I finally got my lumber rack finished today and partially loaded. Here's a few pics. The first one is the upper attachment point. I cut the 4x4 on a 10 degree angle and drilled holes to accept 1/2" lag bolts.

Then on the bottom I cut it at 90 degrees and set them on another 4x4 to support the rack.

I used 3/4" black pipe and drilled into the 4x4's 3" to seat them . I put 5 rows on each post and placed post every 2 feet. I figure it should hold somewhere around 1000 board feet of lumber.
