Nice setup. I my add that next to the bench I'm wanting to build.

That barely looks like enough gear for one person....

I was gonna say... I don't think that would hold all of my gear!

You need a couple more exposure suits, a couple more pairs of fins, another reg set or two, and a LOT more tanks, to get started...



I like the concept, though! Now I just need a place to store a shed like that.

That was a picture from about a year ago, when I first got back into diving. In the past year I have added 3 divers to the household, a second gear locker, and I'm thinking I need to build a THIRD locker to hold all the gear I now have.

very nice. i been wanting to get a shed like that so that i can keep stuff in the garage instead of in the house.

why type in huge red letters? are you angry?

I really like the design. I'll have to give some serious consideration to whether I can fit something like that in my condo somewhere.

Question: Is there any concern that the main crossbar (holding all that heavy stuff on hangers) is only held onto the structure by two bolts on each side... which go through the soft rubbermaid plastic walls? I'd imagine there is a good amount of friction adding to the support, assuming you really cranked down the bolts, but it still gave me pause when I thought about that.

Not at all!!! Look at the name I use..... "USMCRet" Marine Corps colors, my friend, are scarlet and gold. As for the size of the letters, what can I say?

CD, go to my website and take a look at the detailed directions as to what materials I used, and how I put it all together. I've found it to be very sturdy this past year or so that I've been using it. I have made a modification to the original locker, by adding a sheet of pegboard on the inside back wall. That allows me to hang small items on the pegboard, and the flexibility to change the configuration when/as needed. The link to the post on my forum is:
