At the moment I have lots of bits of spare drainage, from soil pipes to

However the garage is coming down so I need to relocate them (still some
bits of work to do finishing off the main drainage, then I can get rid of
the remainder).

I have limited unallocated space and the best place to store them seems to
be alongside a wall of the monster shed at the bottom of the garden.

I am now wondering about the best structure.

So far, I have come up with:

Couple of fence posts in metal spikes with batten between them and the
wall. fixed to the wall. Effectively minimal racking.

Loops of rope fixed to the wall so the pipes can be slid into them
(possibly less capacity and ability to sort, but perhaps easier to fix).


Has anyone else built this kind of off-ground storage?

If so, what worked best?

Remember that most of this stuff will sag and acquire a bend over time
using two point support. Soil pipe is stiffer than most, and you can
stack guttering or "sink waste" inside that. I've got spare guttering
stored flat on the ground between a shed and a wall. I keep my spare
pipe on a couple of shelves.

I store some of my timber on a couple of these "in series" so that the
span is a couple of feet, or so

Very solidly made, but plastic coated steel so they would eventually
rust outdoors.
