Customizing Your Wood Rack: 1. For Outdoor Use: Weather protection of your materials is achieved by creating a custom cover. Anchor a horizontal board the length of your material above the wood rack. Take sheet of vinyl or thick plastic and attach several thin wood battens to the inside with staples to keep it from flapping around. The batten at the top is used to screw it to the anchor board. Reinforcing strips can be glued in to avoid puncture from the horizontal rack bars. 2.
