I've been trying to decide on a storage solution for the sheet goods, leftovers, and boards I have in my garage shop. I took the many A frame designs out there and designed my own in Sketchup, but then found the Lumber Rack and Sheet Storage design in ShopNotes Vol 17, as shown in the image below, and am really leaning towards making it instead.
I'm considering using 2x6's for the uprights instead of 2x4s to give a little extra depth for storing shorts and stuff between them and then using a 2x8 for the sheet roll out piece to give me storage space for around 10 sheets. I'm also planning to use three 6" swivel casters (http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/10746) I have already purchased from Hartville Tool and space them evenly along the bottom of the roll out bin to support the weight and hopefully make it roll smoothly. The plans call for only two 2" fixed casters out on the end.
Has anyone ever built this and if so, is there any advice you can provide? If not, does anyone see any problems with my plans?
