A plurality of vertical support members are mounted in spaced apart alignment on a horizontal rectangular base. A plurality of hoops are mounted between adjacent vertical support members for each removably receiving an upwardly opening cylindrical container having an annular lip. The hoops are positioned and oriented to arrange the containers in vertically spaced rows extending horizontally relative to the length of the base. Vertically adjacent rows are horizontally staggered relative to the width of the base, and the containers of each row are inclined from their normal freestanding positions away from the containers in an adjacent horizontally staggered row.

An apparatus for supporting a plurality of containers comprising: a horizontal rectangular open frame base defined by a pair of parallel side beams connected together at the ends thereof by means of a pair of parallel end beams; a plurality of vertically extending support members secured to and extending upward at least from the ends of the side beams of the base and defined by a pair of spaced apart elongated legs connected at the lower end thereof to the base and connected together at top thereof by a cross member extending generally parallel to the end beams; holding means defined by encircling open frame means connected in horizontal rows between the legs of adjacent support members above and at each side of the base and encircling the outer wall of cylindrical containers and removably holding a plurality of cylindrical containers in vertically spaced rows extending horizontally parallel to the side beams of the base, and the holding means and, hence, the containers of each row being disposed above and at least partially within the dimensions of said base and inclined from their normal freestanding position away from the containers in an adjacent row, wherein the rows of holding means on opposite sides are offset vertically and the containers at least partially overlap at the center of the base.
