As others have mentioned, I covered all the walls in my shop(20'x40')
with pegboard. I still haven't made maximum use of it but keep moving
things around until I get things more efficient.
I also put up 2 shelves on the 2 walls with windows, one right at the
top of the windows, and one about 18" higher. I have 10' ceilings, so
there is plenty of room up there.
There is about 4' above my overhead door where I was able to hang
ladders and other oversize things that I don't use very often. I put up
some hooks to hang thins on, as well as pulleys and ropes to get the
stuff up and down without needing a ladder.
I have 1 cart with minimum tools on it that I load up when I need to do
a job. It doesn't take up much room, and it helps me keep it cleaned off
so all I need to do is load it up, and not unload the junk that would be
piled on it that might stay there if I had more carts to use!
Peace,
Pat
