Folding Lumber Racks

Build two folding lumber racks from one sheet of plywood—ideal for organizing and storing boards, then folding away to save shop space.

Maximize your shop space with these folding lumber racks—built from just one sheet of plywood. Perfect for organizing boards, sheet goods, and offcuts, these sturdy racks feature multiple levels and a notched base to keep your materials sorted and easy to access. When your project is done, simply fold them up and tuck them away for compact storage. Whether you’re working in a small garage or a larger shop, these space-saving racks are a smart solution.

The build is quick and beginner-friendly, using basic tools and off-the-shelf hardware. With simple butt hinges and smart design, each rack folds flat but opens wide to provide solid support for your lumber. The step-by-step plan includes full-size patterns, clear illustrations, and tips for getting clean cuts with a jigsaw. Make both racks in a weekend using a single sheet of ¾" plywood and get organized for your next big project.
