Need some orginazation "fresh ideas".

So about 2 years ago i picked up several sections of used bowling lane for various projects. One got turned into a rolling work bench top and the other 3 will become dinning tables at some point over the next 1-5 years.

The problem I'm having is where to keep them. I have literally been tripping over them for the last 2 years and am sick of it. They currently reside on the floor in front of my 4 post lift. I'm afraid to stand them up because I don't want them to bow for obvious reasons. 2 sections are roughly 10'x40" wide and the other section is 12' long. Guessing 250lbs-ish per section.

Anybody? Ive got a nice pallet rack i could stack them on top of, but its only 6' wide. I'm stumped.

Here's what I'm dealing with...

Here you can kinda see where they are now and why they are so in the way.

Make a bowling lane in your shop? Problem solved...

Stack em on your pallet racks with each end hanging over is even and build some "T" supports out of 2x4 to support the ends from drooping down. Should solve your problems.

Hokie,
Lose the language before the moderators MAKE you clean it up.

I would think you could stand it up on end next to your pallet rack, and then just use some straps to snug it up to the racks. I've seen plywood stored this way to prevent any bowing.

Put them underneath your Coke machine and fridge. It not going to hurt them (unless the fridge defrosts).

If it is stored perfectly (or very nearly) verticle it should not warp

Add a section to your existing pallet rack.
