RickyMcGrath Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wanted to start the thread to hopefully, give me some motivation this weekend. I have welded the rack up and I need to finish up a few welds, clean the steel, paint it and get 'er hung and stocked. I have 4 columns about 6' tall. It won't hold ALL my tough boxes, but it sure will hold a good majority. Suspending them off the ground will be nice because I can put the XL boxes at the bottom and let them hang below the bottom of the rack to maximize the amount of boxes I can stack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyMcGrath Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I only have 40 boxes. So I'm a tad short of that. But in my defense, I believe 3-4 people stacked their boxes for that photo. [emoji848] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyMcGrath Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Got it cleaned up and a quick shot of paint. I'll touch up paint tomorrow morning and get ready to hang it on the wall. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyMcGrath Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Didn't want you guys to think I was slacking. I gave up on making it pretty. The paint adds too much thickness and scratches up when I put the brackets on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sweeeeet. When you have it all setup, touch up the paint inbetween the brackets. 1 penny reserved [emoji6] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyMcGrath Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Working on spacing. I'm short some brackets and I still may not be able to fit about 10 of the boxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Somethings wrong Ricky. Each bank has to be made up from bottom to top like the others. You got the TLC now use some OCD [emoji16]✌️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I know. I know. I also realized that starting at the lowest point isn't the best idea. I have about 1/2 a box of room left at the top. I need to start as high as possible and work down. I also have an odd ball amount of boxes for this setup. I am going to make a separate rack that will hold the extra, odd number sizes and the ones that don't fit on here. I'll make it nice and symmetrical.

RickyMcGrath Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well, I ordered the 20 more DSBrackets I needed. Found a great deal online. Only downfall is they only shipped 5 of the 20. The rest are on back order until April 27.

RickyMcGrath Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I like it, some LEDS between the racks would look sick Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ask and you shall receive. Found a set of LED strip lights at HD. PERFECT for accent lighting the boxes. I'm still waiting on the DS Brackets. I also picked up three more Large boxes. So I'm going to have to change the layout a little. The seller is saying another week before I get the other 15 brackets. I'm getting pretty impatient here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
