Apr
If you’re a fan of muddy walks, country living, or simply like things to be tidy with a touch of rustic charm, a wall mounted wooden welly rack could be the perfect addition to your home. More than just a practical storage solution, it brings personality, warmth, and that lovely rural feel to any hallway, porch, or boot room. Together with a Dog lead rack to store all your dog leads and accessories. Your organisation will be transformed.
But not all wooden welly racks are made equal — here are 5 must-know tips for choosing the right one for your space, with a special nod to personalisation and countryside style.
1. Choose the Right Material for Your Space
Wall mounted welly racks come in a range of materials like wood, metal, and plastic. Each has its pros & Cons:
- Wall mounted Wooden welly racks offers a rustic, classic look — perfect for countryside homes and traditional décor.
- Metal racks are durable, modern, and may be easy to clean — Although may have a cold industrial feel to a country home.
- Plastic options are lightweight and budget-friendly, but might not last as long, and are not very eco friendly.
Make sure the material suits your style of home.
2. Consider the Number of Boots You Need to Store – Consider the Whole Family (and the Dog)
Before anything else, take stock of how many pairs of wellies you need the rack to hold. Is it just for you and your partner, or do you have a busy family with lots of muddy boots? Some racks are designed for 2–4 pairs, while others cater to larger households. At Chester & Cooke we make them to hold up to 5 pairs. If you have small children a shelf on your wall mounted wooden welly rack to store your toddlers wellies too would be really helpful.
And don’t forget the dog – A Chester & Cooke Welly holder has a utility hook, perfect for hanging those dog leads. You can also shop Chester & Cooke dog product range HERE including Dog Lead Racks.
Buying a rack that fits your needs will help avoid clutter and keep things organised.
Pro tip: Go for a hanger with a few extra spots if you often have guests for country walks or love collecting footwear!
3. Make Your Wall Mounted Wooden Welly Rack Your Own – With Personalisation
One of the best things about a wall mounted wooden welly rack is the opportunity to make it truly your own.

4. Wall Space, Compatibility and Easy Installation
Before you buy, measure up the wall where you plan to install your rack so it will fit. Make sure your chosen wall will allow your boot hanger to be securely mounted on your wall type — whether it’s brick, plasterboard, or wood.
Most quality racks come with wall fixings included, check that your chosen product does.
Installation tip: Mount it at a height that allows boots to hang freely and drip dry, especially if you’re placing it near a radiator or heat source.
Check if they’re easy to take down, too in case you need to move it.
