Thread: Fast wood storage rack

Howdy,

Did this a little while ago, a fast and not too expensive wood storage system. I used 40 x 40 x 2.5mm RHS The uprights are 2400mm and the supports are 600mm. The supports start at 1500 to make it easy to park sheets on the bottom.

To hold the brackets to the wall I used 100mm x 10mm ramset bolts and given the overkill on the steel wall thickness I just cut out the extra where the upright overlapped conduit.

I got the RHS cut to size at the metal mart and total cost including the endcaps was $265. I strongly recommend the endcaps, saved my head a couple of times already. Total time to build and install was 4 hours work, with a helper you could do it in 2 hours.

Pictures are raw materials, my "welding" job and the finished storage.

Hope this may be useful.
