I just moved and i am going to build a new wall in the garage. The only problem is that a lot of it is going to be roof. What is the best deal on roof jugs because they are really expensive. Thanks.

I myself like the holes cut into plywood. Shape them how you want, cut them, sand them really smooth, and you've got some really really cheap holds. Problem is that they're permanent. On the vertical wall of my house I have squares of 2x6 that work great. I hacked out a groove along one edge with a machete and nailed them to the wall, groove side in so there's a bit of a hollow behind one edge about a pad-and-a-half deep. This may work for you, but I dunno, cause I've never tried it on overhanging stuff. Use screws if you do try. Good luck. :)

Edit: You also might try sandwitching a piece of half-inch plywood between a 2x6 and the wall. This would give more strength to the 2x6 because the weight-bearing part would be thicker. Something to think about. :)
