wall and ceiling racking solutions

Hows your woodworking skills? This is freestanding and saves heaps of room.

You know what, that upright pic gave me an idea. Why lay em flat when you can stand them up. Easier to stack them too (as long as they fit). I am going to see what they do at the local windsurf shop...

That's what I ended up doing after realising I couldn't get to the boards on the top too easily.

I ended up using some timber battens horizontally across the wall with 1 inch holes using a spade bit. I then used sections of electrical conduit in these holes with a screw in the gap between conduit and hole to lock the conduit in.

It also doesn't rust! Unlike the galvanised steel tube I used in the first effort.

I am looking forward to not having to take the gear out of my car for weeks on end
- 2 months to go

Power of positive thought........

Mine are in storage at present but are really simple (thanks Nebs)
for 4 boards, and some masts:
2 bits of 100x 50 timber about 1500 long (could get away with smaller than 100x50)
Then drill holes and bang in bits of (8 of them foe 4 boards) 20mm ish dowels (broom handle) about 500mm long
The broom handle sounds weak but has coped with boards

the end result looks similar to Benders but is dead easy to make, without the knee brace of Benders version the boards can be closer together.
One day when mine are in a shed I may post a photo.

Very neat drJ
