Hang medium-size equipment such as weed trimmers, leaf blowers and small handheld equipment on the walls on storage hooks about a foot or two apart from each other. Spend time planning where to hang the tools before installing the storage hooks.

Place your garden tools in one or more corners. Nail one end piece of rope about waist high to the side of the tools. Pass the rope in front of the garden tools and wrap it around a nail on the other side of the corner. The rope prevents the garden tools from falling over.
