My husband and I have several banjos between us. I don’t like mine to collect dust so I keep them in a case. Rather large cases, a few Caltons and a Price. However I would really like a way to store them that isnt as stumbling blocks on my living room floor. Does anyone have a woodworking design for a case rack to hold four banjos or so? A commercial source for something like this would be fine as well.

Get an old couch. My banjos, in cases, live on an unused couch in the living room. That might not ork for a lot of people, but the couch makes a great “rack” for banjos. They are out of the way, yet easily accessible.

I have a sliding door closet in a spare room that I dedicate to my instruments (all in cases), but I do keep a uke and banjo (which ever ones are my current players) cased in the living room. I've thought about building a rack in the closet, but never have because they all seem to stand up just fine. With one exception, all of my banjos are in black hard shell cases, so I do label them on the end so I don't have to try and remember which banjo is in which case.

That being said, I do have a ukulele, tenor guitar and two banjos scattered around the living room right now!

Careful! Unattended banjo, especially if set too close to one another, tend to, uh, "proliferate." banjered

I have one of these:
stringswing.com/cc29-guitar-case-rack/

Currently it is holding two dreadnought guitars, two banjos, and a mandolin. All in hardshell cases. It would take four banjos in their cases with no problem. The design would be pretty easy to copy. But honestly the price was not bad.

I concur.  The String Swing case rack is the way to go!
