if only I had seen this before starting some complicated version with 2 x 4 arms. ahhhh. will be doing this with the rest of my garden tools . frickin genius simplicity.
Precisely what I was thinking about doing. Thanks for the proof of concept here. Nicely done! A little time and $20 beats the $$$ on Amazon for rack systems only half as good as this one. I added a second rack about 2-3 feet directly below the first. I hang a few things there too but also I found that adding a pair of pipes on the lower rack in line with the shovel handles keeps the shovels in good order. I followed your suggestion and just drilled a series of holes 3” apart to make it easily adjustable. Works great!
Great idea. I've got plenty of conduit/curtain rods hanging about doing nothing. Now I've got a purpose for these. Saved me a bit of money buying not having to buy the hooks.
Great ideas! Neat storage of tools for convenience and safety! 😄 I learn so much every time I watch your videos. Wish I had known these tricks when I was younger!😆❤🛠
Nice! I'm going to build one just like this! I think you'll find, as time goes on, that if you have the wall space to make room for more spaces would be beneficial. Some of the shovels do different jobs so keeping the spades seperate from the pointed shovels will help. Likewise with garden rakes and leaf rakes. Just so you don't have to hunt to the back of your piles :)
OMG! I’d planned to buy lumber this Saturday to do the double-2x4 hangers until I just found this. Nice job! So, I hung 4x8 OSB panels on my studs. I’m trying to decide if I should remove it in order to do this project or just leave it and drill through it. Any thoughts on that? The one advantage to uninstalling this one piece is that I could put some shelving in between the studs.
I think there was a missed opportunity to not utilize the space in between the studs. I saw another video where she put the shelves/racks in between so things looked much for flush.
That’s true, but notice that the studs in his shed aren’t uniformly spaced. He would have to measure and cut a lot of individual sized pieces of wood for in-between the studs. The method he uses is a lot faster and easier.
They seem to go in tightly but I have had a few that ended up feeling loose and I just screwed a metal screw through the 2x4 and into the pipe and that seemed to fix it.
Yeah, I was thinking of putting some kind of rubber cap over it but didn’t know where to find such a cap. I haven’t ran into them yet but have come close a few times.
@@SimonSaysDIY i am a retired electrician. most of us used channel lock model 420 channel locks for 1/2 and 3/4 conduit to deburr or ream the pipe to prevent damaging the insulation of the wire. the plier ends for the inside and the main jaws for the outside.works perfect.
@@Kevin8U2b Wouldn't that limit where he can hang his tools? I am having the same problem he is with the amount of tools, and if you could explain a little bit better how to solve it another way without taking up so much space, it would be helpful
@@robwilliams2265 this video is a fantastic idea. I hate to try to add overtly much to an idea that's not mine, but it sounds like you'll have to measure your wall. Mark the ground outside your toolshop to the exact dimensions of your wall and then place your implements where you want them. Either they fit or you'll have to get a second pair of eyes to help sort.

Haha 😂 Thanks! Good luck with the rest of your project!
Love this very doable project. Thanks for sharing!
love the simplicity, cutting through all the bs :)
Awesome I’m going to try it out.

Great idea, I'm doing it today Thanks
Hope you enjoy. Good Luck!

That’s looks great
Very nice, cheap and easy idea.
Thanks, I appreciate it! 😁
I think I'll build this! Thanks for the idea!
Simple and cool 😎
Such a clever idea. Thanks for sharing 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Good idea, thanks..
Thanks! 😊

You doubled up on the boards, I only used one. You used Conduit piping, I used 12 inch long Wood screws. I love your idea to though.
Great Idea! Im now a new Subscriber! Thanks for the Post!
Thanks for the sub! 😄
Good job!
Thanks!! :)
Nice idea with the pipes. If you're in a dollar store, those retractable prongs would be a better idea as well. Comes coated with rubber.
Thanks, I appreciate it! 😁
Nice!! Great use of space!!

Nice...Easy & Functional. 🛠

Great idea! Can you give any specifics on the type of conduit you used? I’ve never purchased it before but there appears to be a few different types.
1/2 EMT (electrical conduit) it comes in sticks of 10 feet.
simple, cheap and effective
Thanks!
I like it @simonsaysdiy! What size conduit did you use 1/2" or 3/4"?
Thanks! 1/2
I think there was a missed opportunity to not utilize the space in between the studs. I saw another video where she put the shelves/racks in between so things looked much for flush.
Yeah, I ended up putting my digging bars and longer tools behind the lack in between the studs. But much more can fit in the studs. Thanks!

What size metal conduit did you use?
I used half inch.
Thanks for the info. Going to get supplies tomorrow :)
How far are the holes apart from each other
Nice. Why deck screws though?
Thanks! I just had them left over from my last project. You could use any type of nails or screws. :)
@@SimonSaysDIY makes sense. I was thinking you could also use 4x4s if you had that around vs. two 2x4s or just if that was cheaper maybe?
I used 2x2 s ripped a 2x4 to save cost and used heavy pvc so it won’t rust and was cheaper
Are the pipes just loose in the hole or fastened some how?
They seem to go in tightly but I have had a few that ended up feeling loose and I just screwed a metal screw through the 2x4 and into the pipe and that seemed to fix it.
@@SimonSaysDIY yeah I was thinking of that solution as well. Thanks for replying 😊
Is that metal or plastic conduit pipe? What are you cutting it with? Great idea, overall.
Conduit
He's cutting it with a reciprocating saw but you could use a hacksaw, grinder, metal saw etc
What’s the answer metal or plastic
you should have removed the jagged edge of the conduit from your cuts or put rubber over the ends. this looks potentially dangerous...
Yeah, I was thinking of putting some kind of rubber cap over it but didn’t know where to find such a cap. I haven’t ran into them yet but have come close a few times.

Nice idea fitting all your tool hanger at head height, a nice accident just waiting to happen.
If you have a small shed this would take up too much wall space.
True, what would you recommend?
Buy a Bigger Shed 😂
To save space just replace the conduit with hooks and don't double hang your implements on the same hook.
