    Gear Room

    Hey guys

    Got a spare bedroom I want to use for storing all my hunting and camping gear.
    At the moment, it's spread out between my bedroom wardrobe, drawers, storage containers, and racking in the garage, and it's a pain in the ass.

    Been looking at racking options with bins and free-standing wardrobes, and will probably go with a combination of both

    Has anyone seen or have any legit setups I can get some ideas from?

    cheers

    warehouse used to do a cheap line of steel modular shelving but you would need to anchor it to wall at intervals in case of earthquake - if I had a choice I would make it from ply for the shelves and pine for the framing maybe some macrocarpara Rimu or Matai ( even recycled ) on front to make it all look good - dont forget a bench

    We use the RackIt® shelves from Bunnings to store our camping gear.

    I like this option if starting from scratch. Comes in a couple of widths from memory. I used it to build a couple of work areas (desks/shelving) for our kids as well, quite versatile and pretty quick to whip something up. Probably not as cheap as DIY shelving from timber/ply, but took me less than 1/2day to buy and assemble, would've been a few weekend's work to build from scratch.

    Bunnings Rack-it system is modular and strikes a balance between price amd quality. Easy to install and quite a few accessories can be added like hooks to hang stuff from the sides.

    many of you have great set ups me I would like some timber especially with some natural grain - just set the room off in my opinion - like an old English gun room - the subtle grain of oak and mahogany - whiff of youngs gun oil - leather and yesterdays lager

    Exactly what I did for my gear in the garage. Mrs won't give me permission to store it in the spare bedroom.


    Hang on. I think that IS my garage.

    A bit more bang is better.
