i jUST GOT TO WONDERING . How do you guys store tour tie Straps ..
I go through so many TIE STRAPS . Due to my neglect . I'll put mine in a 5 gallon Bucket & they end up covered in water to grime.
SO I went to Harbor Freight looking for a tote box to keep them . But Mercy MOST OF WHAT i'VE SEEN cost like $ 65.00 & up.
There's bound to make something that will store about 8 of the big yellow straps . & Maybe 15 of the little one inch straps .
Sun & Water get mine most of the times.
Thanks in advance.

I bought small vinyl zipper bags of the approximate size to fit each of the different straps I have.
I put the straps inside the (clear) zipper bags, then put the bags in an Amazon brand nylon tote bag. Basically a soft tool bag.
This is mostly for the smallish ones that I use for daily loads in the pickup.
Haven’t done anything for the big ones yet but most of those are in my Mac’s tote bag.
The rest are holding the bronco to a trailer.

I roll them and stuff individual units in zip lock bags to keep them rolled. I made a storage bin under the rear seat and store them there. what ever you do don't loan them out unless its a life or death emergency. loan them out and you only get half back and their a mess and never get back to proper storage when you go looking for them.

I roll my straps carefully and neatly. I figured out the best packed configuration in an old-school milk crate. That milk crate has a designated spot in my trailer box.

The crate allows any moisture to escape the rolled up straps while the trailer box keeps things dry.

Compartment under seat works well or tool box in back

Pa, I roll them up tight, use tiny bungee cords to hold them in place and then I stack them in an old school milk crate. Those sit in my barn until I need them. I do have several small ones in the bed of my truck under the tonneau cover for loads.
