For the price, check out the Triton racks, great value.

There has been a fair bit of discussion about timber storage. The best version seems to be an angled rack with space for sheet goods underneath.

You'll need a free standing steel job for that much weight, as a wooden one would need to be pretty chunky which in turn would take up valuable extra rack space.
What about looking for some second hand pallet racks?....................................................................

I reckon the pallette racks you saw would be the go - I used Dexion frames for mine, but nothing like the weight youre talking about ..... they do the job though.

If you had read on in that thread you would have seen the engineering math for the rating of that timber rack.
this was worked on math only and did not take into account the inherent strenght of the timber which would actually increase its load rating.
so this rack would in fact take over 3 ton.
But what Flash said is true about the size of the timber rack Vs size of a steel rack.

Further to my previous, a quick sketch to help explain. The details sketched in the first A frame would be the same for all 3.

I am in the process of constructing a larger unit in my timber storage shed 5 metres wide by 3.6 metres high. It will have horizontal members every 600mm to 2.4 metres and the upper section above this will be used to rack green timber to dry, forgot to take the camera with me today. Will try and remember on my next visit next weekend.
