I used 2x3 boards for uprights and base, and a 2x4 for the top horizontal piece.

Then gathered pallet wood and other spare wood i had in my wood junk yard.

Lastly i bought some small baseboards (i think 3/8" x 1-1/2" (2) pieces 7' long each

I built the frame and screwed it to the rafters in my garage. I can also be screwed to studs

I chose not to mount or screw the horizontal boards to anything, and decided to leave them floating on the wall. So secured them using vertical "stop plates" on each side.
