Abstract: A dunnage assembly has a plurality of dunnage sections removably attached to each other and includes a forwardmost dunnage section and an aftmost dunnage section. The forwardmost dunnage section has the longest length and the aftmost dunnage section has the shortest length. Each dunnage section has a plurality of tubes and a plurality of tube collars that support the tubes such that the tubes are substantially parallel to each other. Each tube of each dunnage section has an interior region sized to receive a longitudinally extending item and is substantially coaxially aligned with a tube of an adjacent dunnage section. Each tube collar has a plurality of thru-holes therein where each thru-hole is sized to receive a portion of a tube. Each dunnage section includes a tube collar removably attached to a tube collar of an adjacent dunnage section.
