[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3763849, member: 7900"] I've done a couple of things to save space in the past. (Living in an RV, I no longer even have a garage.) In our garages in the past, I've taken 2x6's or 2x8's and drilled holes at a slight angle every 3 or 4 inches along the board. Those holes are just big enough to insert 5/8" dowel rods that have been cut to about 6 or 8 inches long. Once they are fastened to the wall, the dowel rods have a slight upward angle. Being that the holes are along the board, one can move the dowel rods around to better fit whatever tool one wants to hang. I generally put up this system at two levels to allow for longer handled tools to hang from the top board and shorter ones from the lower board. With one small shed that we had, I attached pulleys to the ceiling in the middle of the shed between the two lofts. Then, I drilled four holes in the corners of a couple of lightweight wheelbarrow type carts. I then took some rope and attached S-hooks to hook into those holes so that I could then lift those wheelbarrows up in the middle of the shed and above my head so that they weren't taking up valuable floor space. The ropes suspending them were then tied off to eye-bolts screwed into a couple of wall studs. [/QUOTE]
