DIY garden tool storage with an old file cabinet
Transform an old file cabinet into clever, space-saving garden tool storage that keeps your outdoor essentials tidy and easily accessible!

Supplies:
Instructions:
- Choose a file cabinet that fits the space you wish to use it in.
- Remove the drawers, then wash it down well. Allow to fully dry.
- Paint the outside of the file cabinet. I used Fusion's Ash using a velour roller for exceptional and durable results.
- With file cabinet positioned on its back, measure and cut cedar strips to the width of the cabinet until you have enough to cover the entire front.
- Using strong wood glue sticks, attach cedar strips to the front of the cabinet starting at the top, while leaving small gaps in between the strips.
- Attach a row of hooks to a higher front wood stripa to hang smaller garden tools. Take care to use very short screws, or longer metal screws that penetrate into the cabinet.
- Protect the wall behind the cabinet by attaching some vertical reclaimed wood boards with screws.
- Load the file cabinet bin with long handled garden tools, and hang shorter hand garden tools on the hooks. And enjoy your newly organized garden storage space!
