Boot Storage Rack
Wondering what to do with your boots after a day of working in the garden?
Don't just leave them on the deck and have them get wet inside.
Build this stand for your boots and you can leave them outside in gardening season.
My husband made this one for me a few years ago and it has been keeping my boots dry since then. I keep it right by the back door so that the boots are easily accessible.
A plus is, when the boots are muddy on the bottom, turning them to face the sun will help dry them out. And when it rains it will wash that mud off for you.
The boot rack is made from all recycled lumber.
base is 6" x 2" x 19"
dowels are 1.5" diameter x 16 " long
dowels are recessed about 1" into the base and screwed in from the bottom
An old handle, from a broken garden shovel, makes the bootrack easy to move. The other end of the broken shovel is on the retired wall of fame.
You could adjust the size of the dowels to suit your boots. Don't forget those short duckie boots need to dry off on the bottom too.
When you can't wear those boots anymore, make them into a boot planter.
Just to be on the safe side, don't take your boots off if you visit my garden, you just might find them planted up with hens & chicks.

VERY cute!!!!!!! Have a great weekend
I'm going to print out the instructions for my dad to build one or two for me. I bet they'd work for my Crocs! THANKS! And I love the boots for succulents.
Great idea, Linda.
Linda .. what a great idea girl !
I have the same boots as you do too : ) .. I definitely need a boot and garden clog rack .. and a device to tell me where I put my trowel down all the time ? .. plus the same device to keep telling me where my pruners are ... jeez ! I am constantly wondering around the garden looking for my stuff !! LOL
Joy, I read a tip once that said to paint the handles of your garden tools a bright colour ... yellow, white, pink ... then they will be easy to spot when you lay them down. I have multiples of each hand tool so that when I can't find one, I've got another one someplace else. Eventually they all turn up.
Linda~~ Cute,crafty and clever. Kudos to your hubby. The handle adds a practical and yet whimsical element. Love the retired boots too. Thems some happy hens and chicks!
That boot with those succulents look so wonderful! Very good idea :-) Have a great weekend!
