"She who must be obeyed" has said I need to tidy up the storage of my surf equipment. Looking for horizontal racks for an external wall. Found just what I wanted but it was a US company. Would rather my money stay local. Any suggestions?

I'm in the process of fitting out my new shed.

My first plan is to go the cheaper and creative route and modify some stuff from Bunnings, but if that gets too hard, to find the time then I'd go these:

I've bought products from Curve before (not racks) and I've always been impressed with the design and quality.

Free shipping to Australia makes it good value too.

I use stuff called key clamp it is used for hand railing. Its galvanized steel comes in a variety of sizes and loads of different fittings and super strong. I have made it so it all so can fold away when not needed. You can also add to it easily at any point if you need it. This rack often gets double loaded with 8 sup and windsurf boards when doing ding repair. I also have a free standing base that it also sits in if I need to use it else were... Cost - about 100GBP . Time to construct- about 20min.

Yep these are the go.
In the time that it takes you to think about the various different options, these would be on your doorstep.
I ordered mine on a Saturday and they turned up on Tuesday.
They are a well made, well finished product.
I reckon buying all the bits at retail prices from Bunnings would be no cheaper
SWMBO will also be pleased because you won't be spending all week in the garage.
A tip though - buy a rack with more capacity than the number of boards you currently have...
the "N+1" rule, where N=the number of boards you currently have

Found these guys www.boardrax.com.au when looking around for a similar solution, don't know what the quality is like but if you don't mind wood it might be worth a look. They do a horizontal free standing rack for up to 6 boards.

Had to clean up my mess too. Two pieces of pine, 5 broom handles cut in half, and the same amount of swimming noodles
chopped up. Hole sawed 10 holes, used some exterior wood glue and a hammer to assemble. Baton screwed the lot up under the house. The money i saved went on beer.

Yep...there's something very similar in my shed, and in a few garages and sheds around my neck of the woods.
