A rake is an indispensable thing in a country house.

With the help of this tool, gardeners remove fallen leaves and debris, and also cultivate the soil cover.

However, over time, rakes become unusable: they rust, and in most cases they are simply thrown away.

But is it worth getting rid of the old tool? Experienced summer residents answer with confidence: "No!"

The thing is that a rake can be given a second life. True, this time the thing will have a different "role".

What can you turn an old rake into?

Gardening tools can easily be transformed into an incredibly convenient hanger.

You should only use the metal part of the rake; you can get rid of the wooden part.

Before hanging the "teeth" on the wall, they should be "groomed" with sandpaper. The material should be used to remove rust and various contaminants.

The processed metal device should be fixed to the wall of the summer house.

The result will be a hanger on which you can hang various small agricultural tools: garden shovels, hoes, and so on.
