media wall rack, suggestions?

[jaylem]

I will be installing a media wall rack, 54" wide,in the next couple weeks. What have you found that works the best?

are you asking how to mount one you bought or building your own?

If your building your own i would just grab some 2x6's slot some angled holes and mount them to the wall. Grab some lightweight pipe from your local hardware store and slide your rolls in.

Make sure you have the plastic inserts in the ends. I have read if it is just the pipe, the weight of the roll will deform the core, causing problems printing.

We've never found that to be the case.

Yeah, the slotted 2 x 6 is a simple plan to execute but I was looking for something more like this:

really cool latch system on each end that looks a lot better than a long piece of pipe

That does look like a cool system! I'm gonna guess it's also EXTREMLY expensive! I was looking at another system that wasn`t nearly as elaborate and it worked out to be almost $200 per roll when you were all said and done.
