How do you carry propane tanks?

Simply strapping them down seemed ok but always wanting to improve on things, I came up with this wooden cradle today. Mounts with two wing nuts.



Works with the larger size tank too.

May put in some dedicated tie downs in this cradle.

 

Looks like a good idea, dedicated tie downs would be the way to go.

 

Usually wedging it in between other totes/equipment in the bed.

I’ll run a bungee all the way across from the tie downs in front of the wheel wells to keep it from going towards the back. And another bungee from the cleat to prevent sway.

 

Nice ! I like it.

 

I use a milk crate for my grill tank.

 

I use this against the tailgate. No issues.

 

+2 on milk crates. My dad always had a propane tank in one going on camping trips. They literally fit a standard propane tank perfectly.

 

Milk crate, have 2 just for refill runs.

 

Thank you for the likes. I did the milk crate thing for a while but wanted something a little bit more customized. Hey, it’s made out of scrap wood and junk I had in my garage.and I googled propane tank bracket and didn’t see anything too sophisticated.

 

Nice work, but I just use milk crates as well.

Milk crates work great and cheap too!

 

Me too. Multi purpose devices.

 

Usually ratchet strap them to the tie downs. Though the op set up is a cool idea.

 

Another vote for milk crates. Can’t go wrong with them. If your wanting something with more character there’s the metal and wood ones that are really cool.

 

An equipment net like this one works perfect. You can carry two or three if you want.

What about the man size 100lb tanks? Grill tanks go inside with a buckle, like a child.
