Getting ready to head to the keys for mini and theres 4 divers with two tanks each. Had to make something that would withstand the drive to put in the back of my truck. After a few hours of work, $15 bucks in pressure trated 2x4's. a box of outdoor screws and heres what I came up with. Not to bad if I say so myself. photo.jpg
 
Looks good! Little jealous I must say. Question though, what made you go for a vertical setup instead of horizontal?
I ask because I need to work something out for my car trunk, but obviously they have to be laying flat. With constant changing of tank sizes, and hopefully by next year doubles I don't know what is going to be versatile enough for all setups

edit: spelling
 
Nice looks weel built! I need to make one for mine sooner than later. Also looks to be maybe a little bulky, think you could of used some lighter wood than what you did?
 
Bulky equals sturdy! Looks great, I'm trying to design a tank rack myself, my issue is I want to make it secure and lockable. My next issue is I have some aluminum 80's, as well as steel 120's, so anything I can gleen from others designs is a plus. This rack looks great, and very funtional.
 
Do you mind posting the measurements?
