When we had our basement finished, I had a second furnace room door installed to access a small (roughly 3' x 5') area behind the furnace. I figured I could use it for lumber storage.
It wasn't very useful as is, because there wasn't enough room for much lumber AND someone looking for lumber. So I came up with this:
I had storage of baltic birch in mind (5' x 5'), though the height isn't limited 'til about 6'. Anything larger stays in the garage until it's cut down.
Halfway through the project I realized I had a fair amount of sheetgoods that was less than 3' x 3', so I added a second level on one side using 1/2" pipe. Pipe caps hold the outer board in place.
I added safety chains before anyone got hurt. (I'm still thinking of improvements for this.)
Regards,
Tom
