Hi folks, just happened across this group and it looks like a heck of
a resource- lots of experience and skill represented in here, makes
for pretty interesting reading!



However, for this I need my garage back... It is now pretty much full
of ski gear, snowboard gear etc (there are 5 of us in the family who
ski and 2 of the 3 kids do both so it looks like a ski shop has
exploded in my shop). I was just wondering if anyone has tackled a
similar problem- I am looking for plans or ideas for storing
skis/poles etc, nothing too fancy, just functional- to store the gear
on "in-season". Has to be in my shop so space is an issue.

I have a few ideas of my own (basic rack) but am interested if maybe
anyone else has come up with a cool solution?

thanks

I finished my ski rack a few weeks ago. Nothing more than a piece of
horizonal 2*4 fastened to the studs high enough to keep the tails of the
skis off the floor. Ski hangers are merely 4 inch pieces of 2*4 spaced
about 3" apart. The toe pieces of the step in bindings rest on the
hangers. A good 1 1/2" dado in the horizontal 2*4, some glue and a
couple of 2" wood screws holds the hangers in place good and tight.
Mine holds 6 pairs of skis.

Thanks David, sounds kind of like what I was kicking around.
