a) wood is not as cheap as you think
b) its a lot of work

A 2x4 and plywood rack the size of two Gorilla racks side by side would
cost about 80 dollars in wood and nails and brackets.

It will cost you about 6 hours worth of time to saw the wood and nail it
together if you are not an experienceed carpenter.

It will weigh a lot and will be a bitch to tear down if you ever wanted to
move it somewhere else.

I know all this from experience. Its better to buy Gorilla racks.
