I built this one out of scrap 2x4 and plywood, used lags to attach it to the wall and lots of screws. 
I saw another one similar to mine but the shelf support could be moved using holes drilled in the 2x4 on the wall, with long bolts to attach the
support.
I hope the picture is attached correctly.
Later,
Albert  | |

I am using two systems ... a homemade one, and a commercial.
The homemade one is some Ash with 1" pipes cut to 18" coming out of it. It's a vertical rack -- which makes getting to the boards a bit easier. The idea was taken from another NCWWer (Alan in Little Washington). Here is a pic: 
The commercial is the Triton. It's sturdy, strong, and no hassles. Easy to hang and provided no problems so far (hanging 3+ years).

Barry,
I've been trying to decide what kind of cut-off storage bin to build too. I found a couple of plans on the internet. This one is from Wood Magazine http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/sto...l&catref=wd103
ShopNotes had this one - http://www.shopnotes.com/issues/094/...-storage-bins/
I've seen a couple others, including one on wheels. Not sure what I'm going to build, but these might offer you some inspiration
Ray

Shop Notes, issue 93, has a wood storage rack that is made from one sheet of 3/4 ply. It is a couple of ledger strips, fastened to the wall. The top one is beveled (like a "French cleat"). The verticles simply hook over this cleat system. Truely a simple system. | |

thanks for the replies guys this is what I have come up with
i will be lag bolting to wall studs some 8ft 2x4s that have had 1\2" holes drilled in them along the length to allow for support arm spacing adjustment i think putting a vertical at 16" on center across the 13 ft run should hold a lot of weight  the support arms will be 3ft long 2x4s with 3\8 plywood gussets thru bolted and glued (4 bolts per support) may put a slight upward angle on the support arm think of using 1\2" steel hitch pins to hold the support arm to the verticals WIP pics will follow | |

Looks good, but might I suggest putting some braces on it? Might help keep the arms from sagging. | |

The rack looks good, but just remember how much wood weighs (oak is app. 375 lbs. / bd/ft) before you make your shelves too deep . When I lived in NJ I had a wall on a small shop, I had a wall start leaning because of excessive weight.
Good luck and great job !
Jimmy

Very true on the weight. Doug Robinson had his rack come crashing down on his car awhile back and it was a store bought system not a DIY job. | |

Why don't we use vertical storage more often? Who is the dark haired me on DIY, I remember seeing him take us into he large, large barn to pick out the wood for one of his projects. All of his wood was stored vertically. Mine isn't but I like the idea. Makes it easier to pull from but what about the difference in the weight load on the floor verses horizontal storage. Something to think about. My husband and I are about to add additional rack storage in our building. Lorraine | |

The dark haired guy on DIY you saw was David Marks. Some people do store vertically. I remember seeing Alan in Little Washington do his that way. I guess more so it is height limitations that keeps a lot of people from doing it and then not having the boards supported properly so they don't develop a bow.
Just my thoughts, nothing concrete. | |

Travis, am I right in saying, if it is thick enough it will not bow if stored vertically? The reason I ask is that my husband and I were ready to put supports on a storage wall today when the nail gun refused to work. I am now considering other possible ways of storing some of my wood. I have a full wall of horizonal supports and two saw horses in the middle of the room with additional wood stored there. We are trying to get some off the floor. Lorraine | |
