I'm going to be ripping out my current workbench in my garage and replacing it with a new garage storage solution. Workbench, cabinets, racks, shelving, ect. I don't mind paying for quality stuff and I have no brand loyalties. What would you guys recommend?
Yeah, definitely going to be grabbing smaller things like that after I get the big stuff put in. Right now, I'm thinking about about something like this. What brands and series do you guys use and recommend?
I used kitchen cabinets from Ikea. Good price for the basic model, very durable but you must assemble them yourself before hanging--easy after the first one. I used 2 thicknesses of 3/4" plywood for my workbench top and just pulled the base cabinets out from the wall a few inches to give me more depth.
Costco Whalen Industrial racksbon sale for 129 right now. Same thing at HD is like 190. The last time these were on sale was in August, in gonna grab like 3, the black yellow bins are 6.99 on sale, usually 8.79, HD equivalent is like 11.
Bro i been monitoring these prices for the past year, jump on it cause it stopsbon the 25
Will look into it. I have enough open racks, though. I'm really looking into entire storage solutions to replace my beaten up cabinets, closets, and workbench. Will probably head on over to the HD and Lowes tomorrow just to see what's out there.
I'm using the premier series. I measured out my garage, selected what worked best for me and had one of our handy guys install it all. Pleased with the results.
I looked into having a professional storage company do this, but it was way overpriced in my opinion. If it was a business expense and vital to my business, I might have felt differently.
I know guys who are more than happy with the Ready to Assemble line, I started with the premier, and well, everything has to match. You can usually catch the RTA stuff on sale at any of the retailers if you watch the cycles well enough.
Got a buddy with NewAge, they look great and seem tough.
I have Gladiator storage cabinets I got from Lowes. Work well, and have held up well. Bought a modular hanging thingy too, and its built very well (for hanging stuff on the wall). It is better quality that the cheap fiberboard storage cabinets I had before (think IKEA), but not as sturdy and solid as my Craftsman tool cabinets. On the other hand, I could not afford storage cabinets built like a tool box!
