Like most of us even the pro's end up with lumber supplies on the floor making for a trip hazard. My suggestion an it is one that I have encorporated into my shop is a 4x8 foot or larger platform (in my case it is made of steel angle iron and expanded wire mesh) suspended by the rafters/trusses or joists above and mounted at 6'8" above the floor and open to what ever is above. In my case the wire mesh allows me to observe the materials from below and the entire platform allows for storage of a wide variety of materials. In my case I made three of these (one for each corner of my garage that is available) for the storage of plywoods, soft and hardwood lumber storage areas. Give this a try there is no moisture from the floor to deal with and it is out of the way.
