Hi all,
am pondering a question. My garden tools live in the utility room and at present are just leaning against a wall (garden fork, shovel, grass trimmer etc). This makes sweeping the floor a pain and I've ordered a device to hang them from. But I'm wondering if hanging them against the wall will damage the paintwork (other people in the house won't be careful when replacing them on the hangers!) and what can I do to protect the wall.
So
1. Just paint it with gloss/washable paint and re-do it from time to time.
2. Glue some floor tiles/vinyl to the wall and never replace it (it'd be as big a job as removing tiles, I think)
3. Hang floor tiles/vinyl from a batten and nail it against the wall, giving the floor tiles/vinyl a frame. But the room can get very steamy and would I end up with horrible fungus/mildew growing there?
Any ideas or suggestions? The wall is an outside wall and I think it's just plain concrete. It's an extension built maybe 10 years ago. Thanks!
