Back Pack Blower Storage??

[reedwesd]

I have a back pack blower and am having the hardest time tying to figure out how to store it in my small garage so it done not take up a bunch of room when I am not using it since it is such an odd shape. What do you guys do with you blowers when not in use? I searched for this and sorry if this has been asked before. If so can you point me in the right direction.

Garden shed, hang it off the wall, put it on the rafters in the garage?

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a shed yet and it my be a few years. Would like to put it on the wall but would like to see some mounting options since it has the long hose it takes up a lot of space. I thought about hanging from the ceilings but they are 11 foot. I am afraid I would kill my self standing on the top of a ladder trying to get the blower down .

I just hang mine off of a rafter with 1 J style bicycle hook.

If yours are too high. Rig up a pulley system with a rope and just tie it off to the wall.

A bump for great ideas but would like to hear more if you guys have them.

I have the same problem. Its easy to hang the back pack part, but the freaking hose is a PITA. Best i have come up with is to stuff it under the back of my 4 wheeler on the floor...hah

like others have said use some large j hooks for it on the rafters or the wall. you could also build a shelf to set it on that's off the floor. currently mine sits in it's box on top of a wall cabinet.

I just bought a couple clearance racks from Home Depot for $3.11 that were blower hangers.

I put mine on the seat of my riding mower, hose pointing forward and resting on the one front wheel of the mower. Takes up no additional (useful) space other than what the mower does.
