Wheel barrow storage?

Wheel barrow storage? I was tired of chasing these around, They alway's seemed to be in my way. so Now they Hang up out of the way and I can walk under the Red one with out hitting my Head, The black one hangs to low but I can avoid it most the time in the garage. Only hit it twice so far. and that is just the lip of it

and I can have them down and ready for use in 30 seconds but now I don't have to move them out of my way all the time.

Sublime out.

Man, that's not a real garage. Where's the oil/blood on the walls? Or the "flame-kissed" areas? And posters, c'mon...

Nah, just jaggin ya. I wish my garage looked like that. I don't think I've seen the walls since we moved into this house. Nice job on the wheelbarrows, just seems like it'd be a pain to get them up there after using them all day. Still, good idea.

Getcha some of the foam water pipe insulation and wrap it around that wheelbarrow lip to help you out. Just pull it off when you need to use it. It you don't pull the adhesive it should last of a while.

the fronts are just Angle Iron from local hardware store with holes already drilled into them. They are lag screwed into the ceiling 3x and then the light chain bolt to the angle down and then a peice a flat stock bolt between the 2 hooks bolt to the chains this way the hooks are forced to hang the same way together and makes catch the wheelbarrow support super easy. the Back brackets are more of the same angle iron with lag Screws again into the ceiling and these also straddle a rafter that I ran a longer lag screw into. for these I got a 3" carraige bolt and just bolt the end of the bolt to the angle and the Head of the Carraige bolt acts as a stop for the runner's of the wheel barrow that you have to lift it up and slide over the head in order to bring the wheel barro down this way if I bump them the just can't slide off the bolts and come crashing down.

Hope this helps you out I don't have any close up pictures of the brackets.

And for those of you who think it upside down?



Me to when I first downloaded the picture from the camera.

I had to look at it twice LOL,

sublime out.
