So I just came upon a deal for 14 sheets of 3/4" birch ply.....cheap. It was a great deal, so I jumped on it...Now I have 14 sheets of plywood laying on my garage floor. :slap:

So.....what are your favorite methods of sheet good storage?
I'm tight on space, and my garage door track is 7' high, and 2'-6" off of the wall on either side, so I'd prefer to store it lengthwise.
Originally I was thinking of making a dual sided mobile sheetgood cart w/ an A-frame in the center for dim. lumber cutoffs. One side would be used for full sheets, one for partial sheets. The only issue I can think of for that approach is, "would I ever actually move the cart?" My garage is 22'x23', (w/ tools in it) so the idea of manuvering an 8' long x 3'(ish) cart isn't all that realistic...Unless I park the cart against "my half" of the garage door. I suppose having the mobility option and not needing it, would be a lot better than needing to move 1000# of sheet goods and not readily being able to....
Stationary storage would take up a healty chunk of wall space, and not really account for my growing collection of cutoffs/ partial sheets, but I can always park mobile tools in front, (bandsaw, DC, etc.) and move them out of the way when I need to grab a sheet.
So basicaly, I'm in brainstorming mode. I'd love to hear about your plans, ideas, lessons learned, component opinions, etc.
Thanks!
