Tom King Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I know this is the wrong forum, but thought too many might miss it if I put it there. http://www.lowes.com/pd_752430-23796-PBR-001___?productId=999902675&pl=1&Ntt=portamate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks bud. I've been waiting for them to go on sale again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Are these quality and hold up over time? I was thinking of doing the 2x4 method but this price is pretty solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxerjoe04 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Dang $20, thought I got a deal paying $30-35. I've got two in my garage, work pretty well. Could pick up one and add a center support to the two I got. 1 minute ago, bushwacked said: Are these quality and hold up over time? I was thinking of doing the 2x4 method but this price is pretty solid I have two, one is like 2 years old, has held up fine(knock on wood). One problem is that if you want to sticker the wood on the rack, then you won't be getting a ton of wood on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have one of these, and at this price may be worth getting another. Mine has worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I almost went for a couple a month or two ago when they were $35. Built one instead from 1/2 black pipe and 2 x 4's That's a damn good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thx I just ordered one, picking it up later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwood Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Smoking price. I picked up 2 sets after black Friday for 29.99 and thought I did good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Wow. I got my first one at $40, second for full price of $60 A third for $20. They do work great. But like someone said above, you run out of room fast stickering. I got aboout 3 8/4 walnut boards on my bottom rows (not stickered.) pic - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I bought 4 when they were $30, I might buy a couple more for $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I just bought two of these, and over $100 of other stuff at Lowes. If it hadn't been for this deal, I would have spent that $100 at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I had bought 2 when they were 35 on Woot. I guess I'm gonna have to frame the exterior wall of my utility room in the basement and put 4 of them up. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmazi Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks, definitely a great deal! I've got 2 mounted side by side in the garage full of 8-10' pieces. I've been needing something like an extra large pipe cart for moving material....2-4 of these mounted to a wood A frame on casters might be handy and save a bit of $$ and work BTW for anyone shopping at Lowes or anywhere for that matter check out this gift card website. I am in no way connected with them just sharing. Right now Lowes cards are 9% off which adds up quick. The first 1-2 transactions were a bit slow but once my account was setup they are delivered within 5-30min normally. I've been using it for months. www.raise.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just bought 2 more...have one that I got from Rockler at 30 I think...Thanks for posting Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have a number of these for my shed. At $20 it's a great deal. At $60 it's a screw job. I wish they came with more vertical supports and fewer brackets. The last two sets I bought I'll be using the four vertical supports and throwing away at least half the brackets...they take up too much space.

So you could use say four or five to get better spacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of doing the 2x4 method but this price is pretty solid I have multiple sets and they work great. Prior to buying them I had home built racks made from 2x4s, but these are much more space efficient because the support arms are thinner than what you can make with wood 2 hours ago, Eric. said: I have a number of these for my shed.

Why dont you just buy some 1"x1" steel tubing from the steel yard and make more vertical supports? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I could. I could also buy everything I need to build the whole thing from scratch. My point is it would be a better product if they included four verticals per set and a couple less horizontal brackets. The weak link is the lack of verticals. You could stack more boards on fewer horizontals but only the two verticals makes me nervous under a full load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spaced mine at 30" and used plenty of verticals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyestoob Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for the heads up Tom. I am just getting my new shop set up and I went ahead and grabbed 4 of these to speed up the process. At that price I am trying to decide if there is anywhere else I could use these.

Beechwood Chip Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 By the way, I found them in the utility shelving aisle. Not surprising, but I made the mistake of asking and got sent down to lumber at the other end of the store. Other than that, I found the staff available and helpful. The guy who mis-directed me came and found me, walked with me to the correct aisle, and made sure I found what I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they would have to be delivered, but they were ready in an hour. This explains why I have never seen them there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
