Default Storing various drain pipes

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?

Gutter brackets are surprisingly strong and cheap.


Hmmm.....but how much guttering will they hold?

Then again the brackets to hold grey soil pipe against the wall are also
pretty cheap (may even have some in stock) so perhaps I could mount the
big pipes and then just slide the guttering and smaller pipes inside.

Thanks - that might be a plan!


Cheers
