    Not bad for $129

    Unfortunately I need about 47 of those racks.

      Just make one. That's what I did. Worked like a charm and was maybe $20 for about 16' of wheel/tire storage.

        I just doubt myself making one, been there, never finished . No welder nor skills to use one just yet. But just curious, what did you make yours out of ? Got pics ?

          I did, and its too small. Holds 20 tires, which is about 15 too few. Also holds steel and has 4 shelves, all now full.



          8.5' high, 10' long, 30" deep



          I mean, we don't have a "Gary Hood" amount of tires, but there are many stacked on the ground and the rack is full. And I dunno the last time you bought steel, but $20 won't even buy you three 12' pieces of 1" square tubing anymore.

              I have been using a gorllia rack from either home despot or lowes, can't remember off hand. But it is an industrial strength shelf. I just didn't put the wood planks in and it turns out a tire fits into place just fine. It is floor standing like what Fair built however, so you can't tuck a car or something else under it like what Dean posted. I'll take a picture of the one I am using. For the 255-50-16 Toyos we run in CMC, I think I have 18 or 20 tires on it. I think it was $100 and took no building or modifying.

                    That setup looks really good! Looks like a fence pole - 8' is cheap and easy to cut with a sawzall and a heavy duty fence hinge plus some wood and chain and eyelets, excellent!

                      Exactly. Cheapy cheap cheap!! And supports a LOT of weight.

                        Dang NOAH, how many cubits of wood did that take to build? Throw in some chain, a barn door hinge, and a galvanized fence post... man, you are the Home Depot warrior! But yes, that's a very cost effective, homemade hanging rack.

                        The one Jeff mentioned was what I probably should have bought, but I needed some additional shelving and a steel rack, so I went the custom route (and burned at least 2 full days making this thing, painting it, making the shelves, getting the material, etc). I came very close to making it out of uni-strut and round steel conduit, but the costs of strut went through the roof so I just used square tubing and welded it up instead.

                        I've made several more tables and an office desk in a similar fashion since making the tire rack, and at least it is getting easier/faster/better looking.


                        These both have shelves and are very full now - and I need 2 more big ones!)


                        Just finished the office desk 2 nights ago. Needed more room for the multi-head LCD set-up and new pc. Ikea 1.25" thick butcher block hardwood counter-tops are cost effective, sturdy, and good looking. The thicker 1.75" stuff works great for work benches. The desk used six $5/each Ikea powder coated steel table legs and a 1" square steel tubing frame. Every office desk I found in the size I wanted was $$$ and/or made of particle board. This one was ~$150 in materials and ~4 hours of work fabbing it and finishing the wood.

                            Hey... that bearing press looks awful familiar! Probably still has some of my DNA on it (Never stick your finger near the press!).

                            not that kind of DNA you sick bastiges!

                              It looks even more familiar to me, seeing as how I gave that press to Brian M. for free a few years ago. I would have loved to keep it, but my 2 car garage is stuffed to the gills and I knew Brian could make good use of it.
