Oriental, NC

 We used to store our Coast Guard required life vests under the cushion on our sling seat.  But when I made the nice cushions a couple months ago, the life vests lost their storage spot.

We decided that we could make a place to store them in the vacant space under the gas grill.


After much measuring and head scratching we had our design.  A simple box that would have zippers on the end to make it quick and easy to access in case of emergency.  (The tabs will help attach it under the grill support.)

 

Here's the box mostly assembled.  (Made from grey Phifertex mesh and plastic Vislon zippers so no corrosion).


Fitting the box into the space.

 

Stuffed with 6 life vests and one throwable cushion.

Zipped up and completely out of the way but accessible!

 

Pretty pleased with how it turned out.
