How are you storing your doors?

[rugbysecondrow]

First Summer with the doors off, they have been off since May, so the doors are stored in the garage, vertically. For me, I have them sitting on a yoga mat, in the corner, with a foam pad wrapped around them, but I keep hoping a better solution presents itself.

How are you all storing your doors? Wall, floor, vertical, flat...what are your DIY or retail solutions?

I built a couple of these carts to store mine. Works amazing so far! Made from 1" PVC pipe.

Mine are currently sitting in my hallway covered in only the finest Target linens. I need to build something.

@VelocityBronco How did you attach the PVC pipe assembly to the dolly?

Using a high strength, industrial grade adhesive rubber tape...

I thought about using some U-bolts, but I haven't got back to it, and the duct tape is solid.

I like this setup.

got the door bags, and they are just leaning against the wall in the garage.

Great DIY idea. Would you mind posting rough dimensions? And did you use 3/4" pvc? Anything you would do different?

This is what I built, posted by a member here. Can also add furniture dolly’s to the bottom for ease of moving them around

1" PVC.
I'd look for a larger dolley cart. This is all I could find at the time.
I think I went with 15" wide, 24" tall. I made a couple different widths for the door areas, but wider was easier to get the door in and out.

I might build a caddy like this for the wall. I like the idea of the PVC and padding, I just want them up off the floor, away from the kids. lol

Thanks. Super helpful.

I got the bags Ford sells, thinking I could use them to hang the doors on the walls of my garage, but now that I have them I’m not confident that the straps will last if I regularly hang the weight of the doors from them, and your cart design will be a neater way to store them

Agree, this is a great idea. I currently use my old Jeep door hangers with the bronco door bags and they work fine in the garage. If the bags ever appear to start ripping I'll go the pvc route but these hangers keep the doors out of the way.

Thats nice, I would really like to see both handles on that hook, but that hook doesn't look long enough to reach that 2nd handle.
I thought about doing this, but I don't have a big enough open wall area to hang all 4 doors in my garage.

Yeah, currently only hanging my front roof panels on them and I do use both handles for it most of the time. I have 3 hangers on my lower garage wall and 1 up high.

Currently don't have the doors off to demonstrate but maybe I'll take em off this weekend
