A garage or workshop can easily get cluttered by scrap wood which might be piled on a table or in a corner. If this is a problem, then you may want to build a lumber storage rack to make sure your shop or garage is clean and organized.

Finding suitable material for this project should not be a problem. However, you may need to cut some of the pieces based on the size that is needed. Another important detail is the tools that will be necessary to assemble the lumber storage rack you are building. The best option is to use secure the pieces by using a power drill.
You may want to sort the scrap wood that is available before starting the project. The pieces of wood to use may vary in type and dimensions. You might need to use various pieces in different areas to have the result for a custom lumber storage rack that is desired.
