Instructions

Learn how to make a hanging tool rack for your garden:

Hanging tool rack - step 1 Step one
Depending on what tools you want to hang, you can customise your pallet to suit. For my tool rack, I removed a top deck board to create a cavity for a long narrow cupboard on the left side of the middle stringer and a shelf on the right side of the middle stringer.

Hanging tool rack - step 2 Step two
I trimmed down the deck board to make shelves.

Hanging tool rack - step 3 Step three
I used a deck board from another pallet to make a cupboard door.

Step four
Paint, then attach hooks and hangers to hold your garden tools.
