hi

as per my previous thread on different subject i am looking to clean out the shed and perhaps get a bit organised.

i saw some hooks on amazon. i want to ask how to fix this to wooden shed? do i need to drill a hole first?

Looks like there are screws included in the pack, so you'll just want to find a decent beam (there is usually a pretty thick one running around the top of the shed where the walls meet the roof and screw them in.

I would put a small pilot hole in first to make the job easier (especially as you may be driving in 20 screws in total) but you should be able to drive them in without a drill if you are reasonably strong.

When I installed hooks in my shed, I took some floorboards and ran those horizontally along the wall, screwing them to the uprights of the shed wall. I then screwed the hooks to the floorboard wherever I wanted them.

Use narrow screws, anything too wide and you'll split the wood. As above, a drill will easily drive in the screws without pilot holes, but a pilot hole will minimise the chance of splitting the wood. Don't drill too deep, and make sure your screws won't go all the way through to the outer wall of the shed.

Or pop a dwang or two in between the shed supports and screw in the hooks.
