Beast's Twin Lakes project - IMG

[Dee]

We have all, at one time or another, come out of the water and set our wet gear on one of the picnic tables. That's fine if there are plenty of tables but as busy as it gets, it's not always possible. So Beast came up with a solution....gear racks. Double sided, this one will hold 8 tanks and gear. At 34" tall, you can just back up to one, set your tank down and slip out of it. Short bungie cords will wrap around the tank valve or the first stage to secure your BC and tank. This will also keep not only the tables drier but the ground around them, too.

Here are a few photos....

If this one works out, we want to build several to place around the lake. What do ya'll think?

Way to go Beast. I think that will work well around the lake
and serve a great purpose. Thanks for always improving
Twin Lakes. You both always go that extra mile to make
us Southern Swampers happy divers.

The pics look like the seat part of the rack is ~20" off the ground, at least the one where Beast is sitting on it.
I really like the tables at Aquarena - because they're about 40"+ high - so you can literally walk over to your setup assembled on the table and back into it. If it's not too unstable, making your design a little higher will make it really convienient for tanks - and not so convienient for sitters!

Cool profile picture! I mentioned in the original post the bench is 34" tall...well, that was before the boards so make that about 35.5" tall. You have to remember how tall Beasts legs are! He and Homey tested it out today at the lake. It's just perfect to back up to and set your tank down. We still have some tweaking to do with the bungie things but Homey and Tony both had some good ideas to try. No telling what the next one will be like!

Nice Idea... if you don't mind, I think I'll suggest that to a couple of places around here!

Good Job!
