Things You'll Need:
- Seven 5-foot long 2-by-4-inch boards
- Four 2-foot long 2-by-4-inch boards
- Hammer
- Nails
-
Step 1
Set two 5-foot-long boards down of the ground, spacing them 2 feet apart with the broad sides facing one another. Align a 2-foot board over the two boards. Position the 2-foot board so it rests over the ends of the 5-foot boards. Nail two nails through the 2-foot board and down into the 5-foot boards at each end.
-
Step 2
Set another 2-foot board along the other bottom edges of the 5-foot boards to enclose the rectangle. Attach by using two nails at each end.
-
Step 3
Build a second rectangular frame using two more 5-foot and 2-foot boards. The two frames will be the sides of the wood rack.
-
Step 4
Prop the frames up to run vertically, spacing them 5 feet away from one another. Have someone help hold the frames. Set a 5-foot board down on the ground to be the base of the frame. Place the broadside of the board against the frames, making the end of the new board and the outer edge of the frame flush. Nail through the base board and into the frames with two nails at each end.
-
Step 5
Repeat step four to add a 5-foot base board to the other side of the frames.
-
Step 6
Determine which side of the wood storage rack will be the back. Along the back, align the last 5-foot board to run across the top of the frames just as the baseboards run along the bottom. Have someone help hold the board while you attach it to the frames.
-
Step 7
Set the rack in an area that is convenient for loading the rack and near enough to your home that bringing wood into the house in the cold isn't a chore.
