Ideas needed for wetsuit drying room

[driftwood]

It may be more of a pain given you have 75 suits to dry, but I would try drying them inside out. It has already been mentioned that it is the lining that needs drying. Having the lining fully exposed is much better.

Additional to above commentary, make sure there is enough space between the suits that they are not touching.

A boot drying rack comes to mind as well. Pushing air to the interior as well may speed the drying.

We have come up wth a plan thanks to the great repsonses. We are going to mount air movers overhead that will be directed onto the wetsuits. The wetsuits will be hung with seperators on the rods to avoid bunching up overnight. A commercial dehumidifier will run along with climate control (ideal temp to be determined).

The wash tubs are just about fabricated as is the drip pan. When the suits are removed from the wash station they will move to an 11 foot rack with a drip pan that will catch all water coming off of the suits. Once they have dripped out the suits will move to another area where they will be placed on Z-bar hangers for easy moving to the storage room. This should be an efficient process, certainly much better then what we have now.

I will post pictures of the finished product which is still probably 2 weeks out.

Thanks again for everyones input.

Did you ever get the drying system done? Do you have pictures to share?

Thanks,
