[Nhcoll-l] Large pelt storage - roll or drape?

[Hornsby, Angela]

Hello everyone,

I have a variety of large tanned pelts -- bighorn sheep, bear, horse, etc. -- that need storage upgrades on limited space.

Flat storage is not an option.  I can either roll them, or drape them over 4" PVC pipes (these are empty, so no fear or leaking).  I'm concerned that rolling would flatten or break the hairs, and that draping would stretch the pelts over time.

Is there a clear preference, or another option I'm not thinking of?  Thanks in advance!

Angela
