REA storage system - Garden side hooks for Gardena tools and others

I like to have my garden tools and garden materials right where I use them. So I bought a REA Plastic Storage rack and use it outdoors. It is UV resistant, does not rust and sturdy enough to put in heavy earth bags. I have the REA 1200 x 600 x 1750 + Storm rail, but they come in all various sizes.

I’d like optimal use of the rack and wanted to place my garden tools on the side. 

Therefore I designed simple yet strong hooks that fit perfectly over the beams. The hooks are a tight fit and have plenty of depth, but I’d like to leave no change that they get loose. So I have added the option to have two Ty-raps per hook to fold around the inner beam and fix them.

The model consists of two parts, the part that goes over the beam, and the hook itself. The parts come together with 4 screws. This way quite some weight can be put on the hooks.

Required hardware

• REA Storage Systems. I have the REA 1200 x 600 x 1750 + Storm rail. See https://www.rea.nl/en/
• Four M3 x 16 mm countersink rust resistant screws per hook. I use DIN 7791 A2 RVS screws from https://www.bevestigingsmateriaal.nl/artikel/1623/din-7991-iso-10642-inbusbout-vk-bzk-m3x16-rvs-a2-kvp-100-st.html 
• Optional: Ty-raps (UV resistant, the quality ones)  

Printing instructions

• Filament: PETG or ASA (UV resistant) 
  We got the best results with PETG because of the higher temperature resistance outdoors in the sun. Although PETG is not UV resistant, the hooks seem to hold up perfectly. 
  Quality setting: 0.15mm
• Infill: 20%
• Supports: No supports needed.
