4ft boards... what should I build?

A friend gave me a ton of 4 ft boards. I’m trying to decide what I want to make with them… a new shed? A new mounting block? Shelves for the garage?

I think the lengths vary between 4ft and 7ft. Most of the wood is 4 ft long, 2 inch thick planks.

Well, what do you need?
How wide are they? 2" x ? x 4’?

2"x4"x4’.

You can never have too many garage shelves. I made some with some leftover 2x4 scraps and a 2x6 I had laying around.

They would make a nice little coop to jump and/or use as filler for a jump. That’s what I did with mine… with a 2X4 frame, slanted in both directions.

What do you need? I would build shelving or a pretty saddle stand. Maybe a small jump or two.

What wood are the boards? Cedar, pine, fir, oak?
Are they pressure treated?

I used a mix of different types of 2x4 cutoffs to build this stand for my anvil.

I always build jumps or fillers with my random pieces of wood. Or obstacles for the track for my horses.
