How Do You Make A Wood Saddle Rack?
A good saddle rack, made of wood, can make an attractive alternative to the metal tube rack that are sold at feed stores and horse tack suppliers. • Measure the length of the saddle for which you are making the rack. • Using 2×12 boards, cut two boards the length of the saddle for the top. • Cut two more boards for the height of the rack you would like to make it. • Cut these two boards on one end at about 30 degrees to angle the top boards so that the saddle may rest comfortably. I cut an angle about three (3) inches lower on the edges. Each board should look like a point. • Nail or screw these two standing boards to the top two boards. • Cut a board using the length of the saddle minus twice the width of the board for the center support. (i.e. if the saddle length is 30 inches, cut the center support board 27 inches. Since 2×4’s are actually 1 1/2 inches wide, twice is 3 inches; therefore, subtract 3 from 30.) • Eat Lunch • Nail or screw the support board between the two standing boa
