Typically used indoors for coats, a Shaker peg rail can also serve a summertime purpose: as an outdoor home for wet and sandy items. Paint the rail to match your house's exterior, and then mount it to wall studs with 2 1/2-inch screws. Hang sandy items on it to avoid tracking dirt indoors; things such as chairs and flippers can even be hosed off right on the rail and then left to dry in the sun.
