Pretty cool Joe. Just not sure it would work with our radiant heater here in MIchigan.

If I had ceilings that high I would do the same thing, if I had to store a bunch of coroplast.
I thought you were retired.

Good idea Joe. I made a similar unit like yours except it was my paint easel. Easily held a 4 x 8 MDO panel. After lettering I could pull it up out of the way to dry. And still had plenty of floor space to work on other dust free projects, ie, backcoating, priming. On the plus side, paint dries quickly up near the roof, winter or summer.

That's a dandy idea Joe, adaptable to many applications.

this is my easel, to the left of the rack. it is folded down but can be set upon an angle. the small table in front of the paint is also on hinges, so it can be dropped flat to the wall.

When I first saw this I thought that it was a great idea if one had the ceiling height. Today while looking at my 10' ceiling, I realized that this could work in any height situation. And to think that all these years, I have been stacking my stuff against the wall!
Thanks OP. By the way, what do you use to crank this thing up and down, is that a boat trailer winch I see on the wall?
