Dashboard in the garage
In order to build a panel for a tool, you do not need to have professional skills. This problem is easily solved by purchasing perforated panels (the material can be tin or HDF) or economy panels (an MDF frame with a groove along the entire perimeter of the product).
Since we are talking about the independent manufacture of tool mounting options in the garage, we will analyze the option of making a panel from an MDF sheet or plywood. Here, first of all, you need to measure the place above the workbench and determine the size of the product itself. Then lay out a piece of plywood on the floor and lay out on it everything that needs to be laid on the selected panel. The last step is to drill holes in the selected mounting points and secure the hardware with screws. As a result, professional panels with tools in the garage are made quickly and simply - all that remains is to place them on the wall in the room.
It is important to know! Often, hooks are installed on the toolboard panel in the garage without rigid fixation. For garage owners, this raises many questions, because it is difficult to fix any things on them. You can only use hooks on the wall for junk in the garage.
Do-it-yourself tool shield in the garage
Garage shield is another easy way to stow all the necessary equipment in the room. If you want to place only a few sets of keys or nozzles on the shield, then you will need to cut 2 sheets of plywood, which will become the frame of the structure. It is best to place the entire tool at a distance of 3-4 centimeters between each other so that it is easy to get all the carpentry equipment.
Having decided on the final size of the frame, you need to make auxiliary options for the holders. Their width should be no more than 5-7 centimeters. The next step is that the holders need to be marked according to the standard sizes of the tool handles. It remains only to cut out the corresponding cells and fix the holders horizontally to the frame.
This is where the most convenient and simple options for arranging tools in the garage end. Watch the video below on this topic.
Installing the tool rack
The perforated shield can be mounted on a metal workbench or fastened to the wall with self-tapping screws. Especially for this, its dimensions correspond to the length of single-pedestal and two-pedestal models without pedestal. The screen is attached to the table with special stands and brackets. It is possible to install one or two panels. The cutouts on the panel flanging are made in such a way that it can be hung horizontally and vertically, which helps to optimally fill the area, bypassing the existing communications and terrain.
Mounting the grid on the wall is quite simple. On the back side there are 4 curly cutouts. 4 screws are screwed in, and then the panel is hung on them like a wall clock. You can make markings before drilling with any thin, sharp nail or awl on the front side. 
Mounting the tool on the shield
The pitch of the holes is 15mm. This allows you to fill the shield with the necessary tool as completely as possible. The distance between the hook attachment centers is 30mm. Diameter of openings of the punched screen - 5 mm. For screwdrivers, grips, and other small items, provided. Metal perforated panel Ferrum (Ferrum) is produced from high-strength steel with a thickness of 1.2 mm, which allows you to place heavy tools.The perforated screen is painted with a polymer coating that is resistant to temperature changes and aggressive substances.
Perforation loads
If the metal perforations are mounted on brackets on a workbench, the distributed load is 100 kg.
Many thematic forums on the Internet are full of reports on how best to store an instrument using a perforated panel. With us, your wish will come true. We will help you solve specific problems
Garage space is often combined with a workshop. The tool storage system in the garage should be thoughtful. Finished designs GOSNITI are considered optimal.
A home craftsman who wants to save money will need improvised materials. Complex mechanisms equipped with movable elements, it is forbidden just store.
To make the correct placement of the tool in the garage and clean up, there are the following options storage organization:
- on shelves;
- on the shelves;
- in cabinets;
- on stands;
- on shields.
There are shelves of various modifications:
- hinged;
- closed;
- stationary;
- mobile.
Various materials are used for their manufacture, such as metal or wood. Small parts require hanging shelves. They are usually located at the level of the chin of the owner of the garage. If the inventory has to use often, would be better for him. open structures, and in the closed store unnecessary things.
See how you can make an interesting do-it-yourself garage tool storage option:
The direct competitors of mobile shelves are movable boxes. The device has specialized containers for tools.
Factory tool racks in the garage are made in accordance with GOST. These ergonomic designs are easy to make with your own hands. To store large aggregates or tires, you will need large shelving.
If you want to make a tool cabinet in the garage with your own hands, then there should be special drawers or bags. This storage allows to avoid dust ingress. You can also rationally use side walls. With the help of special tool mounts in the garage, a place is equipped for fixing the planer. Can be placed on doors rubber hose holders.
A skilled craftsman will make a do-it-yourself tool stand in the garage. The material for its manufacture is chipboard sheet. Additionally used as tool holders canned metal cans.
How to store tools in the garage?
A convenient place to store shield, or storage panel, or simply tool board in the garage. Screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers are fixed on them. To make a shield for a tool in the garage with your own hands, use an array of boards and strong hooks. The configuration depends on the personal preferences of the master.

As you can see in the photo, storing a tool in a garage with your own hands is not at all difficult to organize. All you need is desire and a little patience.
Storage of keys with tools on the wall of the garage
How to fix the tool on the wall in the garage? The optimal tool storage system in the garage involves the use of the entire area of the wall.
- After installing the horizontal guides, they are hung on them. section-shelves. Small things like nails and screws can be put in plastic jars that have had mayonnaise or horseradish. Their lids are screwed to the shelves.
- Can be made for nuts, washers, scissors and keys stand in the garage by hand. Special loops make wire. Washers with nuts are strung on the split ends, and the dimensions of the fittings are indicated on cardboard labels. Scissors with keys are hung on metal hooks.
- For drills, cutters and storing keys in the garage, attach to the wall foam pad. They are firmly fixed in the elastic material and can be easily removed from it if necessary.
- Another method of attaching tools in the garage is disposable plastic plates. If you cut them into two equal parts, you get blanks. Then they are attached to the wall with self-tapping screws. The resulting pockets are used to store saw blades or grinding wheels.
- For storage of clamps it is recommended to use rectangular plywood box. It is attached to the wall and after that the handles of the clamps are placed in it.
- Sturdy wall mounts are designed to store bicycles. Their base must be metal.
- In order not to lose a screwdriver of the right size, they are used for storage magnetic holder. Then they are always visible.
- From hooks with paper clips, the craftsman will quickly make fixture for cloths intended for tape plates.
A convenient option for a tool storage panel in the garage that does not take up much space: 
A perforated tool panel is a flat-shaped metal sheet with through-cuts of a certain size and shape. In car services, service stations, workshops, garages and industrial premises, it is used to organize tools, equipment, consumables. In addition, they can be used for the manufacture of mobile and stationary exhibition stands for the sale of spare parts and consumables. As a rule, perforated panels with the Rg perforation type are used - with round holes located in straight rows without offset relative to the center of each other.
Panels with perforation in the Automaster catalog
The Avtomaster online store offers to buy a perforated screen for a workbench of the right size - from 1 to 2 meters in length.

In winter, doing carpentry in an unheated workshop is below average pleasure. But my hands are itchy. Therefore, I decided to implement a weekend project associated with more rough work - to install a tool panel next to the workbench.
Place for the future panel:
This problem can be solved with the help of perforated panels (made of tin or HDF) or economy panels (MDF with grooves along the entire length). On thematic forums, you can often find topics in which people brag about their workshops equipped with such panels. Looks really impressive.
But this option is not suitable for everyone. Despite the fact that the panels themselves are not cheap, you still need to buy hangers and hooks, the total cost of which will many times exceed the cost of the panel itself. In addition, the usability of hooks that do not have a rigid fixation raises questions. And it’s not clear how to fix some kind of home-made plywood suspension on such a panel?
I'll give you an example.
See the red gas wrench in the photo with a narrow hole in the handle? If, when removing, accidentally move it up a little, then the hook may come off the panel. Well, or the hook will need to be corrected. A trifle, of course, but you will have to distract time (even if only for a fraction of a second), attention and a second hand, which is likely to be busy. Of course, you can try to remove the gas key carefully so that it does not cling to anything, but doesn’t this hook require too much attention?
The same thing is likely to happen when trying to remove the red and blue handled pliers. Because the rubber grips will hook into the bracket like a Morse taper.
Although, of course, I could be wrong and my doubts are in vain.
Another detail - suspensions for just a pair of pliers and a pair of hammers will cost almost 500 rubles. As they say, count.
I am for simple and reliable solutions. Therefore, it was decided to use a sheet of ordinary 15 mm plywood as a panel. As suspensions and hooks, you can use ordinary self-tapping screws of various lengths at a price of two kopecks per kilogram, which will not go anywhere without your persistent desire. The same self-tapping screws can fix any homemade suspension. At the same time, the length of the part of the self-tapping screw sticking out of the panel can be precisely adjusted in place by screwing the self-tapping screw into the plywood even through and through. But for this, a gap must remain between the plywood and the wall.
The gap can be made using plastic washers for perforated panels. But it is more reliable to install the panel on a specially welded frame. This levels the unevenness of the wall, adds rigidity to the entire structure and allows you to set a gap of any size.
Of course, this method is also not free and not so glamorous, but it is much more practical.
I think the welding process is of little interest to anyone. The result is important. The frame is welded from my favorite fiftieth corner. All mounting holes are 8mm.
Align the frame on a sheet of plywood and mark the attachment points.
The holes in the plywood are a couple of millimeters wider than on the frame to level out minor inaccuracies.
I painted the frame with automotive paint from a can. Color - Snow Queen (with metallic). The instructions say that the paint must be applied at an ambient temperature of at least +15. However, there is no heating in the workshop and it was necessary to paint at -1. This did not affect the quality of the coverage. Most likely, the difference is only in the drying time.
The frame is attached to the wall with eight dowels 8x80. The fact is that the inter-garage wall, on which the panel is planned to be mounted, is only half a brick thick. As planned, a large number of attachment points should evenly distribute the load. In addition, some of the dowels were caught between the bricks, so their reliability is lower.
Now, looking at the finished result, I understand that it was possible to get by with half the dowels. But it's better to be overdressed than underdressed.
The plywood sheet is attached to the frame with thirteen 8x45 anchors.
Anchors are great for this task. To tighten a conventional nut with a bolt, you need access to both the nut and the bolt. But when the frame is already fixed to the wall, such access is not possible (especially when attaching plywood to the middle rail of the frame). But the anchor requires access from only one front side.
I can't even imagine what could go wrong. The only trouble that can theoretically happen with such a connection is if the nut and the edge of the hole in the corner bite through the anchor sleeve. But this is unlikely. Therefore, such a connection seems to me very reliable.
When the panel is ready, you can start placing the tool. First in line is a sledgehammer. Not having her own place, she constantly got in the way under her feet. At the same time, the prospect of its use in my workshop is vague. But you can't throw it away either. The tool! Therefore, I quickly welded a special bracket for it,
ennobled it all with spray paint
and placed in the farthest corner under the ceiling. Finally, I will stop tripping over it and, if necessary, it is always available.
A powerful frame and a large number of attachment points allow you not to think about the permissible load on the panel.
The panel area turned out to be a little more than a square meter - not a little, and there is some margin.
I installed the same toolbars in my country garage a few years ago. I used exactly the same anchors. The idea to weld a frame under the panel was born exactly there - this is due to the design of the walls. But the idea stuck.
All these years, the panels just do not get enough. In the country, I don’t use the tool so often, so something is forgotten. Sometimes it was easier to buy a new instrument than to find an old one in the rubble. Therefore, I have several building levels, several plumb lines, gas wrenches, axes and other things. In the economy, of course, everything is useful. But now I always know for sure and will not forget what tool I have, how much and where it is. The first few weeks you need to get used to the fact that each thing should have its own place. And when it becomes a habit, working in the workshop ceases to be a constant search for the right tool and stumbling over an unnecessary one.
In short, I recommend.
The whole job took a day and a half. It was possible to meet one, but without painting (I had to take a break for the paint to dry). In general, I am pleased with the result.
