INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
If you are customizing –
Measure your space.
Cut a 2×4 to fit the desired length of the garden tool rack.
Lay on a flat surface and begin placing your tools over the cut 2×4, organizing tools without D ring handles upside down at the top, and tools with a D ring handle hanging below.
Layout the position of the 10″ blocks and mark.
STEP 2
Attach the upper hanger blocks to the top edge of the 2×4 with screws, two per joint. Leave a 2″ gap in between for sliding tools in.
STEP 3
Add the bottom row of hanger blocks.
STEP 4
Locate two studs in the wall and hang to the studs, high enough so the longest tool does not hit the ground (I hung ours at 72″). You need two screws per stud, a minimum of four screws.
