Hi all,

I've been using a standard laundry drying rack for drying my equipment. Recently it hasn't been looking so hot- it's starting to list over to one side (see pic). I guess the weight of all the gear has finally taken its toll. Does anyone have a heavy-duty laundry drying rack they can recommend?

Get a HangAir for your wetsuit/drysuit. Hang it over a door with a big plastic storage tub beneath it to catch drips. Inside dries pretty quickly with the fan. Put a normal fan directed on the outside for quicker drying. I have a small place and this works well. I don't bother with a drying rack for the drysuit.
 
I wanted one of the racks that @tbone1004 has, but I'm also an apartment-dweller. I got a basic aluminum rolling closet rack from Bed Bath & Beyond. For $34.99, it can hold all of my gear provided that no weights are left in pockets.
 
I have an open shower stall in my utility room just for scuba gear. I installed a sturdy Steel rod across the center of the stall. I can hang two drysuits, wetsuits, other gear to dry. I have a regular desktop reciprocating fan on the shelf a few feet away to create some air movement for evaporation. This combo works really well to dry things out completely without a lot of hassle.

You can do this in any nearly any shower, so it's useful for apartment dwellers.

I packed a bar like that when I went to Ginnie Springs in early March. Worked better in the Hotel shower then I thought it would. It took almost no space in the Forester.
