    You got a lot done! :) Look's like they will last for a long time and keep your wood nicely up off the ground.

    Good work Shurdel. I hope those racks work out as good as they appear they will.

    Looks great man. Looks like you might have a similar issue to me - my stacking are gets pretty we so I need to keep it a little higher off the ground and it's on a slope. I ended up using landscaping rock that was all over this place and pallets, but when that wood is used I'm going two pallets high shimmed on one side. Really looks nice!

    I like your double rack set-up. BogyDave does a lot of those too. I've been hooked for a while. Gonna do the same here, next stacks.

    Thanks everyone. This is the third set that I've built and each one I've improved the design a little more each time. This last set turned out pretty good and sturdy.

    We think alike, my racks are similar to yours.
    Nice work!
