Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone had knocked up any decent racking for their kit to go in their garage?
I'm starting to collect a fair bit of kit now and wanted to build something to hold my boards, sails booms etc off the floor but take up a minimal amount of space in the garage.
"Chippy" That means 5 mins to build with the gaffa tape and 15mins for the smoko break 
, give me some credit.
Not a chippy but this is what I came up with
A couple of hooks from Bunnings for masts, 25mm dowel into decking planks separated by off cutts for the boards. The spacing between dowels was about 270mm from memory.
^^^ paddy you missed one thing - the car is the wrong way around, needs to be reversed in for rapid board loading
3 x board on racks, 5 x sails, 1 x shelf for boxes & ancillary gear
All from bits of timber I had saved for special purposes 
4 x masonry bolts, 8 x brackets, foam rubber on racks 
My Take on the subject
used left over 4 by 4 and cheap ,metallic shelving from bunnings
Ive seen a fair few "racks" in my time, several things to consider when building,
if its in a shed that will get hot face boards fins up so the weight of the board doesnt make the rocker sag, i have even seen rocker lines straighten from boards left in racks fins up, or if u have enough room build rack so boards can stand on nose or tail, cheers
I did mine dodgy but it turned out ok, drilled some holes in the garage wall and put lengths of 12mm threaded rods in with some sikaflex for a bit of strength, then slid some hose over to protect my boards. Works sweet.
Probally bit off topic but here is a design i knocked with spare time at work for surfboards to be mounted in a open plan area where asetics were a concern.
This is an old pic, all racks are full now. The car parks under the rack (where the board repairs are shown).
Chippie also (joiner), took about 10-15mins - very untidy shed, and it hasn't improved since that photo was taken!
Wow sail you need a bigger man cave !!!
polished 316 stainless. ;-) interior board holder.
Here in Bermuda having a garage is a luxurious option when you rent/buy an house.
So ... I have my rack in the backyard waiting for the first hurricane to come and test it ...
Of course I will empty it before ...
Lat night (Perth) on the New Inventors ABC was a new product that is a sheet of thick plastic with a series of rectangular holes in it to suit various brackets.
It was not cheap.
See "New Inventors" website for details.
But I reckon the shipping cost would blow the price out to be to expensive

Infinity racks.. what a load of **** .. these armature inventor idiots seen a basic hand rack system and designed a bit to fit in the send then import them straight from a sweat shop in china.
What will they invent next? the first ****en space shuttle to mars.
should be called the young exploit a Chinese sweatshop and sell the cheapish junk to rich people who are incompetent of using a masonry drill welder and spirit level.
These cost me about 70 bucks in total and are free standing, ie. not attached to the wall.
When I moved I found that I did'nt have enough wall space for a regular rack, but found a vertical rack worked quite well as the garage ceilng is quite high
