I've just about got my lumber storage addition complete on the back side of my shop. My plan is to put a lumber rack attached to the studs on the outside wall. I'm going to make it out of 2x4s with the horizontal part half-lapped to the vertical piece and attached to the stud, each stud getting one.
My question is:
1) Should I use 3" lag bolts or a regular nut/bolt to attach the vertical piece to the stud? I'm planning on putting a single bolt top, bottom and centered between each shelf for a total of 6 bolts per stud.
Thanks for the help.

"73 is the best number because it's the 21st prime number, and it's mirror 37 is the 12th prime number, whose mirror 21 is the product of 7 times 3. Also in binary 73 is 1001001, which is a palindrome." - Nobel Laureate, Dr. Sheldon Cooper
