How To Keep Your Gas Bottles Safe With Security Cages
Gas bottles are often stored in the back of the yard or in a shed for safety reasons. But they can be a major fire hazard if they’re not kept securely. Here are some of the best ways to keep your gas bottles safe and secure.
Getting the right gas bottle cage
You don’t need to spend a fortune to secure gas bottles. Our cages and cabinets are secure and can be locked or locked with a combination key. Smaller cages are perfect for holding multiple smaller bottles at a time. Safe storage tips:
- Stack the bottles safely and securely
- Don’t stack bottles so you can’t see any
- Check that the locking is strong enough to keep the bottle in place
- Keep the cage clean
- Secure the cage by fitting the cage into a screw hole in the floor
Why gas bottles can be a fire hazard
Gas bottles, like any other item of this nature, may contain flammable substances. In fact, if they’re not kept upright, that can be a serious issue for any potential fire. That’s because the internal pressure can build up and explode, spreading the contents of the bottle, and even burning the walls around it. Some people may not consider this risk to be serious, but it absolutely is a risk. Once lit, a gas bottle can pose a serious danger to people and buildings nearby.
Conclusion
There are so many ways to store a gas bottle but none of these ways are as safe and secure as using a security cage. By following some of the tips in this article, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you’ll have all the necessary equipment for storing gas bottles safely.
