Building a SCUBA Gear Storage System

[riguerin]

I'm finally going to get off my lazy @$$ and finish my garage organizer/storage project.

I've got one more wall to go that will be dedicated to sports equipment. I'm going to provision an area roughly 6 ft wide X 8.5 ft high X 2 ft deep for SCUBA gear. I need to squeeze in 3 full sets of gear, 3 large roller bags, 4 tanks, and hang about 10 various exposure suits (most are used for other water sports ;-)

I'd certainly appreciate any ideas/recommendations for SCUBA gear storage solutions ? Feel free to post some pics of your system, if possible. Looking forward to suggestions.

Thanks,
Rick

A toughie I have a 4' x 2' hanging/drying area, 4' x 1-1/4" wood rod suspended from the joists above it, with a small drip basin below The drip basin is just 1x2 firring strips on the sides, 3/8" 2' x 4' plywood bed on a couple of pieces of 2x4, piece of blue poly glued in. It's in the basement, with a dhumidifier, so it just has to catch the dripping until it evaporates.
Then I put in a plastic general storage shelf unit, one of those things with circular legs where the parts just stack together. 18"D x 3'W x 6'+ H, 5 shelf, decent weight capacity.

Mark,

Thanks for the input. I'm starting to look at doing something with the ClosetMaid MaxLoad system I saw at Lowes.
