So as the new shop is getting much closer to completion, I closed out my storage unit and have about 500 board feet of lumber in my trailer. Mostly Birch, poplar, maple and white oak. In my old shop and in the storage unit, I used heavy duty rubbermaid shelving attached to the wall with 4" #10 screws into the 2x6 walls of the shop and had np problems no matter how much they were loaded up. You can see my sheet goods storage that shows the lumber racks above. These went to the ceiling so about 6' of shelves vertically and 16 feet long.
Lumber storage is going to be in the utility room of the house which has hollow cinder block walls, but I've never had cinder block walls in a basement before. Assuming I stay with the same method for lumber storage, what is the best way to attach something to cinder blocks that is going to need to hold some serious weight?
Otherwise I'm open to any ideas for lumber storage. Below is the area I have to work with and SWMBO is under the impression that she may be getting part of this space for storage as well. Ceilings are 8' not 12' like in my last shop.
