So I'm creating my dream vault and reloading area. So I have what I think is a good layout in my head. Room to be shaped like a T
The top of the T being reload the bottom being the gun library.
13' long walls with the very back wall being 6' wide. I'm thinking vertical rifles and shotguns on side walls back 6' being horizontally mounted long range sticks.
Anyone have a system for mounting they prefer? I've looked at the panels but boy they are expensive.

Snox,

Did you ever build your vault? I'm going to redo my room, sell a safe and get rid of some cabinets. I bit the proverbial bullet and dropped some money on the wall system from Secure It. I won't get to installing for a while but was curious what you came up with. I think the wall system will save me space and keep things organized.
 
Love this idea of building a walk in vault with a safe door instead of a safe in the house that's never big enough. What is everyone building there walls out of? Cause 2x4 studs and drywall are definitely not secure or fire proof.. I'm thinking of building one in my shop, when I decide to finish it.
 
Concrete and blocks. Usually has to be planned but could be added if space available. Fire is a lot harder to mitigate than most think but the open air space of a big room is the answer for sure

Thanks

Buck
 
Pretty much the same size as mine…..
NOT NEARLY LARGE ENOUGH

My walls are 12" thick with double rebar. Top is 1/4" galvanized rolled into a tray style and bolted together. Topped with 8" cement with rebar and wire mesh.
Vault door company said that's the first time the door would be the weakest link.
