hi there
im just wondering what people do to store their rugs, as im sick of mines taking up so much room, people at my old yard had what we all called coffin a big plastic storage box but i dont know where to buy them the used to fit loads of rugs in them but i dont want to spend liek £100 on a plastic box, ive seen the rug bags tht store upto 5 rugs but id probably need atleast 5 of them, was going to get one of those hanging things but with dustys rugs been 6ft3 id need them over 6.5 feet high to keep them of the ground and i dont really have anywhere to put one, if anyone has any ideas or know where to get these "coffins" please help
many thanks
alex
 
I bought two clear plastic stacking boxes from Wilkinson a few weeks ago. Two for £5. they were huge. I can fit two 6ft3 medium weight turnouts in one box. or about 8 fleeces in one (don't ask why i have 8 fleeces, lol. think i've got a thing for fleece rugs! lol)
 
I lay my rugs out, then fold inhalf length ways, then roll up nice and tight and secure with a bungee (elastic cord with hook on either end). I use a garden storage box i think its a Keter one and cost about £40 from B&Q, you can fit loads of rugs in it.
 
never heard of wilkinsons but thats a good idea, i have 6ft3s, and a pony with 5ft6 she has 3light weights, 3 mediums and 2 heavys so dont know how many id need for that plus i have 6fleeces so id probz needs atleast 4 or 5boxes, fleeces are just so handy to have to pop on to keep them warm, after a bath to dry or keep clean the list goes on lol, my fav tho is by far my blue newmarket :D
dovet bags would be ok but im at robinsons rug wash soo can just take there bags lol but its just incase mice or that want to sleep in the although ive only seen one mouse in 5 years there, ist if there in an actual box or proper rug bag itl look much neater and tidier
 
Space bags are brilliant. You use the vaccum cleaner to take the air out of the bag when your rug is in it and saves so much space.
