Storage is the ultimate goal when it comes to a garage. Depending on the size of your garage, you may be able to fit three cars in it, along with outdoor essentials like watering cans, hoses, lawn mowers, snow blowers, and a bunch of other equipment. Of course, you may only have room for a few items on the walls if you have a smaller garage, which is why you need to make that space count. If you have a ladder that you use for either cleaning your gutters or any of the other uses a ladder can provide around a house, hanging it on a ladder hook in your garage can be a great way to get it out of your way. This will save you from having to lean it on the ground and against a wall somewhere in your house and then possibly knocking it over in the process. We’ve highlighted five of the best ladder hooks we could find to give you an example of how your garage could look with the renewed storage option. Let’s take a look.
Leave the space for the ladder
When you’re hanging your ladder on the Rubbermaid FastTrack Ladder Hook, it’s easy to control. But when you aren’t using it to hang something from, it will fold up and stay out of the way. This is made from metal that’s imported to keep your ladder hanging upright. It is designed to hold up to 50 pounds and can be placed anywhere on the walls in your garage or basement. The cast aluminum gripper snaps tightly into the FastTrack rail system to mount easily. The hook is protected by a soft coating that won’t scratch the ladder. You’ll get years of reliable storage out of this. It also allows you to hang your ladder vertically or horizontally.
Key Features:
- Can hang ladder vertically or horizontally
- Holds up to 50 pounds
- Folds up when not in use
