Author Topic: Anyone make a wooden boot store similar to this? (Read 6390 times)

I am thinking that if I have it outside, but close enough to the door, i can take my boots off, just inside the doo,r and lean round the corner to hang the boots up. But then on the other hand perhaps there is too much contortonist stuff going on

Crocs. Hang them on the hooks.

Great idea for storing old/little-used wellies as the mice won't make their nests in them when the boots are hanging upside-down

. The P**h- covered stinky boots will still have to stay on the floor though

.

Anyone making them at reasonable price, please pm me. thanks.

My daughter had one made from a very big log with lengths of broom handle stuck into holes, works really well but I like to put my feet into cosy dry boots and I think hers get damp just being outside.

If the wellies hang upside down anyway, the boards around are not neccessary, so on could have it as simple as one board and the broom sticks sticking out. In a good rain they might get washed.
I wouldnt use plywood then...

Bionic, would you like me to ask a friend (a master joiner and cabinet maker) if he could make one for you?

Bionic · « **Reply #20 on:** November 21, 2014, 10:22:07 am »

If it isn't too much trouble please ask and let me know how much it would be. I would then have to add p&p of course
Thanks

I bought a metal one off ebay a year or so ago and it wasn't too expensive. I'm thrifty (yeah I know it's the Scottish blood!) so was definitely under £30. Boots dry out quicker on it

I would make an out door settle, with the seat lifting up to put your boots in and sit on while you take them off and a shelf at the back of the settle to ward off the rain. Other wise add a shed outside you back door and put all your coats, boots etc in there. I love a shed.

got one for waders (if not folded, they dont rot as quickly

to make need 1 broom handle 1inch across

1 plank

1 1inch drill bit

drill holes cut handle push into holes with dab of glue total cost was about £5

not too pretty but its for muddy waders :-)

I have found that a large stout fruit box lined with newspaper is a good place to park muddy footwear. I'd be concerned that boots kept outside would get damp.

I expect almost everybody has found their

cat trying to climb down a welly and discovered there's a live mouse in the toe .

My BIL once found a hibernating hedgehog in one of his

Bionic, my friend would be glad to make one for you. Could you e-mail picture to me and I would send it on. Did you want walnut, mahogany, oak he asked. I said probably pine would do
