In all reality, standing your wood up does several things for you, it takes less space, gives more air around it, makes it more easily accessible and allows to more clearly see what you are dealing with.

AND if you have already installed the supports, you have ready made bins for separating you species and sizes.

And requires 10' to 16' ceilings, at least for a lot of the stock
I get.

Agree. My shop is in the basement. Ceilings, floor joists, are about 7.5 =
feet high, give or take a couple inches. I cannot even stand up a 4x8 plyw=
ood in my basement. Unless you work in a warehouse, standing wood up verti=
cally is nonsense. Fine for cutoffs, but not wood you buy for use.
Lordy. That seems like a lot of wood and work to put some wood on shelves.=
I'd suggest just screwing several of those L shelf brackets to the studs.=
Home Depot sells them for $1.98 and $2.38 each. If you are worried about=
the L brackets pushing into the drywall, then screw some 1x4s over the stu=
ds first before attaching the L bracket to the stud.

I cut a big hole in my basement ceiling. I chose my wood from the dining
room. ;-)

it has a nice architectural look to it and the old redwood looks good
the cantilevers match the other rack i made
those i placed before drywall
i hear ya on the extra work but i can do pull ups too on these
and i had all the wood on hand and even the lag bolts
did have to get four long bolts but that was all

but takes up floor space and requires high ceilings
