rotb35 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Concrete wall. I have anchors and everything i just need the proper bracket to hold a ski up and not have it fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 I sell a custom wood bracket for my decorative skis. you can see it at my web site DBski.net. Cost is $40-50 depending on the wood. E-mail me at dbski2@comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 I use the cheapo bookshelf L angles covered with EVA foam for all of my watersports stuff. If I were going make something to go on a concrete wall, I probably build an entire stand alone unit and just anchor it to the wall. I would probably use 2 - 2x4's as a base and use my same method. If you just have one ski though, dbski's rack may look a whole lot nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotb35 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sorry jfw those book shelf L angles have no cosmetic value. DBski has teh design I was brainstorming, however wood clashes with the carbon fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 Np at all... I wasn't sure of your intent. My whole purpose was to get stuff off the floor with cost and function being way ahead of looks and fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 I can paint the brackets any color to match the carbon fiber or I could cut one out of plex. Another idea would be to use corian solid surface material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 we use these in my brothers garage http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202305548/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=ladder+rack&storeId=10051#.UHmF3q6D8_c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiJay Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 If presentation of your carbon skis is the goal, I know a guy who builds custom race car parts out of carbon. He'll build you a rack that looks like it belongs in Ferrari's Formula One pit and it will probably not cost any more than $15,000 ..... I used a dozen 12" long 1'' wooden dowels drilled and glued into two 2x6s anchored into the cinder block garage wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted October 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2012 For an easy rack, if you have basic welding skills, get an angle iron from menards, get some round bar or allthread. Weld the rod at the angle you want so that it displays the bottom of the ski. Finish the rack by slipping a large rubber or plastic washer over the rods down to the end, then slip rubber hose or heat shrink tubing of appropriate length over the rods. If you want the angle irons to look cool, paint them black, then take the mesh rubber drawer liner stuff from walmart, and use it as a mask to spray silver over the black. FInishe with clear and it looks like carbon fiber. Cover the rods with colored rubber for pizzaz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klindy Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 A 2-1/2" long powder actuated fastener should hold just about any ski I any wall. Wear ear plugs! ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
