Built a gear shed

[mff18b]

I looked at the locker Wayward Son built and decided that I liked his plan so I took his pictures and built myself one just like it. Works great and many thanks to Wayward Son for the idea. So for those of you that liked his locker.........I have drawn up a set of plans with dimensions and also attached a list of parts and pieces for the build. This whole thing cost me $122. And the only thing that was left was 2 strips of pegboard and some screws. If the attatched pics and diagram do not show up well then IM me and I will send them to your e-mail address if interested.

Cut List:

(2) 2ft x 4ft (3/4 in Particle board)
(3) 2ft x 6ft 4 1/2 in (3/4 in Particle board)
(3) 2ft x 19in (3/4 Particle board)
Pegboard needs to be cut to fit, once shell is completed.

Parts needed:

(2) 3/4 in Particle board 4' x 8'
(1) 3/16 in Pegboard 4' x 8'
(1) 1/8 in Pegboard 4' x 8'
(5) Poplar board 1in x 2in x 8'
(6) 2 1/2 in Castor Wheels
(6) 2in Hinges
(1) 3/4 in Pipe w/cap 4'
(1) 3/4 in Pipe cut to 26 1/2 in
(24) 5/16 Carriage Bolts w/nuts 1in
(2) 3/4 in Pipe Clamps
(1) 3 1/2 in Safety Hasp
(2) White door handles
Box 1 5/8 Drywayy screws
Box 1/2 in screws

Enjoy and I hope this helps.....Thanks...Jerry

Why the pipe on top?

Particle board must be a LOT cheaper than plywood. I didn't price it, I just used 3/4 ply. I think my total was right about $300.

Nice job!

Whenever I get around to building a Scuba shed, it's gonna have to be a lot bigger than yours to accomodate my stuff

I do like the idea, though.

FWIW, I have 2 divers & mine is stuffed full. I also have more tanks than I can get in the right side. It holds 6 there.

The particle board is a good idea. Next time I'm at Home Depot I'm going to compare prices with ply, I may just use it when I make the next one.

I would've made this one bigger, but i didn't have a spot where anything larger would fit in my garage.

The pipe is my idea. It's not fixed, the clamps are loose enough so it can be pulled out to one side. This allows me to hang suits from it to drip dry over a large rubbermaid tub. Once dry, they get moved to the left inside compartment.

I figure this should make the floor last years longer by not continually soaking it with water.

Air holes for ventilation? Once the mold starts...

Oh, I get it now, thanks for clarifying!

I used 1/8 inch pegboard to make the doors on mine.
