Farm-Garage Solutions Blower Rack for Stihl BG-50/BG-56/BG-66/BG-86 — 14‑Gauge Steel, Lock‑Ready Storage

Sturdy, space-saving steel rack that securely stores Stihl BG-50, BG-56, BG-66 and BG-86 handheld blowers on a wall or shelving unit.

Designed and manufactured in Canada by Farm-Garage Solutions, this blower rack is a purpose-built storage solution for four popular Stihl handheld blower models. Made from 14-gauge steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the rack keeps your blower off the floor, reduces clutter and prevents accidental tip-over or damage. It uses three pin positions to accommodate model differences and includes a retaining pin with a lock provision for added security when storing equipment outdoors or in shared spaces.

How does this rack fit different Stihl blower models?

Farm-Garage Solutions engineered the rack with three pin slots so the mounting points align with several Stihl handheld blower housings. That lets the same rack accept BG-50, BG-56, BG-66 and BG-86 units without bending or forcing the blower into place. The design cradles the blower so removal requires an intentional action, reducing accidental falls.

• Three pin slots match multiple blower body layouts.
• Cradle geometry holds the weight at two points for balance.
• Retention pin secures the blower in the mounted position.

Will the rack survive garage and outdoor environments?

The rack is fabricated from heavy-duty 14-gauge steel and finished with a powder coat to resist chips, corrosion and everyday wear. That combination gives it enough strength for repeated use and exposure in garages, sheds or enclosed trailers. For uncovered or high-humidity outdoor locations, the lockable retention pin helps prevent theft while the coating slows surface rust formation.

• 14-gauge steel for structural durability.
• Powder coat finish for abrasion and moisture resistance.
• Lock-ready retaining pin for secure outdoor use.

How easy is installation and what hardware do I need?

The rack uses a dual-point mounting pattern so you can attach it quickly to wall studs or a solid shelf using standard fasteners. Mounting to plywood or drywall requires appropriate anchors; mounting to a stud or solid timber gives the best load-bearing support. The unit ships without blower or lock hardware, so you’ll install your own fasteners and optional padlock.

• Dual mounting holes align with studs or solid backing.
• Use heavy-duty screws or lag bolts into studs for best support.
• Anchors required if mounting to drywall without stud backing.

What practical benefits does this rack provide in everyday use?

By lifting your blower off the floor and placing it on a dedicated bracket, the rack reduces tripping hazards and frees up floor area for other tools. The cradle keeps the blower upright and protected from knocks, while the lock provision adds a simple security layer when storing equipment in shared or semi-public spaces. Its compact footprint is ideal for cramped garages and trailers where efficient vertical storage matters.

• Clears floor space and organizes your work area.
• Prevents accidental tip-over and minimizes damage risk.
• Lockable option deters theft in shared storage areas.

Who is this for: This blower rack is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and contractors who use Stihl BG-50, BG-56, BG-66 or BG-86 handheld blowers and want a robust, space-efficient storage option. It’s a good fit for anyone who stores equipment in garages, sheds, enclosed trailers or utility rooms and needs a reliable mount that supports multiple blower models, offers theft-deterrent capability and installs quickly on common wall substrates.
