In bed snowboard rack

[GMTmin5]

Anyone have a solution to store snowboards in the bed? Last season I just threw them in there but they tend to slide around and get dinged up. One problem is my board needs to fit diagonally and I need to something to hold 3 boards and a pair of skis. Any ideas?

First thought was to use something like this somehow mounted to the bed floor

Assuming you don't want a bed rack? Otherwise any kind of bed rack with crossbars would allow any of the available snowboard racks to mount over the bed

I'm assuming you want them covered and protected from theft/elements?
Otherwise I would use this type of setup.

I use ski bags to keep the skis from moving around and getting dinged up. There are lots of snowboard bags to choose from on Amazon from $30 on up.

With the bed liner they don't move much.

Looking to keep everything under the tonneau since the boards live in the truck all winter, typically.

Are those bags ok for wet gear or will they get nasty pretty quick?

what about a cargo net suspended mid way.
The bindings will catch the loops and keep them from sliding around, they'll be off the floor and keep dry as well as all the snow falls off.

You'll want to dry the bags out. Long term moisture contact with the board will rust the edges.

After skiing I usually toss the skis in the back and they are mostly dry by the time I bag them up. They do have a couple rust spots from the ski edges but overall stay pretty good.

I like this idea.

If it we're sized appropriately to stay taught it should work out well.

Or a wood rack as the OP mentioned.

Either a modified wall rack or homemade.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try the cargo net and see what happens. Hopefully it can be installed tight enough that the boards don't bounce up into the tonneau. Also ordered a couple bags. Between the two solutions, hopefully I'll be good to go this winter.

TBD on whether this is going to work. Using the bag will certainly help since the net is still a little bouncy. Might need to bungee the board to the net or something.

Update on this. I ended up buying a roof rack and attaching it to some extra slat wall I had laying around. Now the boards are secure and if I need extra space in the bed, I can put mine diagonally on the net and turn the rack parallel w the bed.
