I'm bumping this thread because I'm hoping to do this as soon as I get my garage cleaned out a bit. Great DIY, wheee!

Wow lol. It's been a while...

Is the rack still holding strong?

Rack is in my new shop and has been awesome. Bought a Cdn Tire version to go with it and store the wife's tires on that one. In comparison, mine is way more robust and in my opinion, sturdier. I'll get a pic of them in my shop when I get home. I'm currently deployed on course and exercise till November.

I've been looking at some locally and online in recent months. I found some for about $50 but they are super thin tube steel and barely have any load rating. The actual robust ones are like triple that price and still don't seem very sturdy (at least compared to yours). DIY FTW :tup:

The one I bought is sliding tube steel and is flimsy. I use it for the small car tires off the wife's car. I think I paid $75 on sale but I agree, angle iron for the win.

how much are you in on this?

they sell these online for $100

ive had 2 for years now no problems

nice job, if U R really Type A the tires should be in black garbage bags, then rotated every few months so no flat spots occur

I'd be curious on the material cost as well.

The e-bay one looks good, but that is $190 Canadian after exchange, shipping and duty.

My homebuilt version cost about $20 to build with angle iron I had laying about.
If you read the thread, you will see there are no flat spots due to the cupping of the tires by the angle iron.
Bagging is a good idea but a good detailing in the spring will also work :tup:

Here's a wooden option that can be tucked away unobstrusively.

that 2x4 is bowing down, double up on the 2x4 or use 4x4,,,carpenter 30 years, not a welder

Wood option will work too, make sure it's strong!
My option allows me to mount it and remount it anywhere. :tup:
