Mark J Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Good show, and good idea. I like that the boards are stacked edge out so ther's no "bottom of the pile" to get lost in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 well done Kev, and that edge out idea is a great one, never thought of that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I like vertical storage, so much easier to pick through the stock. Helps if you have high ceilings.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Moore Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Looks good but with only 8'6" ceilings it doesn't work with 9' to 10' stock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Great idea and build Kev. Were the holes in the 2x’s tight enough or did you have to epoxy the conduit pieces in place? The only thing I would have done differently is to add some kind of rubber cap to the ends of the conduit pieces such as these. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Rubbermaid-100-Piece-Universal-End-Caps/4772377 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an issue in the future, I can. As for the ends, I did file them clean and the rubber caps actually sound like a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and purchase 8' boards when I can. I also do have some horizontal racks for longer material. I actually laid out my new shop plan with an area under the tallest portion of the roof pitch for vertical lumber storage. I have also found that over time I can get away with having the yard crosscut longer pieces at a good location, figure wise. That is, there are locations on many boards that I would never use as a continuous run due to undesirable figure. I have 14 foot board cut in two at that location. This can solve your "too-tall-Paul" problem when it comes to vertical storage. Once you savor the advantages of not having to un-stack horizontal lumber piles to get to the board you want, you will get pretty inventive in order to store vertically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'll go ahead and clip off the checked ends that often have other defects as well and that nearly always gets me closer to my vertical length.

Larry Moore Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 My statement was kind of tongue in cheek. I buy 8' stock when it looks good but a lot of the rough lumber where I buy it is 9 to 10'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
