SUP Rack for Garage

[JP4]

If you can find a buddy with a welder, you can make a bomber rack pretty cheaply and quickly.  This is just 1 1/2" square tubing welded to 1 1/2" channel. A little spray paint, couple of lag bolts, and some pipe insulation and your done.
 

Funny, those look an awful lot like the windsurf stacking racks that I left behind back in Hood River JP4....just another thing I wish I'd brought with me now. Well, whatever, maybe you did weld those up but the resemblance is uncanny.

No, I really did weld those up Cove, though you could have saved me the trouble by giving me your old ones instead of that box of used mountain bike tires that is still sitting in my garage;)

Any idea how much that steel tubing and track would cost to build two of the 2-3 board racks to hang on the wall?  Assuming I can find someone on craigslist to weld, just curious how the price of the materials would cost vs some of the pre-fab stuff.

What Pono said.  The price really varies. When I buy steel at the local machine shop, they sell it by the pound and sometimes they just guesstimate the cost.  The rack I made is pretty light gauge, so I think it was only about $20 for the steel.

The iron pipe and floor flange system is about the easiest. Requires almost no mechanical ability. I have a pull up bar I built using that system. Just get a couple floor flanges, screw them to a 2X6 at whatever spacing you want, then screw that 2X6 to with a pair of long wood screws at each stud you hit.

I am pretty pathetic, I have a 1800 sf shop, and 0sf of empty wall space. Sometimes I wonder how I got so much "stuff".

Welcome to my world. I am on a "simplify" kick, so I have all my stuff narrowed down to just a single warehouse. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

This rack is fairly adjustable using a simple ShelfTrack system, PVC caps, pipe insulation and 3m spray adhesive.

^^^^^^What I find most impressive about the Naish board storage is that it does not appear to be in a garage at all. It looks like it is in the HOUSE. There is carpeting. So, the real beauty of this rack is that the builder was able to get his wife to approve it!

That's what I call art. If I had a limit of two boards  Those would suit me fine...... Nice quiver.

[PonoBill]

What wife?

Actually, I already have the bottom one:)

If TallDude can quote himself, I guess I can resurrect an old post related to this:

By the way, that old thread had a lot of great storage ideas.

no wife.  i'm an apartment dweller, so i have no other free storage options.  it's actually the master bedroom, because it's the only room that i could maneuver a 14' board into.  i use the room as my office/board room.  i sleep in the smaller bedroom.

Called it.

Got the wall rack and rolling rack from T-raxsurf.com.
Not cheap but they are well-made.

I guess I am Lucky.  I have them in the house and the garage.  Wife doesn't seem to mind "much".  She knew it was like that before she married me.  She knew what she was getting into. No boards in the guest room, kitchen, or dining room.   BTW she has three SUPS on the rack in the garage.
