We built a "cable housing tree" out of PVC pipes for recycled housing
I cant take a picture of it right now, but we cut PVC pipes to a small, medium, large and extra large size. We then taped off one end and then zip tied them vertically around a pole in our shop.
Now, we store the cables in the tubes, and It has saved us a lot of shelf space.
We keep the new cable housing in the box it came in, next to the cable boxes.
Cheers, Carolyn

We keep the rolls on shelves up against a partition wall. We put the roll on the shelf "backwards", so the housing comes out the back. The housing pokes through a hole in the wall, where the size is marked, there's a tape measure hanging, and a housing cutter.

Hey All, Over the years we've tried a variety of ways to store cable housing and we're still looking for the ideal solution. Anyone out there have a good way to store them?
