Prior to having a gas tank in your space you need to check what your local laws and regulations are on securing it! Securing the tank with a ratchet strap is just one option, our primary purpose here is to prevent the tank from getting knocked over! Also for anyone curious about this orange tank this is the argon gas tank connected to my @sunstoneweld Pulse Arc Welder. I also use a strap to secure my acetylene B tank. Hope this is a helpful option for some! It’s certainly not the only way ☺️
