Suggestions Suggestions for holding 8ft wide Rolls

buy some sturdy metal pipe and have two wood brackets with holes attached to studs. For 8', you might even want to have a crossmember nailed to two studs on each end. cap one end of the pipe so it doesn't pull out.

 

yes they will dent over time. you'd really have to pad those brackets to prevent that. id say as long as you use some foam to pad them they should be okay. you may want to build a 3rd bracket in the middle to keep the rolls from sagging in the middle.

 

Agreed with JTBoh, the best way to store rolls outside of a core is on a ridged heavy duty pipe.
