An almost trivial wood storage tip

[9fingers]

If like me your storage of useful offcuts and part sheets of ply etc end up leaning near upright against a spare bit wall, you possibly get to the point where it starts sliding and once less than about 60 degrees there is a progressive collapse.
I just had a tidy up and the idea came to me to screw a batten on the floor parallel to the wall. Now the sliding will be stopped by the batten.

Trivial but its very effective and easily moved/removed when needed.

I've carried your idea a little further Bob, the strip on the floor works for me in my timber store/ garden shed but the important bit is the angled piece of timber that allows me to sort through the full size sheets without the risk of being crushed! It's recessed into the flooring and screwed to the roof.

Genius! Just what I need to stop my shooting board etc from sliding from the vertical to horizontal position. When it/they do decide to lie flat 'tis beyond irksome :evil: - Rob

I had the same problem but I just stand similar bits in shallow cardboard boxes. Each box is weighed down enough that it can't slide on the tiled floor.

I also have a couple of bottle boxes for all those slender offcuts resulting from ripping to width.
