Abstract
A storage system comprising an inner rod, an outer body, an upper foot, a lower foot, and a one or more pegs. Said outer body rotatably attaches to said inner rod. Said upper foot and said lower foot press against a ceiling and a ground surface. Said inner rod comprises a tension rod having a variable length. Said one or more pegs extend out from said outer body.
