What is everyone doing about this? The rear wall of my garage is framed/drywall, but does not have open space for yard tools. I'd prefer to hang them on the side, which is concrete block.

Suggestions? Do any of the hanging systems I see at Home Depot work? If so, whats the recommended method of attaching to a concrete block wall?

A quick search of Amazon returns quite a few different organizers in the $20-$40 price range...

Holeyrail: basically a perforated steel 2x6 with pegboard holes

Similar version from "Wall Control"

Basic rail with hooks

Another basic rail with hooks

Anyone have experience with any of these styles? Would I be better off just mounting a 2x6 on the wall and using wood hooks into it wherever I need them?

2x4, some masonry nails/screws to mount and a few big nails for hooks for the very grassroots version

I put them in a shed or the basement. Yard tools got no bidness falling on my cars. That space is reserved for heavy car-related tools to fall on them.

Slight variation on this, my old garage had 2x4's nailed horizontally about 4' off the floor, with some 1x4 nailed to the top sticking "out" away from the wall. A similar arrangement near the floor. Drill holes every foot or so along this and you could drop yard tools in "tool side up" and they'd stay where they were. Easy to build out of scrap wood and free/cheap and effective.

The store solutions do look fancy though.
