I used 1 1/2 x 1/4 flat stock 18'' long and 5/8 rebar to make this wall mounted steel rack for small amounts of 20' lengths. I made 3 up and devided them up to span a 20' lenght. The top two are only 3.5" wide the 3rd down is 4.5" and the bottom is 6.5" wide. The steel I keep is only a few pieces of 1-2" angle, 1/2 - 1" sq, and 1 1/2 sq also some flat all in 20' lengths.
