Abstract:
A method for supporting objects in a walled storage container where the container has a predetermined length, width and height, with the width less than the length, comprising the steps of:placing at least one file block in the container and positioning the file block so that the file block has a first surface abutting one of the objects and an opposing surface abutting a supporting surface comprising one of a wall of the container or another one of the objects in the container, wherein the at least one file block has six substantially quadrilateral walls at least one of which is of a different size than the other walls and the longest wall is shorter than the width of the container, the file block being selected of material sufficient to make each file block self supporting in all orientations so the file block can be placed in various orientations in two orthogonal planes during use with the orientation of the file block being selected to achieve the placing step, the walls defining an enclosed space with at least one of the walls configured to be opened so the enclosed space can store items.
