Gardening is one of those past times that just require so many tools. Whether its lawn care, planting, weeding or clearing, the amount of tool you need can be quite overwhelming. 

Garden tool organisers are a great way to organise a shed or garage. They can help sort your tools into different categories and types. The best thing about garden tool organisers is they can help you utilise vertical space.

Such vertical areas are commonly neglected space that is perfect for organising your gardening tools. These organisers can come in the form of storage boxes, racks and wall mountable shelving systems.

​We have broken down the types of garden tool organisers which are perfect for your garage or shed.

Garden tool stands

A typical issue when it comes to organising garden tools is how long most of them are. Long handles on gardening tools allow for minimal bending and over exertion. This does not however make storing them easy. It is common for them to be stacked horizontally up against a wall or corner. After a while they become tangled up and ever more leaning taking up too much space.
​
This also becomes a trip hazard around sharp and spike instruments. It is beneficial therefore to have a garden tool organiser that allows your tools to be stacked upright. Garden tool storage racks and tool stands allow you to do just that.

​With a system that allows you to put your tools in handle first there is no chance of snagging. These garden tool stands also have side pockets for smaller hand tools and accessories.

Garden tool caddies on wheels

It is one thing to get your garden tools stacked neatly and organised in a shed but what about while you work. Having only two pairs of hands it can be challenging moving your gardening tools everywhere they need to be.

​It is difficult to stay organised when on the move especially if you have a large garden. The best way to organise your tools on the move is with a garden tool organiser caddy.

Very much like a golf caddy these trolleys can stack long tools vertically as well as smaller hand tools. These come in a range of sizes and types making your gardening easier over distance.

​Another option for a mobile tool organiser is to purchase a garden pull along trolley.  These allow you to lay gardening tools down horizontally ready for long distance duties.

Garden tool shelving

Many things we need to maintain our gardens are not always long and cumbersome. Many tools and for want of a better word ‘bits and bobs’ are also very difficult to store efficiently.

​Making use of vertical room for these tools is best done with some high rise garden tool shelving. These vertical structures are great garden tool organisers. I have put one of the best examples on Amazon here.

Garden tool storage box

It is usually garden hand tools which become a little challenging to organise. This is especially true if you often undergo garden improvements and landscaping projects.

This can mean owning extra tools on top of all the gardening essentials. Add to these garden items such as weed burners and lawn care gadgets and more space will be needed. This is where garden storage boxes can come in handy.

​These are great for organising your tools as they allow you more space. These large boxes or chests can have an opening lid which becomes extra seating when it’s closed.

Garden tool storage shed

Sometimes the best way to ensure organised garden tools is to keep them separate. This means removing them from a shed or garage completely and moving them somewhere else.

​The best way to do this buy separate outdoor tool storage shed. This allows you to create more storage space in a place that is easy to access. Garden tool, storage sheds come in a range of sizes, materials and styles. These make great garden tool organisers especially if you have limited storage space.

Wall garden tool organisers

​One of the best ways to organise your garden tools is by fixing storage methods to walls. The vertical surfaces in garages and sheds have huge potential for making tools methodically accessible. There are a few different products and methods which fall into this category. We have listed some of the best below.  

Wall mountable tool holders

These usually come in brackets which screw to the walls of your shed or garage. They present a series of horizontal loops or holes so you can hang gardening tools through them.

​The type of tools you can store with these depends on the type you buy. Most examples of these display the type of tool suitability on the sales image. The best wall mountable garden tool organisers can handle a variety including long and short tools.

Garden tool hooks

Tool hooks are the simplest form of wall mountable garden tool holders. These come in many variations and can be arranged vertically or horizontally.

​In essence these are similar to tool holders but with the flexibility to position individual hooks. Garden tool hooks are also effective for making use of ceiling joists and doors.

Bin panel racks

Bin panel racks are a great way to vertically organise all those small bits and pieces the gardener needs. Things like screws, nails, hose attachments and wire. These wall mountable garden tool organisers come with a series of boxes or bins to put things in.

​A metal wall plate is fixed to the wall and the provided bins simply clip on to it. This allows you to effectively clad the wall with miniature storage boxes. This is a great way to organise things if you have many bits and bobs. 

Magnetic tool organisers

These genius tool organisers are a fantastic way to store tools in a place you can actually see them! How many times have you been fiddling around at the bottom of buckets trying to find one tool?

​This garden tool organiser is probably not effective for very heavy tools but for smaller ones it’s perfect. Simply attach the magnetic strip to the wall and just organise your tools how you wish.
