My goal is to get everything organized and secure, so no unsuspecting victims get a rake to the eye when they open the door. I've rounded up some of the best ideas for garden tool storage, so hopefully you can get this problem area under control in your own home!

Garden Tool Storage Ideas
Getting clunky landscaping power tools off the floor and onto the wall is important for safety and for keeping the tools in good working order.
This simple garden tool storage rack allows you to hang your leaf blower, string trimmer and more, with a handy shelf for the battery charger, safety gear and extra string reels.
I have a hard time keeping track of all my hand tools. Half the time, they get left in the garden to rust in between planting sessions. This handy hanging garden tool organizer gives them all their own labeled spot, making it easy to see what I'm missing.
This potting bench is the perfect spot for all your gardening tools, with plenty of room for hanging hand tools and storing extra pots. As an added bonus, it hooks up to the garden hose for a working sink in your backyard! You can get the free woodworking plans to build your own by clicking the link below.
Pegboard and heavy duty pegboard hooks are the standard when it comes to wall storage and organization. But have you ever tried to hang seed packets on a hook? This genius idea uses an acrylic bathroom organizer like this one and cute labels to store seeds for future planting.
Hooks aren't always the best option for heavy garden tool storage. This system uses PVC pipe cut at an angle and mounted to the wall for quick yet secure access.
If you're purging old tools while cleaning out your shed, don't toss that rusty rake! Repurpose it for smaller garden tool storage by turning it into hooks. No sacrificial rake on hand? You can get just the rake head here.
Hoses can be quite an eyesore, but it's so tempting to just leave them in a pile by the water spigot! This genius garden hose storage box is as beautiful as it is functional, by hiding it in plain sight inside a cedar planter box!
Keep a second set of small garden tools and gloves in a mailbox, where they can stay dry and easily accessible. Just make sure not to put it somewhere that would confuse your mailman!
I always have a bucket on hand in the garden for any weeds I come across. Take the humble bucket up a notch by making a tool belt to wrap around the outside. Having all your garden tools attached to a bucket means you can just grab it and go!
A good gardener is always prepared, whether they're confronting weeds or the zombie apocalypse. Keep those sharp tools on hand, just in case! 🙂
Inspired by all these garden tool storage solutions? I'd love to see your organized shed or garage! Feel free to tag me on Instagram to share your ideas!

Storage garden tools was my problem. I had much time to finding one of them. After that, I found some ways to store it. I made a hanger to store my garden hose...and many things else. And your information gives me other ideas. Many thanks and happy gardening
