Garage Pride Cabinets Locost Equivalents
Barkalarr - 5/1/18 at 08:21 AM

A job for this year is going to be tidy up the garage.
I currently have shelves from bigdoug, but they look crap - there is toot everywhere.

I’m quite interested in Garage pride cabinets and draws, but don’t like the price tag.
Does anyone know where I can get a similar item which won’t make my wallet “Superlight”

I’m only going to do one straight wall, so nothing flash. I want draws so a Howden kitchen is out.

Ideas ?

If a second hand kitchen wont do, then machine mart do cabinets. Combine with a VAT voucher for extra savings.

Take a look on ebay for 2nd hand tool cabinets. I bought a Clarke 7 draw one a few years ago for around £60 (close to £200 brand new). Chap selling it was £££££ and looking to "upgrade" his tool storage. I had to go and collect it, but it was 10 miles away so no big deal.

I have some of these - linky

works well for me, I have some on racks and some on the floor, the heavy ones sit on wheels and go under the bench,...

often available 2nd hand

Have a look at the 'Steevo' style bench here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1892130&postcount=48

I fitted out my garage with steevo style benches (using machine mart roll-cab's) and cheap cabinets, and it cost nowhere near as much as the garagepride/dura/etc type setups:

I also repainted an office storage cabinet and bought a load of machinemart shelving and plastic storage boxes.
