How to Make a Lumber Rack (Old Version)

Description:

Note: This is the older version of my lumber rack video. Since then, I have created a new video on how to make a lumber rack that is higher quality.

This week I gathered up some scrap 2×4’s from around my shop and put together some lumber racks. Using a simple triangle design gives the rack plenty of strength to hold up the wood. After finding the studs in the walls, I attached the racks to the walls using 3″ long screws. However, I would highly recommend going with some lag screws because they are much stronger and you won’t have to worry about the rack ripping off the wall. I plan on painting these in the future, but for now they work great!
