backpack blower storage

[chipper]

How do you guys store your blowers? I'm looking to hang it on the wall and just wondering if there are systems or hooks that are made just for this. What do you guys do? Pics would help thanks gj!!!

I just use the 2 prong rake/shovel hangers. The 2 prongs keep it level.

Mine is hanging on the wall but I'm not content with it. The tube is the problem obviously. I think I'm going to add some hooks towards the middle of the tube to support it along the wall. I don't really like it taking up that much wall space but it's better than it hanging out into the garage I guess.

I hang mine from the middle truss in my small (8' x 8') shed, from an L-shaped hook that I hook through the handle on the top of the backpack frame.

This allows me to then take the suction hose and prop it against the front wall of my shed, above the doors, onto a large nail that is driven into the wall above the doors. The nail holds the end of the suction hose up above head-height, above the door. Easy to retrieve and replace.

mine sits on top of my chainsaw box with the tube removed. wd-40 silicon spray makes the tubes easy to take off, but before i figured that out i put the tube in the trash can that stores rakes and shovels next to the shelf.

My Echo sits in its box against the back wall 9.5 months of the year.

The tube is why i posted the question like you i don't think i would be content with the hose hanging. I'm thinking about somehow using a hose clamp attatched to the wall to hold the hose...i guess i just need to toy around in the garage

Did you put a hole through the end of the hose to rest it on the nail?

Mine hangs on a closet bracket, with a hook on the front. (You know, the kind for a shelf, and closet rod.....)

It leave the unit just far enough from the wall for clearance.

Most of my lawn equipment like that is hanging by large rubber coated hooks screwed into the 2x4 roof bracing (small barn style storage shed).

Quick example

Google green touch blower rack, I have it mounted inside an enclosed trailer. The blower tube mounts away from the rack so you will need some wall space.

No, the end of the blower tube is resting perpendicular to the front wall of the shed, so the "hole" is the opening where the air shoots out of the blower tube. It just rests on the nail with the existing blower hole.

I have a Velcro ******** my blower handle to hold the hose up in the air.
