| 109033 | 3331 | Show me your racks! | 23 | Chilly Willy | Jan 3, 2017 | 2017-01-03T09:29:31-0500 | It's a little tough to see details, but here's what I've got: shelving rails (twin slotted for extra strength) paired with the longest shelf brackets I could find. I think the brackets were maybe 20" long or possibly more. I wrapped each bracket with foam pipe insulation for padding, and I added some to other hard surfaces like the exposed rails or underside of the workbench on the far wall. I also have a third shelving rail that runs vertically around the middle to hold shorter boards (see the fish just above the boogie) in the spot where I would otherwise be unable to fit a longboard. It has served me well for about 10 years now. I've added brackets as necessary, but I also stack boards when possible. (Credit goes to NJLongboarder -- I believe I poached this rack idea from him if memory serves correctly.) Pros: easy to install, adjustable to fit a changing quiver or different racking configurations. Cons: shelf brackets can wobble side-to-side a little bit I also got tired of moving a midrange board to get to some of my other boards, so I whipped up a little hanging spot from the rafters with some spare materials that I had lying around the shed. I sawed a plank in half to get two small boards, wrapped it in foam pipe insulation, tacked the insulation in place with some finishing nails, and strung it all up with hook screws. It's far from perfect, but it did the job and only cost me the time to build it. |
