I have accumulated several thousand board feet of hardwood lumber. In my driveway under cheap tarps. (Yes, it looks like the Beverly Hillbillies live here)
I have gotten one of those metal carport type buildings and built it behind my storage shed. Basically a sheet metal tent 12' wide and 20 feet long. I want to put my lumber and some new green lumber I am having sawed in the shed to keep it dry and to allow better access. I have acquired some pallets that are 4' by 8' and was planning to store the lumber on them but I am thinking there must be a better way.
I looked up Lumber Racks on YouTube and Google and most of then are the kind that cantilevers the arms and allows you to put the boards in from the sides. Don't think my building is sturdy enough for that.
Does anyone have ideas for lumber racks that will allow for better access?

Probably right that cantilevered brackets attached to the carport would be too much for it, but couldn't you just make a framed shelving system supported by the ground, perhaps even using some of the lumber you are storing to construct them?
I'll help make them, if you can convince Ellie Mae to help me.

#38' x 10' truncated A-Frames out of 2x4 would be my choice. You'll need to double-gusset the top corners, 2 longitudinals top and bottom, and cross-members at 2' intervals. Cheap Borg 2x and easy to move when empty (wishing you life long enough to ever empty them 
)

+1 on this. Let the cross members stick out on both sides, too.
