With the boat, the bike, the gear, the parts, the tools, the cabinets, etc, I find I need a way to store my waterskis. Dad used to have them each set on a couple of dowels coming out of the wall. I dont have any walls left. So far, there are about 15 skis.

I wondering if anyone has a good idea on how I could suspend them from a finished sheet-rocked ceiling?

Ceiling ( Or Ski-Ling as my brother calls his: With yours you could put some eye bolts in and string some ski line.....

That wall rack is freakin awesome. I dont have ANY wall left but I'd sure like to know what he is using. I cant really tell in the photo

And your brother has coined a great phrase - I love it - I dont have the skis to warrant using the title though - He has one hell of a collection - ENVY

Ok, I looked more closely at the ski-ling - I'd also like to see how it works - are the tails resting on top of a beam? is that wood holding the front of the skis? I cant see how it is mounted.

Simple and effective - due to my limited space, lack of walls and the finished ceiling, this is probably how I will end up hanging mine

Thanks for the ideas
It will take me a couple months to have time to do anything so keep posting up any other ideas

Yeah, they are resting on the top plate... He has 4 rows just like the other pick ( 100 or so ski's) BTW i see you're in Clovis, He lives up in San Juan.. Frequents Bullards alot!

I had to make something on the wall for mine due to 3 banks of Flourescent lights being in the way.. I went to the depot and got some 1 inch PVC , had to brace the center of the run because of the weight..

Would you mind show us the build? I'm curious how it will come out and what the process is. Many people don't know this but I have some construction knowledge and find it fascinating. I also like Do It Yourself projects.

Dont know how much of a 'build' it will be but the last update with pvc sparked a couple thoughts
I'll let the ideas brew and evolve a bit while Im busy using the skis before i put them up
ive learned over the years that this process saves me time and money from having to do it several times as the idea gets better
short attention span doesnt help much either!
