My husband is building a storage shed onto the side of our house for my windsurfing gear (To free up space in the other shed).
Any suggestions for racks that can bolt onto a brick wall to hold boards?
We don't have welding gear and there will be room to put the boards in horizontally, long side against the wall.
Suggestions for sail storage?
Thanks.
The way most people do it:
2 pieces of 2x4 treated pine bolted vertically to the wall, 4ft apart.
Drill 25mm holes with a spade bit into the 2x4, perpendicular to the wall, angled slightly downwards, with holes spaced 40mm apart.
Insert 2ft lengths of 25mm dowel into holes.
Boardrack!
For over 10 years I've been using bolt on racks from Bunnings. They allow you to mount the board side ways with room behind the board for mast etc. I just add padding for board protection when not in their board bags.
I can tell you not to use galvanised steel tube. If the boards are even a little bit wet they will end up rusting the steel.
I changed my board racks from being horizontal to vertical because the boards on top were too hard to get to.
I also used two pieces of timber horizontally with 25mm holes drilled in them and electrical conduit used to separate all the boards. It means I can get at any board without having to move the others, and being timber and plastic, it doesn't rust.
I use a purpose built rack (bought from a surf/windsurf shop) for my good board and basic wall hooks from bunnings for my old crap boards.
