The main issue with storage against wall was the need to have layout spaced off the wall when raising therfore as stated in post i use the hinged timber back that when layout is pulled forward it drops down which then inturn stops the whole layout from just sliding back against wall when it is raised I had put a lot of thought into this process as i need to be able to slide the layout against wall once lowered to allow room in front to stand.
There are 3 support legs along front of layout each fitted with fixed wheels to aid in the sliding in and out.
once raised pins are removed from base of legs and they swing in flush to bottom of layout.
I plan to sheet the base in with panel board and leave small removable panels for legs hatch and power access
this will be to the delight of wifey who currently thinks its ugly.
Please don't heasitate to ask any further questions.
Thanks..
