NEW! Now you see them. Now you don’t. New Hinged Steel Wall Racks, exclusively designed by Duluth’s Forager Stephen Rose, offers customization to a garage, workshop or storage shed based on circumstance or season. Available in two sizes, both racks fold flat when not in use to free up space. These outstanding racks corral the usual workspace offenders (brooms, rakes, saws or blowers) but it’s the potential to tame the seasonal tigers such as winter shovels or summer outdoor gear that will really win Dad over. When doubled, they’re sturdy enough to serve as a light lumber rack holding upwards of 200 lbs. of wood.
