The wife and I have begun to get an accumulation of scuba gear but have little place to store it. At first it sat in the corner as it was just a few items then it moved to a shelf in the Linen closet. Soon the self filled up. As we got the BCD's another shelf was cleared off and they were added them to the collection. I'm running out of shelves and have still a fair amount more to get (including Drysuits!).
I have now decided to turn to the more experienced and fully equipped for some guidance. I want to buy a storage system that will be able to handle 2 full sets of gear but I am kind of lost as to How much room I am going to require to hang 2 drysuits, shelve 2 BP/W systems, possibly contain 4 tanks, SMB, Weight belts, Spools and other Nikk-Knacks that we are sure to acquire as we progress.
We have been looking at simply getting an Ikea stand alone closet but I have my doubts that those will handle the weight or the moisture that will get inside as we would like to dry the suits inside the closet in order to add function to the system (with doors open and a drip pan below) also because we have no good place to hang 2 suits right now either.
I am hoping that I can get some ideas as to what has worked for others and products that have been used so I can piece together a system that will work for us without the frustrating trial and error phase.
I don't have a garage so unfortunately that is not an option for me :depressed:
