Could you post a picture of the clothes drying rack in action? I can't figure out how it would work to dry paintings (canvases). Thanks!

Re: Painting Storage Issue

Here are some pictures of the rack we made to store smaller panels up to 11x14. I hung it in an out of the way area and had a hard time taking a picture of it. Anyway I hope that these pictures help someone make their own panel rack.

You're welcome on a wall is takes up very little space. I think the board is a little less then 8 inches wide.

Re: Painting Storage Issue

Hi, does anyone have any plans/ideas for a drying rack that I can fit in my car to travel with for holidays?
