An assembly for storing elongated members, the assembly comprising an elongated support element and a pair of segments. The segments are disposed on opposite sides of the elongated support element from each other, and each of the segments defines a cradle for supporting an elongated member. The pair of segments is joined together at a seam formed by locally heating and melting contacting edges of the segments to fuse them together. Moreover, the pair of segments is fixed to the elongated support element against movement in a longitudinal direction of the elongated support element. The elongated support element has a textured region of raised protrusions, indentations, or holes, over at least a portion of the surface thereof. Each cradle comprises a center portion located longitudinally between a pair of inclined portions. When an elongated member is supported in the cradle, the center portion of the cradle is convex about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated support element, such that water will drain laterally off of the cradle.

Un assemblage pour l'entreposage de pièces allongées comprenant un élément de support allongé et une paire de segments. Les segments sont disposés sur les côtés opposés de l'élément de support allongé, et chaque segment définit un berceau pour soutenir une pièce allongée. La paire de segments est jointe à une couture créée en chauffant et fusionnant localement les bords de contact des segments pour les fusionner. Par ailleurs, la paire de segments est fixée à l'élément de support allongé contre le mouvement dans une direction longitudinale de l'élément de support allongé. L'élément de soutien allongé a une zone texturée de protubérances, d'encoches ou de trous, répartis sur au moins une portion de la surface de celle-ci. Chaque berceau comporte une portion centrale située longitudinalement entre une paire de portions inclinées. Lorsqu'une pièce allongée est soutenue par le berceau, la portion centrale du berceau est convexe sur un axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de l'élément de support allongé, de sorte que l'eau s'écoulera latéralement hors du berceau.
