Super Strong Lumber Storage Rack | How To Build

I've been tripping over a pile of lumber on the garage floor for a while now, and I decided it was time to change that - so I built a super strong lumber storage rack to hang on the wall. This was a very easy build and I was able to use up a ton of my plywood offcuts in the process! Be sure to check out the project page (link below) if you want to make a set of these storage racks!

The ability to use scraps and really only need to buy glue, screws and some lag bolts is fantastic!

dude, i've been using a table saw for the last 45 years and you have to wear a mask. you will get lung problems when you are past 60 years old. that dust killed my dad at his wood shop from cutting plywood and particle board. plywood has two or three types of glue too and the glue from the particle board is the most deadly. spread the word. peace!

You are a genius my man! the most simple designs are the hardest to think of so respect for coming up with something so simple but usefull and strong at the same time!

[whatitisMillertime]

Thank you for sharing your design with everyone 👌...

Cool & Actionable content; I already had 2x6 boards lag bolted 22" down from the ceiling, all the way around my garage walls; there was a lot of unused space being wasted above the garage door, and laid in planks running across, and used 1/4" cable to anchor the planks in the center; to add strength to the load capacity; but only ran the planks 75% of the way in; and store the holiday items on top in tote tubs; now I can add the arms out of scrap 2x4's to store my scraps and unused lumber off the face of the 2x6's. So, thanks for the ideas.

Peace

"Instant" mortise and tenon plywood joints :) Quite strong!

I just built my wood storage racks using your video, thanks!

[rrtownsend]

At first I had my doubts but that looks pretty strong for my application. Thanks RT

[SDenhoff]

Dude! This was incredible! I love that you went with scraps

[poeblob]

Love the idea, prolly make some variation of it, plenty if scraps around

[madmikemakes]

That's a great idea. I would have never thought to try that because in my mind it wouldn't be strong enough. Great video and kudos for giving it a shot and making the concept work.

Line levels need to be in the middle of the line for the bubble to be meaningful.

It’s a really good design and very neatly done but the only downsides I can see is the potential for the plywood to delaminate in humid or damp environments or for mould to develop on the edges so I’d suggest slapping a coat of paint or varnish on it to finish it off if that’s a concern for anyone working in less that ideal conditions. I wasted a bundle of expensive Russian ply learning that.

[campmodewithrussell]

Good job! I am in the process of using your concept but making it fit my needs, thanks!

[patscorci]

What a great idea! I have been looking for something like this, got lotsa leftover wood that can be useful now! Absolutely subscribing, Thank you

[gregtomlinson]

Great design for strength 👍 but dude, put a riving knife on your table saw!!

[Thesingertina]

Could I drill/hang them in the on the wider side? I love this idea for simple storage in my shed

[kennethkline]

I had a bunch of scrap wood that I needed to hang on the wall, but after I used it to build this, I had no more scrap! 😅

Pro tip - You should finish that drywall prior to installing your storage rack.

hi from a cross the pond l not bothered about the looks of the bracket look like can one use OSB sheets 3/4 or 18mm thick
