If you live somewhere snowy and have school aged kids, then you know the hassle of cycling soaked gloves and boots (positioning them for best air movement, remembering to swap them etc) on the dryer – that’s why we made this DIY one that can handle ALL of our gear (5 people!).
My kids are all finally in school, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve really been on the struggle bus (well.. before the dryer!) in regards to trying to get everything dry.

Since buying one was WAY too expensive (See the screenshot a little lower… $699 for the cheapest dryer that’s for more than one person!) we wanted to figure out a better solution.
The laundry dryer is way too harsh for the winter gear we have, and there are only so many vents from our home heating system (don’t even get me started on trying to perfectly prop up everything so air actually gets in!)

In fact, we haven’t been able to play outside sometimes because all the kids’ stuff was still wet! And we have two spares each!
Luckily, I married a pretty darn inventive guy and he came up with this system. There’s a TON of ways to make it easier or more efficient – it just depends on how much work you want to do.
Here we go!
How to make a DIY big family 5 person boot and glove dyer!
This is probably one of the longest DIY’s I’ve published (my other post popular one, the DIY RV blackout covers is about half) but the screenshot below will show you why.

Those are the results that come up – notice how the dryers that are for more than one person drastically jump in price? There’s a $699 and an $899 one (and I don’t even know if those are meant for boots AND gloves)
Many of the tools and materials listed are just ways to do this project easier. If you don’t have something, it’s fairly easy to substitute until you can find a better option.
Do you have any questions? This DIY boot and glove warmer is so worth it!!
Our stuff is typically dry within an hour and we’ve gotten our kids (3-5) able to put all their gear on themselves.
Pro tip: Speed up the drying process and set your DIY dryer over a heater vent!
