Baller Dysco Posted January 20, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 20, 2021 Having accumulated a few skis, and having a couple that I will use interchangeably depending on the conditions or my mood, I was thinking about wall or ceiling storage ideas that allows them to be out of the way. Easy to access AND/OR possibly a method of display in the garage or shed other than on a shelf for example, or maybe even your home. If you've got something or made something ingenious and beautiful, or very simple and effective, share a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2021 I just finished this. I used ladder hooks that are screwed into the studs in my wall. Have some additional hooks on the bottom for a wakeboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2021 @lpskier - kids and wakeboards. I will wakeskate because you aren’t attached to the board. I also see some surfboards.... Will be great to see more ideas. Anyone have something on their boat dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dysco Posted January 21, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2021 Some good pics and ideas there. Keep 'em coming. Liking that rocker rack for practicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2021 @Dysco the Rocker Rack holds anything too, Slalom and Trick. I didn’t have a set of Jumpers to try. Notice the pic where I stuck a kneeboard in there. Held it, no issue, so I’m sure wakeboards, skates, and surfers would all fit too. Peter, the guy that builds them is a great guy. He worked with me over multiple iterations of lengths and widths to get them just right for water skis. Oh yeah, you can mount them on a piling/pole for easy storage and space savings. I’ll post a pic. I’m just getting my boathouse built, so all my pics are from the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted January 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2021 Super simple and versatile. 2X2 and dowels and button caps. Can make as tall as needed or if you have a long wall do several side by side. Easy. Wife insisted on painting them the same as the laundry room cabinets. The button caps on the end of the dowels help with keeping hangars from sliding off the ends of the dowels when weighted with multiple hangars. Can install inside or boat house or garage - super easy. Under $15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cougfan Posted January 22, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 22, 2021 Here is what I use in my boat garage. 1/2” pvc pipe holds the skis and wakeboards. I put up 2 dowels for hanging vests wetsuits and gloves and have a fan pointed in there direction to help dry them. Also mounted a pulley system in the ceiling to hold the tower when not on the boat which is 99% of the time. Also a couple of pvc pipes to hang up the ropes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dysco Posted January 24, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 24, 2021 @mfjaegersr nice to see some indoor ideas too. It's a long off season in WI. Displays can keep the monotony away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Slalom.Steve Posted January 27, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted January 27, 2021 I am happy to "hold onto" anyone's hi-end spare skis during the summer - my "storage locker" fits 66" size just about right. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skialex Posted January 29, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2021 @cougfan it seems like it but most of them belong to fellow skiers that leave their old skis to me to sell them. Who ever wants a used ski asks me first... like a very localized sia. I do however have a collection of skis, some rare and some that meant something to me. Such as a wooden reflex, a carbon works, a Warp and some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dysco Posted January 29, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 29, 2021 @skialex , yeah, that's a real shite hole! ? 1st world problems eh? Very nice set up and organizing! My only suggestion might be to make a couple hanging holsters for your drills/impact at your charging area. That would free up shelf space above. I used a couple of pieces of 4" pvc and they work great. Oh, and magnetic tool holders strips are really sweet for hand tools if you have any interest.

Baller mfjaegersr Posted January 30, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Dysco Since it’s your thread, and you went there...? Wall mounted battery chargers; and you could adapt these custom bars to wall mount tools as well. They leverage the tool’s belt hook. Don’t forget 3D printed battery holders - sweet. (Amazon finds!)

Baller Dysco Posted June 21, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted June 21, 2021 I'm going to add a new post to this thread. I got a Rocker Rack for my slaloms. Contact them directly to order as the snow ski/snowboard version are all that is currently on Amazon etc. Let Peter know you want the waterski version. He's a great guy and wants feedback to perfect the product ( it's about perfect as is and absolutely worth buying). I finally hung some shelving and decided the Rocker Rack would fit perfect at the end of it. In a couple pics I have my ski skin on as well, I just slightly widened the arms. Works perfectly and gives my skis a out of the way, and safe place to hang out. I really like the vertical storage vs horizontal. Very happy.

Baller Dano Posted March 26, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 26, 2023 Just built this rack for my garage. It’s just some 1/2 inch plywood I had left over from a flooring project. About half an hour with a jigsaw and an hour painting. Got a welcome Matt from the dollar store and cut into 1/2” strips to give my skis a nice soft non marking surface to rest on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
