Boot & Glove Vent Dryer Photoshoot

We got together the other night to snap some photos of our boot dryer in use, these are some of our favorites. We get pretty trigger happy with the camera so I'm sure there will be more.

Fits right over the vent, dries your boots!
Super solid design, virtually bomb proof. Probably literally too.
Hand TIG welded aluminum.



Shredding the hill tomorrow too? Better get your stuff dry.




















Fits ski boots too.

If you've ever mountain biked in the Pacific Northwest, you'll understand the beauty of having a permanent spot for your shoes and gloves to rest overnight.
    It's a lot easier to pedal out the next morning when your feet aren't cold and soggy.



























Share with a friend! There's plenty of room to get cozy.






Long boots, short boots, big gloves, little gloves. The Metalbox Boot & Glove Vent Dryer is built for diversity. What do you dry with yours?

$89












This vent dryer is built to last. If your grandkids can't pass it down to their children, then we will give you another one.

Made to fit over your forced air floor vent, it's designed to use existing hot air to channel through your wet belongings in an effective and efficient manner. Aluminum construction transfers heat quickly while the drilled machine gun holes allow hot air to circulate.

Not only are they earth friendly, for their lack for additional power... they're all completely handmade. Material is cleaned, cut, drilled, ground, TIG welded, and polished individually, by hand, in Bellingham, Washington, and fabricated from 100% upcycled aluminum. Aside from our welding filler rod (which we buy locally) everything else is purchased from our local metal recycling center. We're up there on a weekly basis rooting around, planning and dreaming of future projects.

Who needs one?

Snowboarders, Skiers, Mountain Bikers, Hikers, Snowmobilers, Moto/Streetbike Riders, Surfers, Runners, Road Bikers, Hunters, Walkers, Climbers, Mountaineers, Kids, Team Sport Athletes, Really anyone that ever gets wet!?

Why are they awesome?
  • Made in the USA
  • 100% Recycled Aluminum (minus the TIG rod)
  • Earth friendly (that heat was already there, now you just don't prop your stuff up on the floor)
  • Built like we used to build things, with our own two hands and to last. For. Ever.
  • Aluminum doesn't rust. And it's not plastic!
  • Each Metalbox Boot & Glove dryer is engraved/stamped with the builders initials and a production number.
Dimensions: The base is 5" x 16", designed to fit over most floor vents. 18" is the overall height.
The tubes vary since we rely on what's available, but generally stay around 1" diameter for the glove tubes and 2" diameter for the boot tubes.
Approximate Weight: 5lbs
Since we use recycled material, every boot dryer is slightly unique in that some dings and scratches may be visible. We call it character.

To pick up your Metalbox Boot & Glove Vent Dryer, email us at metalboxdesigns@gmail.com
We accept Paypal, or will deliver locally for a local check, or cash.

Thanks!
