The Marlboro sign and katanas are a classy touch

@Norseman (and all the other lumber-rack folk.)
Put some schedule 40 PVC on the horiz. bars and you can stack 3-4 wide, easy.
1.5" I think fits snug. (It's either 1.5 or 125, but pretty sure it's 1.5")
My five shelf one fits 25+ pairs. (As you can see in the pics, I'm also stacking a couple of pairs on each other, but even without that, I get more than 20 pairs.
As for grabbing a pair in the middle...
If you don't fill the whole thing full and have a few spots above/below, you can pull a pair or two off the "shelf" you want, put them on a different one, grab the pair at the middle/back and put the others back.
It also helps if you alternate tips/tails from shelf to shelf. Then you can slide the middle row skis past without the bindings blocking the skis from the shelf above/below

Recently got a 5 pack of the button hangers to try out and they're great. Mounted to an old Explosiv for extra style points.. Will probably get more and remount closer together to make better use of the space, but here's a shitty pic of the current setup. 😁

Yeah, but I don't have a router table any more and free handing it might be dicey. Not high on my spring/summer to do list but I'll figure something out.Quote:

Adding a rope through a padded pipe can either be added to the ceiling rack or simply used with ceiling hooks, eyebolts or lag screws, etc.

You could just hang pipes with rope. A pulley and boat cleat could be an add-on for raising and lowering.
Ideally, being able to place the skis on edges would help avoid water sitting on them and take the binding/ski weight off the camber.
One benefit of the dowels is they also work well for hanging ski poles along with other stuff like shovels and rakes.

I put a 2x2 on a shelf bracket and can put 7-8 pair of skis in small space, over a shelf in my garage. Store the cargo box the same way.

Anybody used the Gravity Grabber? Instagram served me an ad for it and the AMZ reviews are very positive. It seems a bit expensive but perhaps worth the cost?
A buddy of mine has them in his garage, he uses them for a mix of skis and snowboards. They work as advertised. He really likes them, but the price would add up quick if you have a lot of gear to hang.Quote:

I've been happy with the buttons but you either need to hit a stud, install some kind of horizontal board or use a really good/big toggle bolt. I had a couple pull out and skis hit a car.
As was mentioned before, best for Alpine binders. My Plum bindings work but only barely, they don't inspire confidence.
Also best if you use straps, and why wouldn't you
I have a similar system for brooms, rakes, shovels, etc. Pain in the ass to put stuff on the wall with only 1 hand.Quote:

I would buy them again if that helps.Quote:

I got this for $40 on sale but still worth it for $60. Holds plenty...

Soups has the right idea. I use two sets of these Grizzly Racks…and still have skis stacked in the corner. [emoji41]Quote:

This is the way for me, great purchase! Keeps the place tidy!Attachment 471868Quote:

Not much horizontal space in my apartment so had to look for vertical storage options - ski buttons just arrived today so I spent the evening mounting them on a 2x4 and then securing it to the wall.
Pretty happy with how they turned out and it helps make use of an awkwardly deep but narrow closet. Also quite a bit cheaper than gravity grabbers. So far no issues with binding toe compatibility and the skis are pretty stable. Would recommend!

If you’re reasonably handy and have a jigsaw I suspect you could build something quite similar without too much effort or cost - I think the folks on phil’s forum have done that
Edit - I see the phil already linked to it a few posts above

Bump. Any more cool racks? Will have a clean slate garage in 2-3 months and still tinkering with ideas.
These have worked well for me
StoreYourBoard Ski Storage Rack, Horizontal Wall Rack https://a.co/d/7tW3Qvy
Not sure I’d call them super rad, but cheap, doesn’t extend super far from the wall and works for those that aren’t into the diy lumber rack deal
Even easier to make buttons using a couple of hole saws and some 3/4" ply scraps....Pilot bit makes lining up the 2 pieces super easy.Quote:

Anyone tried?

Rigged this up in 2019, aircraft cabled vs gusset.
Old pic, definitely have more skis now [emoji106]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...53b45ecd1d.jpg

Hockey pucks work great, I used about inch of scrap PVC on the backside as a spacer.
