Hang the wide things, brooms, rakes, etc., with the wide part either near the ceiling or floor. Put the handles together in a long double hook with wide parts hanging from the hook (up high) or a long single hook, if your equipment has holes in the handles. Precious pegboard space is wasted with rakes and broom bristles. Many things can be hung between the handles of these tools. The bin looks like one of those messy things you would be telling people how to do better in another segment. Not trying to be mean here, it's just not much of a system. I have five times as many things hanging in a very organized manner on 1/2 a sheet of pegboard. PVC pipe is a costly way to store one broom! Frankly, this looks like a before picture to me. Sorry...

I usually don't watch these videos, but my garage and the upstairs in my home need cleaning, I found this video interesting, my husband would like to just get a dumpster and toss everything, but that's not in me, I would prefer something like this be put up and then both area's can get straightened out. nice video

I wonder how many takes there were before he got it right. Those screws went in pretty easy. I bet everything was either pre drilled or was put together by a REAL craftsman and then taken apart. And whats with the pipe for baseballs. Its only got one screw in it and that will break really fast, plus the fact that the kids will open the pipe and the balls will be all over the place......keeping them in a bucket is WAYYYYYY better,,,,,along with your mitt. This was stupid.
I have a wooden pallet nailed standing up to one wall, and it holds all the shovels and rakes you can throw at it.

December 08 2012 at 8:29 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replythen you'ed love my 10x12 shed it's got electric ,light ,heat in winter & a/c in summer , radio & T.V and befor that my boys turned it into ther sleeping & play area with lofted bunks in a hip-roof design...now...later on & there grown it's still my shop & storage area amid a dog who saws z's not wood.
I tend to call ORGINIZED CUSTER-F@*^!K with standing room that looks like LOW'ES exploded in it . NEXT: A 16x20 an need every inch of it , for a car rebuild & shop & office / mans cave.
i have easier idea. buy a large trash container, rectangular. affix to a couple studs if you wish. place all mops, rakes, shovels, anything on a pole inside the bin. presto.
December 08 2012 at 6:43 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWe had a building code in San Diego that where an electric wire or pipe ran thru a stud you had to put a metal plate over the spot so no nails or screws could hit them. I have pegboard in most of my garage along with roll around shelves and tool boxes. I do tend to leave tools on my work bench that my wife usually reminds me about.

I built something similar to this a decade ago but used 3/4 plywood on the wall instead of the firing strips and pegboard. I also painted the whole schmear with waterproof porch paint. I mean hey.... I use water to hose down my garage floor!
Maybe I missed it but unless you pre drill the PVC pipe to screw it to the wall, the PVC will crack that close to the ends when you try to drive a drywall screw through it.
I also built a unit next to it with "whack-a-mole" holes for holding my rakes, shovels, brooms etc.
