How many dive cylinders do you currently own ? [Poll]

[michael-fisch]

I just added another one, or maybe two since I first posted here. They just keep growing.

I thinks the reason for that is what they do when the lights are off in the garage.

Well they are small ones. Little AL13 and AL30. Better start checking the born on dates.

I think this pole shows the Scoreboard pole skew better than any other I have seen.

47% of divers own more then 8 cylinders.

Mine are loaned out, sitting vertically in a shed or most commonly stored in my car. This winter they get indoor storage in a friend's warm basement. Stacked like cord wood.

Stacked like cord wood

How do you prevent the outermost bottom tanks from rolling sideways and the whole stack collapsing? Cordwood is (IME) usually split and doesn't roll that easily.

Ah, good clarification. Lazy cords are stacked between two trees around here. In this case it's my buddy's basement wall and his furnace that provide exterior walls to support the tank pile.... Of course when stacked it's always the one on the bottom that's needed for something.

Couple in the front hall, couple in the bathroom (gear rinsing in the tub), couple in the laundry room, couple in the office/dive gear den, the bulk of the out of date and the bulk tanks are lined up in the garage, and one sits in the boat (anchor recovery gear). Avoid storing them in the car, gets too hot here. More than one burst disk has gone due to excess heat around here, but none of mine.

Just 2 12litres shorties. I rarely dive more than twice a day... LDS is about 3 minutes away from home, so I can fill them up quite easy.
Just in case I would like to have two more, for a two day trip that would be...

At home we have a dedicated "Dive-room" in the barn where all the equipment is stored of five people. Cylinders stacked on a wooden base on the concrete floor. Base with wooden strips so the cylinders can't go anywhere.
