Pesky Wood Racks Update

Here's an update (Mar 15th 2013) with the new freestanding rack (10' x 6' high x 18" deep) now in place that can take 5500 lbs (2500kg) of evenly distributed weight over its 5 shelves.


Preparing the area

All my lumber, including the straw that broke the camels back, is now on this. I have even been able to leave an 8" gap behind the rack to fit sheet goods in. The utilization of space is now better than before as most of the 10" wide x 4/4 8/4 x 10 foot long boards were always on the floor so didn't contribute to the wall crack. They are now on the bottom shelf of the rack.
I just have a whole bunch of Triton wood racks to do something with now :)
