Let's talk board racks

I got this project done over the weekend that I've been putting off for a couple months now. It freed up so much space in my garage, so much better now.

 

Nice dude! I really need something like that. I just don't have a 9'6" clearance in my pad -_-

 

Thanks man, it literally only took 5 minutes to setup, but took all day to get rid of a bunch of junk and clean out the garage completely. I just bought the rack online, takes two screws, drywall anchors, and a drill. The floor mats were bought online too, put them together like puzzle pieces.

 

Looks good man....you are way to neat. I have 8 boards in a corner, stacked side by side nose down on a rubber mat and carpet.

 

Thanks dude, I was doing the same thing with my boards the past 9+ months since we moved in. Just laying in two piles stacked up, taking up floor space. I never had a garage before so this is something I've always wanted to do once I had the space. Just took a while to getting around to it. Now that it's done, i'm glad and wishing I did it the 1st week we moved in.

 

Ive done something very similar, it worked out very well and looks great in the garage

 

Nice. I need something like this. But I discovered that my garage is less than nine feet tall. Have to come up with a horizontal solution of some sort. And yeah, the crap I need to sort out/throw away is a whole nother ball of wax.

 

no, no, I put them on the nose and in a corner up against each other to take up the least amount of space.

 

Ah, gotcha, whatever works right? I'm happy I won't getting anymore wax on the bottoms of my boards from being stacked together.

 

My guy built a horizontal one. Two vertical metal strips drilled into the Cinderblock wall of garage. Then metal struts hooked onto openings in the strips. -- like those DYI bookshelves. Then I cut some styrofoam fun noodles and slid them onto the struts. Then just lay the board on top. I got 5 boards on with room for one or two more. Easy.

 

This sounds good. I might need to do something like this to get the boards out of the way.

 

Sounds like you should buy two more board!

 

o betty, I wish it was that simple. Ours is a small one car garage crammed with 25+ years of accumulated crap, bicycles, drums, guitars, lawnmower, tools, lumber, etc. Hasn't housed an automobile in a long time. Shelves along the walls so I don't even have 9-10 feet of wall space clear. I seriously didn't even consider storage when buying two new 9"+ boards last weekend. I figured I'd put them where I have some shorter boarts stored like DP-SUP has (w/o the rack) but then I discovered the height limitation. Something is gonna have to give...

 

Time to build an addition onto the house, don't even worry about carpet, put sand down and a couple palm trees, a cooler filled with ice / beer, a huge bong, and surf boards stacked along the walls. Call it the Green Room.

 

HaHa! I've already got that. It's called my back yard. Security is a small concern though.

 

Looks like someone been hitting the ol latex dummy in thurr spare time!

 

I was thinking something more private lol

 

private parts?

 

The side benefit of a hurricane. We lost just about everything in 04. I issued an edict, " No more buying stuff just cuz it's on sale" . Pitched everything out except tools pretty much. Got rid of 40 large cartons of stuff.

 

Enough money to buy two new longboards??? I'm with DP.. Sounds like you got enough to put on an addition or build from scratch. Thats like a month or two of mortgage for me in these parts.
