I remember seeing an ad for an "A Frame" bat rack that would hold 36 bats - was a LVS repro. Very cool, and very expensive unfortunately.

Does anyone know of similar racks at a lesser price or know of design to build one?

While we are at it, lets see some bat display pics!

Thanks in advance

Mine's not really a rack, because it is in the wall, not on it

pick these up at Home Depot. They hold 11 bats each. This picture is old, now I have the top row completed all the way down the hall on the other side as well and am putting up the bottom row this weekend.

They are hard to find and when you ask most people about them who work their they look at you like your asking for the local alien base. Last time I found them they were in the garage section and I saved the packaging.

They are called Everbilt All Natural Wood Tool Rack.

the part number is 942051 and the UPC is 030699011674

I got the idea from Stan Marks when I went to visit him at his house.

I've searched aproximately 15 Home Depots for these illusive tool racks to no avail. I found a guy on EBAY who makes them custom...they are awesome. I'll try to post some pics soon. I'll also try to find his e-mail...EXCELLENT quality work.

Sorry that this has taken so long. The guys name is William Runkle and his e-mail is wgr0910@msn.com

I highly recommend his work. He custom made(I told him how many bats I wanted in one rack) some bat racks for me and they are awesome.

He does very good work.

I'm in the market for a custom horizontal rack - along the lines of an A-fram rack but something that will hug the wall and display on 1 side only.

If you have any recommendations on where to look (possibly the source noted above?) please let me know.

I bought one of those eBay bat cases on a whim and it was MUCH nicer than I thought it would be. If you search for "6 Baseball Bat Display Case" you'll see them. The seller has been on there for years. Not bad for like $120 bucks shipped.

End result:

More of a case than a rack, but as mentioned elsewhere, Homeplate Heroes does a tremendous job with the UV protection, lock and key, and ability to hand pick different felt and wood colors. They also allow customizations of all kinds. They maintain they work with real pro athletes to preserve their own collections. Prices may be high on the surface, but almost always marked up some and able to be negoiated.
