Have you ever made your cantilever rack for storing wood?
I wondered if a welded one, out of I beams would be safe enough.
Thanks a lot guys.
not yet satamax, but i have wanted to buildne for all my concrete form boards,, just have a big and long i beam on ground and then your upright on an angle back then your shelves , and the connect them togather with re rod on diagonal , so they dont fall over sodeways ,,,,,
You would have to keep up on painting it or it will stain your Tamarack that you mill. If you don't care about stain I don't know why it wouldn't work. Really depends on how big your I beam is and how much wood you want to stack.
Over here, most people use stuff like this.
Light ones have a 700 pound per arm rating. Heavy ones, the usual ones are 1 ton per arm.

Those racks are really nice, I would only be concerned if a homemade one didn't have the proper welds. Otherwise, I think they would work well.
Not sure if you would have the same options there but here a hardware store distribution center closed up last winter and I bought 20 sets of the racking you are talking about. 22' tall for $200 each.
