Ways to store objects that are frequently used and/or need to be easily accessible are known, but tend to require a good deal of installation hardware, work, and lack flexibility. For example, it is frequently desirous to store tools in a way in which they can be seen and easily accessed for use.
Typically, a rack or pegboard is used, into which a set of hooks or is screwed. However, this storage solution requires a good deal of hardware and can be difficult to install. Further, once hooks or other tool fastening devices are screwed in or otherwise set, changing their configuration on the pegboard or rack to accommodate different tools or arrangement of tools can be difficult and take a good deal of effort. If the hooks or other holders are secured firmly, removing them to change their location may damage them or board, wall or rack they are secured to.
Visible storage for toys is even more problematic. Currently, toys, such as, for example, toy guns that fire foam projectiles are typically stored in a box or other container. This can make them difficult to see or find. A child may forget what toys they have or at the least, have difficulty locating them. This can mean toys to not get used as they should, or even are purchased multiple times. Toys can also become damaged as children search containers for them, pull them out as they collide with other toys within the container, or even turn over the container, scattering toys, to locate a particular toy. If toys, tools or other objects that are accessed routinely, quickly or both are left out for easier access (or simply because there is no suitable place for them), the space around them can quickly become cluttered and annoying or difficult to navigate.
What is needed is a system and method that addresses these issues, providing storage of items in a new and novel way that makes the items visible and easily accessible, yet is flexible enough to allow a user to easily change the configuration of storage.
