What to Use to Hang Large Amounts?

Getting ready to harvest the outdoor crop and need a good dry rack solution for large amounts (a couple pounds).

Currently I use an Ikea clothes rack to dry which works great but I need more storage going up and down not wide. I found a decent looking metal storage shelf at Home Depot for $75 with 5 levels to hang but was hoping for something cheaper.

I'm also open to building anything that works. Any ideas?

If you have wall to wall available, a scrog net or string works good. 2x2 on each wall, staple string across to hang branches.

Here’s a pic of my hanging rack. You could make the frame and mount it vertically. Not hard to attach two pieces of wood to the bottom so it won’t fall over. No holes in the walls. I used scrap wood, it’s like 2by 2 on two ends and 1 by 2 on the other two. I put two boards across the top to brace it, but you wouldn’t have to. I put 10 five foot lines up using 2inch drywall screws and decent twine. You probably wouldn’t get as many lines going vertically, bud length would limit how many lines you could run.

I pop a couple panels out of the suspended ceiling in the basement and hang them on the framework by a cutoff branch.

Depending on your room size, Shower Curtain Tension rods can be used anywhere as many as you need, with coathangers or by themselves. Or a roll of string and a stapler works...

Ha ha. Coat hangers and metal spring type paper clips. Hang from anything. And just bailing wire and said clips if a bit bigger.
