Creating storage space with upcycled shower racks

While most of my gardening equipment is kept in my greenhouse, I also keep a few things outdoors for convenience....such as plant trays, small hand tools, water cans and even gardening twine. These are all kept organized in old shower racks which I have hanging from the side of my tool shed.

The advantage of using shower racks for vertical storage is that they are small, compact, and designed to handle water. The shower racks shown are ones that I picked up at our local thrift store salvage yard for 50¢ each. Not only is this a handy way to store often-used gardening supplies (or show off cool old gardening tools) they add interest to an otherwise ho-hum building.
