I'm looking for pictures or ideas of where you guys store your plywood sized ****. I've got a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 plywood that I use on saw horses outside for a temporary "dirty" workbench, then some other scrap pieces of wood, a 72 chevelle hood...you know...all the usuall stuff.

I've got a standard 22x20 2-car (read 1 car) garage. Where should I put this stuff.

thanks

Not sure how elaborate you're looking to get, but you could build a shed. I just leave my plywood outside either stacked or leaned up tight against something. Right now it's sitting in my driveway cause my **** friend didn't want to get his tires muddy...lol.

The best thing to do is make some type of rolling rack on casters that you can stack the wood vertically on. That way it can be moved for cleaning, etc. Mine looks like an inverted "T" with wheels. The plywood (hurricance shutters) is stacked and held in place with a stap.

I just found what I thought was a great solution which I plan to replicate whenever I find the time

imagine cutting that 4x8 sheep diagonaly, then position the 2 piecec side by side so theu are 4 foot tall 8 foor long triangles, now drop a 2x6 between them both bottom and back, put a couple foor long pieces of 2x4 across the bottom for stabulity and add casters, it rolls flat against the wall for storage and with the tapers pocket you can put smaller pieces towards the end so that they are easily accessible

I don't know how well I explained that but it looks like a great solution to me

Isn't it time for someone to post one of those "This thread is useless without pictures" things?

OK. Here's a pic.

Is that the 4x8 sheep that evildky is talking about cutting?
lol, I didn't even notice till you said that, and I'd change it but I think changing it would loose the meaning in the pic, and clearly thats a 4x4 sheep ;)
