Where do you keep your gear??

Having read about poor Quarterflounders experience where does everybody keep their precious tackle(if anybody says down your pance :x !)? Used to run with the garage but the more that got invested the more I thought it would be best to bring it indoors. Now lives in a series of drawers, cupboards that has expanded to take up most of downstairs hall/stairwell. The girlfriend doesn't live with me so that means its even crept into bedrooms and sitting room :) . If i ever get a gaff built I'm going to try and have somewhere designed specifically to house it all. Idea of rod racks etc. appeals to me :idea:

i bought a barn-a-shed 8' x 6' i basically transformed it to my requirements.

i filled in all the gaps with squirty foam put lino on the floor so i was able to run power out to it. there is a fair bit of space in it for all my gear i also have a fridge freezer in it.
i put some wide shelves up high for all my rods. i also put steel rails from wall to wall for hangers to dry all the clothing. when everything is wet all i need to do is put the oil filled heather on and the gear is dried in a few hours, it saves you from hanging your wet gear over the shower or on the back of a door in your downstairs toilet and most important the missus is happy!!!! :lol:

I've mine all in the garage it looks like a tackle shop however its well secured including alarmed, the alarms can be set so that its on when I'm in the house let alone away for the day.

I'd cry for a month if anything was to happen....

every last bit in my room, but the rods stay by the front door after a trip for a few days until they start complaining. te drawers are packed with all sorts of gear and have a big box under the bed full of gear. trying to get them to buy me a shed in the garden for my gear!

Used to keep it all in the garage. Have now moved my waders indoors ever since the mate had his nested in by mice. He wasn't impressed when he saw all the holes nibbled in them from the knees down. :lol:
