How to store walking sticks

[Thisisnowmyusername]

Inspired by another thread about how you store wrapping paper.

I need to use a walking stick due to a disability. I have three different ones.

I would like a nice heavy metal walking stick holder to keep in the porch, but am reluctant to spend around £££ for this purpose. I used to have a large vase that I kept them in instead, but unfortunately that smashed, so I was wondering if anyone had any inspired ideas of other household items similar to a large vase (but not breakable)that can serve the same purpose.

Thank you.

Are umbrella stands any cheaper than ones for walking sticks?

Not that I have found, unfortunately, but if anyone has a link to a reasonably priced one, that would be great.

I have a nice tall basket,I keep walking sticks and umbrellas in.

That sound idea, Where did you buy it?

A welly boot. Weigh the toe down with a lead weight or something like marbles so that it doesn’t tip over.

Or get a couple of nice wide brackets and hang them on the wall horizontally behind the door

It was given to me by a friend who went to Suffolk on holiday, it's really sturdy and was made by a local crafter. It's so useful, I've had it over 20 years.

That is a great idea! Thank you. We have some wellies in the garage. This is just the sort of random object that I was trying to think of, but nothing sprang to mind.

Thanks. I just searched for tall basket on Amazon and found this one that is designed to store toilet rolls in, so something like that might suffice if I weighted the bottom down with marbles or something.

Broom clips on the wall. Cheap as chips on amazon.

Check out sales at local antique auction houses, most have websites where they post their catalogues for upcoming sales. Stick stands often come up for sale & are cheaper than buying new.

Thanks everyone. Some good ideas.

I bought a cheap coal scuttle to store walking sticks, beach umbrellas etc.

Or this one's cheaper (and nicer imo) reduced to clear

There are loads and loads of vintage ones on eBay (assuming you're in the UK) OP. Around the £20-£30 mark. Some are gorgeous and you can pick one that fits in with the style of your home.

I just hang mine on a coat hook

How about a tall planter. B&M have got some reasonable looking ones.

I don’t use sticks in mine but I had a tall vase with artificial flowers that my cats broke, I replaced it with a wooden vase similar to this one. I’m sure I bought it from the range, so wasn’t super expensive.

I keep mine in an old chimney pot, not really a cheap option, unless you already had one.

My sticks and crutches are all stored using broom clips, like a previous poster suggested. Not fancy, but it stops me falling over them.

In the broom closet, if you have one.

Wow - I never expected so many replies. Thank you all very much I particularly like the wooden vase pictured, so over t he next couple of weeks, I am going to browse round the shops looking at the section for vases rather than specifically look for walking stick or umbrella holders. Failing that, I think I will look for a tall basket, like the one I linked on Amazon.

That's a good idea.
