Hi everyone, a weeks holiday started for me today and as has been the case lately the surf forecast is as about as bad as it gets

Plenty of swell, and howling onshores to match, if the forecast is correct I might manage a day or two in the surf at best.

So this morning my son who is a builder had some free time too, came around and we nocked up some SUP storage racks in our garage. Took around an hour or so, having someone(not me) who knows what they are doing and the right tools makes life so much easier

It all seems to work now I just need to give a coat of paint, per wife's instruction and stick some marine carpet on the support arms and it done.






Its made the good wife happy to have the space tidied up and its going to make my life easier too.

Now to see if I actually get a chance to use it this week Have a great weekend all.

Steve.

Thanks Dave, he did work for "Dad" rates so that could make for some expensive storage for you.

living in the city makes me jealous of all that space.... nice rack!

Hi everyone, after missing out again this morning surf wise, I at least painted (as per the good wife) my new SUP rack. For some reason my wife did not take to green treated timber in her garage. So a few coats of black paint and now all that's left to do is to glue on the strips of marine carpet tomorrow.










My sons idea of cutting the ends of the timber on the angle has these arms tight against the wall and no real chance of dropping over time under the weight of the boards. If need we can add a bolt into the brick pier, however these are very solid at the moment.

My board racks. The rods are about $8.00 each at Bunnings and I just fixed them on the angle where they fitted on the boards. I did it this way as the garage is fairly narrow.

Good job, got me thinking of how to do it under my place.

Hi Dave, they are working a treat at the moment, love to see what you come up with.

Nice job drivethebus..

With a little help from a friend I got mine sorted..

I've noticed that people have stored their boards horizontally 3 different ways: deck side up, deck side down, or on the rails. What are the pros and cons of each method?

That's a great set up DJ, precise measuring for the second to top board

I will show my good wife this we she complains that I have to many boards

Steve.

But wait.. There's more..

Thanks.. My reasoning to the wife is if you played golf you wouldn't only have one or two clubs..

Waaaayyyy too clean and tidy DJ. You need to get a job!

Are you sure that you are married I have tried the golf analogy, my wife seems immune to it
