Retractable utility rack

A method for providing storage of one or more saddles on a storage rack, comprising:

• mounting a wall mount to a substantially vertical wall;
• removably and pivotably coupling a storage bed to the wall mount, the storage bed including at least one leg rotatably coupled thereto;
• rotating the storage bed relative to the wall mount about a substantially horizontal axis to position the storage bed in a substantially horizontal orientation;
• extending the at least one leg to contact a ground surface adjacent the substantially vertical wall;
• fixing a position of the at least one leg relative to the storage bed to enable the leg to support the storage bed in the substantially horizontal orientation;
• wherein removably and pivotably coupling the storage bed to the wall mount comprises installing a pin through receiving structure in each of the storage bed and the wall mount and positioning the pin such that the pin cannot be removed from the storage bed and the wall mount when the storage bed is in the horizontal position;
• and
• padlocking the storage bed and the wall mount one to another while the storage bed is in the horizontal position.

A saddle rack system, comprising:

• a plurality of wall mounts, each mountable to a generally vertical structure;
• a storage bed, removably and pivotally coupleable to any of the wall mounts, the storage bed including at least two components that are adjustable relative to one another to adjust a length of the storage bed;
• at least one leg, pivotally coupled to the storage bed, the at least one leg being adjustable in length to allow a height or a grade of the storage bed to be adjusted;
• and
• at least one locking key, removably coupleable with the storage bed, the at least one locking key being coupleable to the storage bed to lock the at least one leg in a downwardly extending orientation, and coupleable to the storage bed to lock the at least one leg in a rotated position, nestable against the storage bed.
