About Us
floatstorage.com™ was formed in 2008 to market Hanging Float Rack™ products’s, pool floats, pool “saddles”, pet safety vests, and related items for today’s active swimmer.
Our inspiration to create the Hanging Float Rack™ came to us on a Sunday afternoon after our guests went home from a wonderful pool party and picnic. As we were clearing our pool deck of floats, swim goggles, "noodles" and other pool "toys", one of us slipped on a wet pool float and came pretty close to a bad injury.
We “knew” there had to be a better way than just stacking them neatly side by side and eventually have the wind blow them over. We also already knew if you stacked them like pancakes you’re leaving your floats exposed to the elements to potentially grow mildew and even cause them to discolor when you pull them apart.
After thinking a while, we sketched out our prototype and bought the materials for our first 3 float “Hanging Float Rack™”. It has faithfully served us throughout these years and we’ve received many compliments from our friends asking why we didn’t “market it”.
The timing was perfect this year for us to investigate how to best go about manufacturing and marketing our products and how to prepare our application for patent. “Hanging Float Rack™”, and “floatstorage.com™” are now trademarked “marks”, as the Patent Office would call them, and so is our graphic above the mark, floatstorage.com. We applied for a provisional patent and our Hanging Float Rack™ products are now considered, "PATENT PENDING". We have one year to apply for the Utility Patent.
In November we exhibited at the U.S.’s largest Pool/Spa/Patio Buyers Show in Las Vegas, November 18-20, 2008. The response to our products was phenomenal. We are now scheduled for the Dallas/Ft. Worth Show, January 16 & 17, and the Atlantic City Pool and Spa show on January 26-27.
We believe you will thoroughly enjoy the ease and convenience of storing your pool floats and related swim toys in a manner that takes no precious pool deck space and can be mounted almost anywhere. Try one and recommend our Hanging Float Rack™ products to your friends.
Happy Floating!
