Like many, I'm trying to make more room in the shop. The only thing left
that can possibly go is the lumber storage. I have a great spot for it
outside, but short of building an entire shed for it, I don't know how to
protect if from the sun and rain (I'm in Arizona so it's more of a sun
problem than rain). Of course, out here, scorpions and spiders are also an
issue, as they love to build homes in places like that.

I have a 6 foot block wall that I'd like to attach the rack to and hang the
material (including sheet goods). Any ideas on how to protect it properly
from the elements?

TIA

Costco's got a nice size (10x20) portable carport for less than $200.
The manufacturer says to take it down in severe weather, so I've also
tarped the stock I've stored in mine. Here comes the monsoon... Tom in

I 2nd the carport/garage idea....
We have the HF carport on our patio, and if I had room somewhere, I'd get
something like this

and build a double sided storage rack to fit inside it...

As for the little nasty things, I fog my shop once a month... seems like you
could do the same to a portable garage.. YMMV
