Pledge: Vertical Wood Rack
Pledge opened: Sunday 30th March
Pledge leader: [Felix]
Introduction
The wood pile in the basement workshop seems to have a life of its own. It takes up a lot of room, and there are no proper guidelines to what should or should not go into the pile.
The idea is to install a wood rack, which makes better use of the space (ie use more of the vertical space) and keeps the wood more organised.
Budget estimation
We will need to get various bits of wood, some brackets, screws and rawl-plugs. All this will come to around £200.
The following pieces of wood will be required (together with costing from a quote for rough sawn timber from T&T Timber Merchants Ltd):
Dimensions | Lengths | Price (per length) |
Qty Rqd. |
Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
2"x6" | 3.6m | £9.85 | 11 | £108.37 |
2"x4" | 3m | £5.51 | 6 | £33.05 |
2"x2" | 3.6m | £3.34 | 2 | £6.67 |
£148.09 |
We could use 4"x2" for the uprights too, which would save us £30-40.
We need around 30 angle brackets cost which would cost around £20.
Specification
Will has put together a SketchUp model of our proposal using 6"x2" sawn timber for the uprights and 4"x2" timber for the arms, based on my earlier very rough design for the proposed location (i.e. where the woodpile is now, but with a smaller footprint). See the PL(A)YWOOD forum for further discussion.
