The suburban area requires constant care. Planting, watering and harvesting is one thing, and it is another thing to ennoble your hacienda. I love it when not only fruits and vegetables grow on my site, but the greenhouse is neat for them, and paths are laid, and benches for rest are located. I make everything myself, and often from scrap materials. I also appreciate it when everything is in its place: gardening tools, tools. Previously, I often thought about how to successfully place all the little things necessary for gardening so that I was always at hand. The idea came quite unexpectedly, when in the spring I was going to throw out the garbage from last year’s work.
From a picket fence
A year ago, I changed the fence on the site and left several sections of the picket fence in the barn. And, of course, I forgot safely. When I saw it in the spring, I immediately realized that I would make a hanger for tools out of it.
To begin with, I took it apart into fragments with a screwdriver, sanded it with a machine. I measured the length of the future organizer – I decided to make a few, but small, 40 centimeters in length. Sawed off the planks and re-fastened them with a connecting crossbar. I also slightly corrected it beforehand.
The base of the future hanger was painted with a brush with ordinary facade paint. I had a white one. If there are other colors in the store or if you want to buy, then get gray and blue to give a beautiful vintage look. To do this, rub the already prepared white body with a candle in different places, paint with a poorly mixed mixture of two colors. You should have stripes all over the wood surface.
When the future hanger dries up, sandpaper it and get white scuffs in the places where you smeared with a candle. I left the snow-white version and screwed with a screwdriver in a chaotic manner on the picket fence hooks for clothes, a couple of handles from an old kitchen cabinet. I also put several ordinary clothespins on the “liquid nails” – it is convenient to hang gloves, hang rags. I nailed two ready-made holders to the fence, and one more to the wall of the wooden shed.
From planks
In the same shed I kept some old pieces of wood up to a meter long. I also rubbed them with a grinder, adjusted them to the same length and covered them with a water-based impregnation to protect the wood from external influences.
I was going to build a solid structure to hang the shovels and rakes. For two connecting beams I chose a meter-long board, and for the body – 70 cm each. In total, I fit 8 such vertical boards. I twisted them with a screwdriver with two horizontal strips.
I placed the connecting beams at the top and bottom, and the horizontal beams were placed exactly in a row. It could have been put in a chaotic manner: a little bit higher, a little bit lower, a couple at a slight slope. But I decided to arrange it that way.
I made the hanger frame and started the functionality. After the repair in the bathroom, I still had a small piece of plastic pipe with a diameter of 11 cm. I cut four small pieces 10 cm high from it with a circular. To make the cut even, I first marked a line with a pencil. I sanded the details with sandpaper on all sides and screwed them in a row with self-tapping screws in the center of one of the edges of the wooden base.
Also with a screwdriver I attached strong hooks for coats and jackets to other boards on top. Place an old plastic container for storing nails and other stuff just below. In addition, I screwed the container for the hose to the very bottom – it is very convenient, now I do not stumble over it.
The entire holder was placed on the wall of the country house. I put shovels, brooms, rakes, big hoes in cylindrical stands, I hang a watering can and a bucket on hooks.
