I store my fabric on comic boards. Instead of rolling my fabric from on the short side, I roll mine on the long side (end to end). I decided to store my fabric this way because I have five 18" deep x 48" wide x 84" tall shelving units that I set up where I can get to both sides of the shelves. Since the shelves are 18" deep, I can place fabric/boards on both sides of the racks. I purchased one extra shelf unit in order to get the extra racks (it was cheaper to purchase an entire unit than to purchase individual racks). Instead of having 5 racks to a unit, I have 6 racks to a unit. By turning my comic boards on their sides, I can store more fabric per unit. Yeah I know - I have a lot of fabric...
