    Festool guide rails

    I am looking for help in storing my festool guide rails. I am having trouble finding a good spot for my 118 inch rail in my shop. If you have pictures that would be great. Thanks

    Mine hangs from a hook on a wall. The roof is 12' tall in that corner of the shop. Do you have any tall wall in your shop?

    Ceiling racks such as - http://www.tboneracks.com/?gclid=CLn...FYOk4AodOUQAPw - or the like. These are great because they are open ended.

    They have holes in both ends. Hang it on two screws horizontally.

    I screwed the box that the rail came in ... to the underside ... of the top shelf of my lumber rack.
    Just slide-it-in.

    I have my long rail up on top of one of my wood storage racks so it's well supported but out of the way.

    I have mine in the shipping crate, lightly leaning against a wall in the corner of my garage.
