   Stock Storage

   For the type of work I do I buy a bit of aluminum flat bar.  My last   
   order was a little over 900lbs of 12ft long bars, and I had another   
   600-700 lbs of full bars on hand plus shorts and cutoff.   
      
   The cutoffs I put on shelves, but the 12 footers I really haven't a   
   place for.  At the moment I've got the latest order outdoors leaning up   
   against a shipping container, and the rest of the older stock is leaning   
   up against shelves and walls inside the shop.  The inside of the   
   shipping container is lined with shelves being used to recover space in   
   the shop, and it's not setup for practical stock storage.   
      
   I hate it.   
      
   Of course I also buy a little bit of 20' aluminum pipe and tube.  That   
   is to long to lean up against anything inside the shop, but one problem   
   at a time.   
      
   If you have a storage solution for the standard (maybe only USA   
   standard) 12 foot stock flat bar I'd love to see it.  My shop has a 16ft   
   eave height so I can store it vertically anywhere inside that I have the   
   floor space, but I am trying to recover, not lose floor space right now.   
     I am even considering just storing it all outdoors.
