I was wondering how those of you with small shops (mine's a 2-car garage) store lumber. I'm trying to look for the smallest footprint that I can. Mostly, all I would store is a couple sheets of plywood, some dimensional lumber, and smaller pieces of hardwood. 1x3s, etc. No giant slabs or anything. I'm trying to set up my work bench and wood storage on one side. My garage shares my wife's car when I'm not working on any projects. Right now, I have a rolling cart (for plywood and a couple pieces of dimensional lumber) that hasn't rolled anywhere since I built it. I built some "cantilever" style shelves that are mounted to the wall that currently store my 2x4s.
Yes, I have googled this topic, however, I would like to see some of your ideas. Maybe you guys have made modifications that would be more efficient. I plan on putting it on the left side of my garage and have about 3 feet from the wall to the garage door that I can work with. My garage depth is 23' I believe with the last 7' unusable (door and water heater).
One idea I had was storing the sheet goods between my garage door and ceiling. btw, my ceiling is only 8.5'
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
