We had a local metal worker construct a sort of prison bar arrangement out of steel tubing between some existing industrial shelving bays. It worked out very well, and wasn't too expensive given that he was custom building it for us. We were able to divide the bay into about 5 sections, something similar to the prefab art storage racks you see in the some catalogs. We were able to accommodate even very large headboards in this arrangement. Suzanne Buchanan Hingham Historical Society P.O.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone out there have a great method for storing large objects that cannot support themselves upright such as headboards, footboards, detached dresser mirrors, etc.? We are considering building an a structure in-house that would consist of a platform with uprights, somewhat like a painting cart on a large scale. If anyone has already solved this issue your input would be appreciated! Photos would be a big help too. Thanks!
