1. Bedrock garage tool organizer (no assembly required)
If you're just starting to organize your gardening gear, a wall-mounted base system is the most effective place to begin.
The Bedrock Garage Tool Organizer, also called the BLAT Tool Storage Rack, is an all-purpose wall solution built to handle everything from rakes and shovels to hoses and hedge trimmers. The 4 tool hooks are welded onto a sturdy baseplate for a total load capacity of 250 lbs. The modular design lets you expand as your gear collection grows.
This rack is one of the most popular tool solutions among homeowners for a reason. It’s simple, strong, and smart.
2. Adjustable wall storage system for multipurpose use
When basic wall hooks won’t cut it, it’s time to upgrade.
The G-Tool Adjustable Wall Mount is designed to hold up to 300 lbs of heavy-duty tools and yard equipment. Its industrial-strength arms can be positioned to fit long-handle tools, power equipment, and gear bags, etc.
It’s the perfect choice for homeowners with serious landscaping gear or those who prefer a high-capacity system that works year-round, indoors or out.
3. BLAT tool modular storage rack
When managing multiple garden zones, like a side yard, backyard shed, or garage wall, you’ll want a storage system that adapts with you.
The BLAT Tool Modular Storage Rack offers ultimate flexibility. Mount one set near your potting bench and another near the garage entrance. You can even stack them vertically to create a full wall grid for your tools.
This system is great for seasonal tool rotation or splitting up shared spaces.
4. Heavy-duty garage storage hook for ladders
The Ivor Ladder Storage Wall Hook is a clean, simple hook that mounts to any stud and supports up to 50 lbs. It's ideal for hanging smaller garden tools like hoses, nozzles, shears, and coiled wire, without wasting shelving space.
It’s a great choice for minimalist gardeners or those with tight shed layouts.
5. All-around garage wall mount shelves
Not everything hangs. Fertilizer bags, plant food, gloves, and storage bins need shelf space.
The 2' x 4' Bristol Shelves provide sturdy, wide-span shelving that mounts above a workbench or next to your gear wall. Each shelf holds over 200 lbs, so it can support plastic bins, watering cans, and even small tools in trays.
Stack two or three shelves high to build your own garden station.
6. Overhead ceiling storage rack
Got tools you only use in spring or fall? Store them overhead.
The Hi-Port 2 Ceiling Rack is adjustable, strong, and ideal for ladders that don’t need daily access.
This rack keeps the floor clear while using valuable ceiling space, especially in garages with tall ceilings or rafters.
7. Shelf wall storage system for optimal organization
Need vertical and horizontal storage in one system?
The G-Tool + Shelf System gives you both. Store heavy shovels below, and keep fertilizers, gloves, or planters on the built-in top shelf.
This hybrid approach keeps tool zones together so everything you need for a specific task is in one place.
8. All-in-one mobile tool storage
If you can’t, or don’t want to, drill into a wall, freestanding is your best option.
The Tool Storage Organizer holds up to 250 lbs and is ideal for corners, covered patios, or open garage bays. You can move it around or tuck it away when not in use.
Perfect for renters or anyone with brick, block, or uneven walls.
9. Utility organizer for small spaces
Gardeners accumulate a lot of small gear, and it all needs a home.
The Afton Utility Organizer is a low-profile shelf that holds hand tools, gloves, extra planters, or even cleaning supplies. It mounts easily above workbenches or in entryways.
At just 40 lbs capacity, it’s not for large tools, but it’s great for decluttering drawers or garden totes.
10. Maximize capacity with wall storage system
When your tools are big and your ambitions are bigger, go pro.
The G-Tool Pro Wall System is StoreYourBoard’s highest-capacity wall system, supporting up to 500 lbs of gear.
It’s perfect for storing carts, weed whackers, wheelbarrows, and heavier seasonal equipment all in one place. You’ll get the confidence of commercial-grade strength.
11. Freestanding yard tool rack
Sometimes, you need storage that moves with you.
The Freestanding G-Tool provides heavy-duty storage without mounting a single screw. It’s ideal for multipurpose workspaces or shared garden areas that need flexibility.
Use it by the garage door in summer, then slide it to the shed in winter.
12. Rolling garden tool organizer
Tired of lugging tools back and forth? Let the rack come to you.
The Shovel Shuttle is a rolling rack that fits large and small tools alike. Built-in wheels glide over garage floors or driveways so you can roll your whole setup to the yard.
It’s a favorite for tool rotation and organizing gear by project type.
13. Pivot panel tool organizer, wall mounted
The Pivot Panel Organizer rotates outward, giving you layered access to tools without taking up width. Mount one in a narrow shed or tight garage corner and turn it into a power zone.
It’s sleek, efficient, and modern. Perfect for gardeners who want a clean, refined look.
14. Horizontal shed tool organizer
If you’ve got long-handled tools piling up in corners, it’s time to store them horizontally.
The Bedford Shed Organizer has four levels of wall-mounted arms designed for rakes, hoes, snow shovels, and trimmers.
By storing tools sideways and off the floor, it prevents tipping hazards and saves vertical space.
