Hi.

I live in a 500 year flood plain, adjacent to a lake. Four years ago we had our perfect 500 year storm and our basement flooded. 4" of water destroyed the basement and we were down to cinderblock and studs. Glad my records weren't on the floor! And you don't have to live on the water to have flooding in the house...

Stay dry...

Thanks goodness. My house (with basement) is on some highland some 3/4 hour driving distance from one of the Great Lake.

Yes, what should I worry is sewage backup dowm my house basement though it never yet happened in the last 25 years & though my house insurance already covers it.

Desiring placement flexibility and the ability to expand LP storage as the need arises, I DIY'd the 16"Wx15-1/2"Hx12-3/4"D stackable modules shown below using Home Depot-purchased alder. The sides are  1x8's biscuit-joined to 1x6's; the staggered top and bottom slats are 1-by ripped to a 2-1/16" width. To provide additional stability, I added 7-inch-wide 1/2" thick plywood backs to each module.

An unintended but welcome bonus--a VPI 16.5 RCM fits snugly atop a module. Three modules are shown stacked, but I currently have seven in service, including a solo one for the RCM, with the cleaning and rinse solutions and related supplies stored inside it.
 
I'll add an oil finish to them one of these days.
