I have a pair of saw horses in the carport on which I store my sheets goods. Just lately though, any bits of timber have ended up on it, making it a pain to extract a sheet when I need one. It was also getting to he point where the total weight of the timber was too much for the overhead hoist to safely lift when the sheet I wanted was at the bottom (always).
I had some timber frames that came out of a friends old kitchen, they're 4"x2" pine with mortise and tenon joints at each corner. I cut four brackets from these and braced them with some bits of hardwood I removed during a major shed overhaul. These are glued and screwed together as shown and then fastened to the studs using coach bolts.
Apart from the hard work needed to drill the holes for the coach bolts, (those studs are hard!) the only other problem is that the carport slab is not level. I didn't notice this until I had all the brackets attached and the timber stacked . I've a spirit level app on the phone and it tells me that the brackets are all level but measuring from floor to bracket, there's a 120mm difference between the one on the left and the one of the right. :-
I'm going to see this every time I drive up the driveway and it will be really annoying.:((
