9 ITEMS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW COULD BE STORED ON YOUR GARAGE WALL WITH HOOKS

Over time, many garages can become storage lockers for items that are tough to store because they’re too heavy or big for bins or drawers. The result is a garage that’s cluttered and not being used for its true capabilities. 

Get chaos under control with wall hooks—a great storage solution for tools, equipment and gear to keep them safely stored and out of the way. You might not even realize all the various items you can hang on wall hooks in your garage. 

Let’s review nine items that people often never consider hanging with wall hooks. The hooks and accessories covered in this article pair with any Gladiator® Wall System and are easily customizable, so you can add more or move them around as your needs change.  

By getting these items off the floor and onto a wall, you can better maintain an organized and clean garage with items safely stored.
