simple, cheap lumber rack
OK.. been toiling with this for years.
The other day, in Lowes, I spot 12" x 14" L-bracket shelf supports rated at 100 lbs. So I figure 4 of those mounted to a 2x4, mounted to my shop wall studs and spaced 12" vertically apart or so and that should be adequate. I ran some calcs based on wood density and a stack of 12" oak that is 10" wide would average out to less than 100# per support. oak 50#/cuft 50 x 8' x 12" x 10" / 4 supports = 83 # / support What am I missing? Mount several sets of 4 in-a-row and walla -- instanct lumber rack for $2 a support ($8 per row) |
