Simple way to store my wood up in the shop. I made this using one 4×8x1/2” plywood. I am thinking about making one more, you can never have too much storage.

Master Sergeant how much weight do you think that rack can hold with those french cleats like that. I have a lot of wood and see this as a great idea. Thanks for any info provided. Thanks

I’m thinking up a storage system myself. But I have cinder block walls, so I am not certain what to do yet. Yours looks great. That’s funny that the inspector required trim as you mentioned in your profile.

This looks like a great idea and fairly simple. Could you expand your narrative to give a little more information on strength, how the supports are attached to the vertical pieces, how it is attached to the wall and what the pegs are for?

Thanks shimster, I was trying to remember where I got the plans from. Putting this together was a fun day task. As far as how much will it hold, lets just say I am more worried about over tasking my wall then I am the wood rack! As you can see in the picture I have it loaded!
The horizontal pegs are to keep the verticals from moving/swaying. All three verticals are adjustable; raise up, pull out, move to desired location, place over peg, push in, and finally slide down. That easy.

I guess I didn’t answer all the questions above ;-) The horizontals are 3/8” lag bolted into the wall studs, I went every other one and that seems to be holding up just fine. The verticals are attached using a matching angle cut in both the horizontal and vertical, the more pulling down the tighter the hold is the idea. The pegs I went a little over board on, they keep the verticals from swaying from side to side. I could have used the pegs at the vertical locations but I decided to put a peg in all the holes and be done with it.
