Hauling saws - Truck bed

For a long time I never had any issues with hauling my saws in a truck bed. I usually try to put them up against the tailgate sideways and secure with a bungee. I run into a problem a while back with having too much/many saws for that method. Two saws with 24s and a third make it impossible. I'm not a fan of them having a Monday night raw match back there while I'm driving around. How do you keep yours secured while in transport? I'm thinking of making some sort of jig from lumber.

 

I have a rubber bed mat in my Tacoma that keeps my saws from sliding around. There’s typically rope bags and other things to wedge them up too.

 

I have a 4x4 cut to the length between sides of the truck bed(actually just a little short ) and place it behind the wheel wells. I then can put saws, gas cans or whatever between the 4x4 and the tailgate.

 

From the interweb.

 

Yep, this is where I was going with it. Not real friendly to the buck n stuff hoarding but I rarely if ever do that. When I do I just make a cubby in the wood for the saw/s.

 

I've been doing this to get by.

 

I need to build something for our F250, currently we have a big piece of OSB board the saws sit on, with a strap thru the handles so they don't slide around.

 

If I’m hauling wood, I’m not hauling more than 2 saws.
If I’m hauling more than 2 saws, I’m probably not hauling wood.

I set mine on the floor or against the back of the cab. I will stick the bar down between wood rows if I’m full.

 

I like this saws are Secure

 

My plastic bed liner has slots for 2x's(as shown in Mike's pic). I have a piece cut for the rear most slot and load my saws E/W and they don't move much at all.

Normally if im taking two saws to a cut ill interlock the bars with the side of the handles to lock them together.
When the PU is full of wood ill cram them in the cab. or slide a bar vertical in the bed somewhere. I have bungeed in the past and always have them at my disposal.

 

I only do this if they have scabbards. Works well.

 

They do.

 

I cut a IBC tote liner in half at 45*. I put the saws, fuel, pipe and other supplies in that. I got the idea from Sams Doing Stuff on YouTube.

 

You're not driving fast enough!!

 

This is what I came up with. It only holds 2, the way I made it, but I don't see why it couldn't be expanded on. I don't drive fast, but I like being able to see my saws while driving down the road. Also, I wanted a setup that doesn't risk a piece of wood falling, or shifting around and banging up the plastic, or any other part of my saws. This gives me a nice little cubby below it for either wood, or other tools, gas cans, or whatever I'd want to haul.

 

That looks good.

 

Thank you, Sir. It does the job.
