This summer when my car was repainted I added fiberglass tonneau covers to it. Now that winter is coming the car has gone from sitting in the garage top down to sitting in the garage top up and I needed a place to store there where I wouldn't worry about them getting scratched while at the same time not taking up a lot of space.

Had a nice bare wall next to the car so I couple trips to home depot and I came up with this.

One pair of hooks with rubber tip covers

Pair of table leg covers which fit the ball connector on the top covers perfectly

Drilled one hole in each cover back which slid easily over the hooks, slide the covers onto the hook, push the ball connector into place

Finished project

Now I won't have to worry about the covers falling and it makes for a great way to wax them too

60 lb wall anchors in each hook, pretty rare that I do anything that isn't overkill

Its always better to be safe than sorry is my motto!! I hung up some swords on our brick wall and used the 100 lbs ones. Swords are like 20 lbs tops. lol

Each of these tops are probably 5 pounds, I just went strong in case they get caught with wind blowing if the garage door is open or something
