If you want close up pictures Dave, I could get them for you tomorrow.

I would appreciate that 7, I will have to adapt somewhat as I only have about 85-90" of wall height.

Sorry for the delay. Since I came out of retirement I seem to have less time. Who'd a thunk?!

The horizontal members are actually dimensioned smaller than a 2x4. I did that to clean them up and make them square and consistent in size. They are 1-3/8" thick by 2-7/8" tall.
I have vertical spacing at 6" but of course space to your needs.
The vertical members are 3/4 ply with the spacer blocks in between. After I looked at them again I realized I screwed and glued those blocks.
They were a fair amount of work to put together, but certainly worth it to me.

They work well for storing large helicopters too.

Thanks, 7, it looks like the uprights are spaced away from the wall. Do the horizontal members extend through to meet the wall?

Yes, I do have the uprights spaced away by 3/4". Not sure if that is needed at all, but by doing it that way eliminates the need for me to cut all the horizontal members at an angle. On mine, the spacer blocks are all at a slight angle to prevent sag. That was enough work as it was and I did not want to have to angle the horizontal members too. This allows the horizontal pieces to slide through until they bump the wall allowing full contact with the support blocks.

Are you able to pull horizontal supports if needed for more space between layers?

Are you able to pull horizontal supports if needed for more space between layers?

Yes, absolutely. With my spacing blocks at 6" you could have any multiple of 6" for room between layers. The horizontal members just pull out and then can be moved without the use of fasteners, etc. 6 inches is just a random number I picked BTW.
