Magnets can come in handy in many tough situations. One benefit of hook magnets is they can hold and secure heavy objects, and they can be easily removed without damaging the surface. When it comes to outdoor usage, hook magnets can be used in a number of different scenarios. Below we have gathered a few creative DIY uses for magnets!

Ways To Use Hook Magnets Outdoors

  • If you own a stainless steel grill, magnets may adhere to it depending on its iron or ferrous material content. You can attach a hook magnet, such as 12-pound hook magnets, to an accessible portion of the grill to hang BBQ utensils like a spatula to add space and convenience.
  • Hang an ice or drink bucket up with a few strong hook magnets, such as 25-pound hook magnets, to save on table or lawn space. This might also be helpful for guests that now won’t have to bend down to get a beverage.
  • Spice up an outdoor cookout with a little outdoor lighting. If you have a metal-based patio overhang or other ferrous material in your backyard simply stringing your outdoor lights with some hook magnets can make for an easy lighting solution.
  • Lighting can set the mood of your backyard, but other decorations can as well. If you are having a birthday party, putting a Piñata in your backyard without a tree may be tricky. However, if you have metal in a spacious garage or basement a 12-pound hook magnet can be used to put one up!
  • You can also create a garden ambiance around your home by using 25-pound hook magnets to hang up planters.
Remember that you must have a ferrous material to stick the hook magnets.
