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  |

hey the gaffa tape is holding the foam padding on its not structual , give me some credit.
Oh and i did have to find the gaffa tape that took at least 5mins

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 |
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Cripes I thought I had some gear?!  |
|
|
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.
|
|

What I have learned from this post is that some people have way to much gear.
|
|
|

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 ... |
|
|
I use L brackets from Bunnings with some soft padding, they work great.

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.

I had a look at their website, they have some cool systems and I don't think they're a to badly priced. But I reckon the shipping cost would blow the price out to be to expensive

This is what they say on there website:
'SOLID™ RACKS are 100% invented, designed, developed, manufactured and distributed in Australia by an Australian family owned and operated company'
|

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
