Wow that looks like an inefficient use of space. Seems way more than needed for airflow. Could fit 6 or 8 without much difficulty. Is there a reason?
Its for 33 lbs forklift cylinders that would do just fine, for what ever reason the show 5 and 10lbs freon cylinders actually in it, not propane.
I don't see any being sold that refer to any code compliance .
There isn't much code about the actual rack, its mainly about where and how the rack is situated to openings, vehicular traffic, and fuel pumps.

and Propane is supposed to be stored standing up... however most lift trucks they lay horizontal .
Vertical cylinders must be stored vertically and horizontal cylinders horizontally. And some cylinders such as most forklift cylinders are universal and may be stored either way.
