    Default Rod Storage


    I used to keep my rods in a PVC rack I built but with a baby coming I'm having to get creative.
    What better place than the ceiling of the garage above the door.
    Also as a bonus it has opened up more places to store them so more rods for me.
    I used 1x4s to mount at the handles with a 2" (if I remember correctly) hole saw to make the holes and joined them together with pocket holes, and 1-1/4" cup hooks in a 2x4 on the other side.
    The hip roof made it extremely difficult to get the tip boards at a good length away and my 5'6" poles barely fit but a 1-1/4 PVC Pipe with a 90° fitting will fit in the hole and help bridge the gap.

    Very creative and good craftsmanship.
    I don't have a garage door, but if I did I would pucker each time it opened and closed, as I imagined rods popping and cracking.

    Great job! I would only have one problem with that, my wife could come out and count how many rods I have!

    Good idea BUT, you are going to get very tired very quickly of having to be super-careful when sliding rods all the way through those holes (to keep from busting off your eyes). Do yourself a favor and cut a slot that goes 90 degrees to the right of each hole then turns straight down through the bottom. That will allow you to hook the rod tip in the front hook and just slide the rod butt up and over.
