Help! My house is being submerged in scuba equipment!

[skippy311]

Greetings! We have acquired a lot of diving equipment and it is taking up a lot of space. We are not looking to sell off any of it, but instead are looking for some classy storage solutions. Any ideas?

define "a lot"....

What am I getting myself into

One room in the house is full of bags, bcds, regs, suits.. Cameras and batteries seem to be taking up much of the space in the room. It's all stored on one level so that's why so much room is being taken up. Stacking containers would be an option though, if I were to store this long term, it would be nice to make storage pretty and efficient.

Thanks for sharing. Guess I'll need some shelves.

Classy? Think Walk In Closet

I have been using this fish tank stand design principle to build shelves for a while. I store my tanks on their sides on racks made with this principle, and also use it to store bins.

Gear I don't use as often gets well dried out then put into a bin with a lid and label. Gear I use often, bins don't have lids and they stay on top of the stack so easy to grab.

I do need a better drying rack, but my volume is lower, so worst case I have a drysuit hanging from the garage door for a day. If I had more suits to dry, I'd spend the time to make a nicer hanger ASAP.

My kit has overtaken the house, the garage, the shed, and most of the garden. I could find a corner in the garden if that would help?
