QuiltGuy Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I haven’t posted in quite a while but we just moved to the Tucson area and my storage situation is different. I have always stored my big rolls of batting standing on end. Here it would be better if I could store them on their sides on big garage shelves. However it seems like a really bad idea as one side would get compressed. Has anyone ever successfully done this or should I just scrap the idea?

Cagey Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Dave, Why not remove the shelves and install something like this with either a wood or aluminum rod so you can easily unroll the batting from the roll as needed. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-White-Heavy-Duty-Shelf-Bracket-and-Rod-Support-14317/206086899 You could also install this upside down, and put a bolt with a wing nut through the outer hole to hold the rod. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-18-in-x-16-in-White-Heavy-Duty-Shelf-Bracket-14835/202824731 I store my batting on the roll placed on the floor, with no issues. Best of luck to you coming up with a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Have you tried searching this forum? There have been many storage ideas throughout the years. Here's my favorite, easy to move and fairly cheap to make: dbams, BonnieJ, Gail O and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillRN1995 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks Connie for posting the picture of that batting holder. That's a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyp Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks, Connie. I have searched high and low and saved pictures in pinterest but haven't found one like the idea in my head. It isn't a real idea yet, just a germ of an idea. That is why I haven't gone forward with it. I want to go to Home Depot and see if I can find some way to attach a rod to the legs without drilling any holes. I keep thinking there is a way to do that. All I have to do is find it. If that fails, I will build one like you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
