I have tons of rope, power cords and hoses, and they are a mess in my garage and barn. I need suggestions for a storage system. In the past, I have had pole barns and exposed rafters, so I simply hung everything from them. I now have sheet rock ceilings and block wall, so my prior storage methods aren't as convenient. Anyone have an adaptable, useful system for this mess? "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

If you have hundreds of feet, you can coil them up in these.  | |||

Agreed. I do have hundreds of feet. But I'm trying to get this stuff off the floor. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

I put all my extra extension cords in a plastic storage bin and put it under my workbench. The two cords I use are hanging on a bike hook.

I used to have a yacht mechanical shop, and we had many, many coils of power cords, hoses, and rope. What worked best was hooks mounted on a wall, and short pieces of 1/8" line would wrap around a coil of cable/hose. The line would be about 24" long tied into a loop. This worked very well. -c1steve | |||

I took an stair handrail i removed from my house and attached it to the wall in my garage. The tools slide behind it nicely and my cords and rope go on the open end. What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

I have the Rubbermaid Fasttrack system along both sides of my garage wall. It gets pretty much everything off the floor and onto the wall, including garden hoses, air hoses, and extension cords. Here's a representative picture...  Available at Home Depot or Amazon. http://a.co/5jaljC4 "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

I'm using Lowe's Kobalt system. Less money and just as strong and versatile. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yeah...I knew there was another similar system from another manufacturer, but I couldn't think of it. Thanks tator!!! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

I have several of these, they work very well for rope, small diameter hoses, wire cables, etc. Can be hung on the wall, etc. https://www.globalindustrial.c...REAQYASABEgJRH_D_BwE Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

I have a work bench and storage cabinet system in the garage. Like this There is a large drawer under the work bench full of neatly coiled extension cords and rope. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I've found something like this to be good at holding the cords. We also use these for animal tie outs (20' long straps for llamas). I don't use this exact brand, but you can find something similar at Home Depot/Lowes. http://www.cableclamp.com/  | |||

I like these as well, especially for my more commonly used cords. Quick to wind and unwind, and can be hung on a wall or stuck in a bin. I may have to look into the cable clamps for keeping the rest of the cords organized. J Rak Chazak Amats | |||

Thanks guys. I have a couple of those cable clamps and they are great. I just need to check Lowes for more of them. They are fine for smaller cords. I also am already using the Rubbermaid wall system stuff. I have bikes, etc. hung from that. I think I will go with some form of mounted system that uses looped ropes to hold stuff from pins. I have used that in the past, and it has worked well. A lot of the stuff I have to hang is heavy. 100' heavy gauge copper cables are 60+ pounds. 175 feet of 3/4 dacron line plus double blocks is 80 or so pounds. The mounted bracket plus rope loop system will work well with those weights. I appreciate the help.

I use this system. I store the cords and hoses in the location they will be used in, as best I can predict - garage, equipment shed, barn. Works for me. * * * * * * * High capacity is not an acceptable substitute for good marksmanship. | |||
