Stowing small object that are continually used


Be the first to comment

What is the issue?

Finding small objects that you continually use in boxed storage can be tiresome.



Why address this?

Optimising storage makes it easier to find just what you want and when you need it, making life that bit more relaxed.


How to address this?

Hang a multi-pocket organiser behind a vertical locker or cabin door as presented in figure 1.
These can be purchased or with the aid of a sewing machine easily made and sized to fit the vessels particulars. Using fungus resistant canvas and heavy clear plastic, stainless steel turn buttons are ideal holders for the organisers. When sewing plastic always use the machines longest stitch.
