Ok I did a poor job explaining what I'm looking for, so I'll try this again.


I'd like to keep my rubber knee boots, hip boots, and waders in the garage, preferably upsidedown hanging by the ankles. Has anyone made or bought anything for the house or camp?

If you are really concerned, hose em off when you finish the season, then hang in an indoor closet. They will last forever. If you hang outside or fold inside you will run into trouble quicker than inside hanging up.

Hang wanders up in a closet or man cave. I keep my knee boots in a plastic storage box I got from bass pro.

Waders have holes long before dry rot. Looking for something so I can hang from the ankles in the garage. 3 sets of knees, one hipboots, and chest waders.

Something similar to this.

Waders get thrown in a closet, and boots are either standing up or laying down in a closet

Yes I have that hanging in my garage.

ETA: Moved waders and boots to single pair models between the door and side of spare room closet because heard outdoor temperature changes causes dry rotting. The one outside have my decoys hanging from it on Texas Rigs and the blind bags and mojo bags on top.

I have a pair of Lacrosse neoprene waders that I bought in 2003. I don't even remember the model but it was something like brush tuff. I spray them off let dry then roll down and put in an Avery wader bag in my garage. Never had a single problem with them.
Point is you really don't have to hang them.

Trying to see if I have enough room for the boat and my wife's vehicle. If I do I will have more wall space than floor space. Waders usually get moved to a spare closet once dry in the off season but during the season I leave them in the garage.

Hard to believe that most people on here bring their rubber or muck boots inside though.

My dad cut one out of wood with a jigsaw like this for the camp, sanded it down and mounted it like a shelf

In y'alls experience, how does the heat of a garage/attic effect them?

I keep mine inside pretty much all year long except for when I'm hunting. All of my friends have to replace theirs ever couple of years. I've only owned 3 pair of full sized waders.

for waders or boots?

I made this today, which got me thinking I could make one for it, but I would need 1x8s at least , also saw some Google images of dowel rods was wondering if anyone had any preference over each opposed to "keep them inside"

I haven't seen any change in the life of waders or boots. When I kept them inside versus the garage or shed. It's not being exposed to direct sunlight just more extreme temperatures than 68-75 degrees. If the neoprene can't stand up to that my battery powered tools don't stand a chance.

Had a cheap neoprene pair from academy last for 6 years keeping in closet in the offseason so i guess it works. Always heard dont keep them in shed or garage so i never did.

They dont take up much room in there.
