Mracekvb23 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 What do you guys recommend to store you ice augers? I'd prefer a wall mount bracket if possible? What options do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20lbSloughShark Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I put one of those big, rubber coated, screw in hooks into the ceiling of a shed. I hang it tank side up on the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusid Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 went to menards and picked up some brackets that were designed for bikes. They had some foam material on the arms and they swing in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachD Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I put it in my auger bag and stick it in the corner of the garage behind my snowmobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainylakefisher Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have a super simple wall mounted wooden rack that I built that allows you to securely store the auger vertically against a wall with no danger of tipping or falling. Highly recommended for safe storage. I don't have pictures at work but will post some later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2....12-14 inch scrap shelving/board, glue & screw together 2 pieces to make "L" shape, then cut a 3rd piece in half diagonally. now the 2 pieces cut in half can be glued & screwed one on each side of your "L" shelf on inside edges so auger weight is on these "angled" pieces. cut/drill a "U" shaped hole just wide enough for your auger stem to fit in, then drill & attach to studs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGurk Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have used this for years. Less than $10 and available at most large stores locally. Mine doesn't have the 3 indents but the coating is nice and it is very sturdy as long as you mount it to a stud or on a 1x6 cross brace with the right hardware.

rainylakefisher Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Here are some pictures of what I built. I thought I had a million dollar idea (OK $100 idea) and made a bunch of them from scrap material. Tried to sell them on the list of craig and ended up giving most of them to friends and family. The key is to size the hole in the top plate the size of the collar of your auger. You can slide it in because the sharft is smaller and then it sets firmly in place and can't slide out without lifting up an inch. I even routed the top edge for a nice smooth edge. Make the whole thing 16" long and you can it two studs when mounting on wall. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I found one of these gas station 2 liter crate thing (Not the MILK crate) and kept it thinking I'll put it into use some day. During the summer with an idea with a couple of 2x2's laying around and some screws I came up with this thing. Perfect fit and during the summer months I just put a large garbage bag over to cover.

ozzie Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I do the same as Mcgurk and use the bracket that he showed...works nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeleye Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Just mounted two metal brackets to the garage wall, then wrapped the arms in electrical tape to prevent the metal from scuffing the auger handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
