How to Make a Wooden Saddle Rack
A nice wooden saddle rack comes in handy for storage when you are not riding your horse. The saddle rack is fairly easy to make and can be done in less than an hour. It is also durable and long-lasting with the ability to hold multiple saddles.
Things you will need:
- Two-by-twelve inch boards
- Two-by-four inch boards
- Sandpaper
- Hammer
- Nails
- Nail the boards together. Place the two-by-twelve inch board in the upright position so that it stands 3 feet tall. Next, place a 1-foot board down the bottom edge of the main board. If you have done this correctly, the 2-inch width of the board should touch the floor and the 4-inch width should be up against the other board. Nail the sides together and do the same process for the other board. This will serve as the support base for the saddle and keep it from wobbling.
- Position the boards 3 feet away from each other. Make a line at the top edge of each board directly in the middle. Next, put one of the two-by-four inch boards in the middle of the two side boards. Make sure to keep the edges equal with each other. Secure them with nails.
- Make a line going down the main boards. Make this line about 6 inches on the sides of the main boards. Position another two-by-four in the upright position and lay it against the side of the main board. Make sure that both sides are equal. Secure them with screws. Connect the support base to the other main board.
- Repeat the above process with the remaining two-by-four. Sand the entire saddle rack to avoid splinters.
