If I can do a cost analysis on building something I need vs. buying it, and the build version comes out cheaper, you can bet your ass I'm going to build it. Similar racks go for $80 on Amazon, and I build this for the cost of two pine boards @ $6 each. Super stoked on how it came out, and I built it to the dimensions of the space that it's going to live in.

horizontal pieces are 42", and the verticals are 32". Hole saw used was 1.5". Used a Kreg jig for the pocket screws. Maybe someday I'll put a coat of polyurethane on it for protection and aesthetic. For now, it's all about functionality! First pic is of the "Before" situation...

My system looks just like your before except I have two spots. One under the house for rods not being currently used, and a spot in the garage for the ones that will be going out on the next trip.

Great job on the rack. You've given me some inspiration for a weekend project.

Looks great. My rods are currently in a bundle just like your before pic.  I'm headed to Home Depot for some wood tonight! Should be able to whip it together in about an hour. Thanks for the post.
