Default How do you store your rulers?

I keep reading about how to store fabric but don't recall reading anything on how to store rulers. Right now, I hang mine on a hook on the wall but seems like the one I need is at the back of the hook. There's got to be a better way! HELP!

I hang mine on my leg board. You can buy a men's belt circle hanger that lets you take out the ruler you want.

All mine hang on my peg boards. ones I use a lot hang by themselves. My specialty rulers hang only 3 per peg. I really don't have a lot of rulers. I do have a lot of peg board. LOL

I use to have them hang on pegboard but now I have two blocks with slots designed for storing my rulers. I like them to be handy for using.

I like the slotted boards that are meant for rulers. I have 2 to hold all my rulers

I have wooden walls and just pounded in a couple of nails. Its works perfectly for the 20+ years we've been in this house. So much so I'd still pound nails for hanging in a room with standard sheathing

I store mine on the wall with the 3m hooks that doesn't mess up the wall and then you can move them when you get a new ruler!

I just stand mine up on end between a piece of furniture and some storage bins. I can get to them easily and they are not in the way or taking up otherwise valuable space in my very small room. The longer ones that I use most are easily accessible and if I need a smaller/specialty ruler it only takes a couple of minutes to sort through them.

Default Ruler Holder

I found a pic here on this board that someone had posted. Showed it to my son in law and he made me one. He did a great job. The top has slots in it for the rulers to fit in. Now he just has to hang it on the wall for me.
