>>Hi! For my first posting--Does anyone out there have any creative ideas for >>storing awkward, lengthy objects, such as ten-foot spears? The SPNHC book >>of storage solutions doesn't have an answer for this one . . . maybe you do? >> AT the Vancouver Museum we stand the long poles on their ends resting on ethafoam covered projections. The pieces are held perpendicular to the floor with loops of Tygon tubing ( don't use PVC tubing) to hold the things vertically. Every 3 feet or less has a flexible tube loop tieing the pole to a chicken wire door of a holding area where more tall things are stored. > Linda Tanaka Vancouver Museum British Columbia Canada [log in to unmask]
