Scott;

I'm no expert, but I used the same system that was mentioned previously.  I
think Woodsmith had some plans about it, but very easily and cheap.  Couldn't
find the exact plan, but it's shown here:  http://www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/5-easy-to-build-plywood-
projects/">http://www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/5-easy-to-build-plywood-
projects/


But you know about all the sorts of lumber racks, however, my only suggestion
is, is it possible for you to add on a "lean-to" on a garage/shop area?  If you
can, at least get a roof over it (and sides), and maybe even doors.  If so, I
used that before also in one place I lived.  I eventually added a fan at one end
and just left it on to get air movement.

I made some simple lumber rack brackets that have held the test of time through
tremendous loading.  Easy, strong and very cheap.
   It uses only 1 bolt through the wall stud.
Its 2 skins of 1/2 in plywood and 2 short 2X4 blocks as spacers.
  You set the rear block to fit the wall stud and the little block on the end
just keeps everything together.
