To minimize warp, laying plywood flat has to be the best. But the
cons are 4' x 8' of floorspace and more difficult to sort through 10
sheets. How much is any warp associated with an on-edge storage
system really going to effect the finished project? |

It needn't be floorspace; you can rack onto a hinged frame and winch
it up to the ceiling afterward. Be sure to have redundant fastening
before walking underneath...
Biggest problem is that, when cutting big sheets, the slight bow
makes it not lie flat on the table saw. Clamp-on guides and a
handheld circular saw work even with a bit of warp, but aren't
as accurate.
Me, I just buy the plywood and sheetrock in project-sized
quantities as needed. A few days storage on edge doesn't
hurt. The only wood there taking on a bow now, is scrap anyhow. |

If your plywood is supported by a frame, you don't need to worry as much
about warp. A table, for example, may have a 1x4 apron that supports 3/4"
plywood. Screws keep the plywood firmly secured to the 1x4s.

So generally speaking I need to stop my tendancy to hoard good-buys on
plywood ;-)
Maybe a compromise would be to incorporate 3 bandclamps with my
slightly out of vertical storage rack plans.
I only have 8' ceilings, and like another posted noted, flat storage
has a real disadvantage for sorting. I could possibly justify a 4' x
8' roll around cart, but part of my storage rack was to enable me to
store some hardwood pieces as well.
Clearly this is justfication for a 24' x 24' shop addition 
errr... but I'd need to include space for a sink, toilet, frig,
microwave, and bed -- and good plans for a fold-up bed !!! |

That's pretty much what I'm planning also. I will keep the mid
section of the A-frame open for some storage pretty much as shown.
Hey. You started a thread about a roof leak problem on your home over
on alt.home.repair, then when people were discussing your situation,
you disappeared. What's up with that? You seemed to lose interest
when you got an answer that was basically, "put a little roof snot on
it and don't worry about it". From your description I'm thinking you
might have a bigger issue than a single nail poking through a
shingle. Are you interested in a real diagnosis or just asking idle
questions? If it's the former, you should post some more detailed
pictures.
Sorry to hijack this thread, but you abandoned the other one and I
figured this would get your attention.
