    On way home from work, a local eating establishment remodling was tossing their old booths out, The packrat I am, I said to myself what can I use these for, "THEN IT HIT ME"o_O wood racks:D……. I asked the guy if they were trash and he said yea, but ya got to take them all! NO PROBLEM,,,,
    I have nothing against the back of the house, a little modification and I got nice fat wood rack for the back of the house:cool: They are all 1/8" square tube and angle iron, welded and "powder coated":D:thumbs: we'll see how long it takes before they rust when the dogs start peeing on them.

    The nice thing is you can always scrap them if you do something different in the future.

    The pic is not so good, but I already moved them into place. It came out to be 12' 6" long x 36" wide:cool:….. Get me some pressure treated 2x4s or 2x whatever scraps, " i'm sure I'll get some somewhere;)" and what a sweet rack!:D

    The uprights are 20" but I don't want to go much higher than that because of the siding on the house, I'm happy with that:) I'll put some treated down for the base and ends, should be fine.
