modular Garage Storage

[Lazurus]

Has any one got or use one of these modular garage units, if so are they ok and worth the money, looking at a 4-5m unit for new build workshop. Any recomendations as to a make Sealey, Draper and many others do them any preferred brands?

Personally I don’t like metal cabinets, I don’t like the coldness or the noise of them, just me, I know it’s being a bit picky. Always made do with second hand kitchen units.
But they do look nice, professional and business like. Ian

Another issue with cold metal drawers can be condensation if your shop is not warm enough, wood not a problem and kinder to cutting tools. When I was into metal, using metal drawers I would use wooden inserts for delicate tools / cutters.

Hmmm hadn't considered that

As Spectric says condensation might be a problem. and as you are in the Broads its wet there usually.........
(just like me up the road a bit near the coast)

ok so after much deliberation and Googling I finally went for the plastic Keter cabinets, I got 2 x tall and 3 x small which fit the wall I wanted to use. I realise they are not on par with the steel modular units but as I predominantly wanted them to store tools and accessories in these fit the bill perfectly. They arrived flat packed and were easy to assemble, not as robust as the steel offerings but they suit my need and saved me well over £1000 - so it was a win win. Thanks for all the input.

I used them a couple of times, but none of them were as convenient as I imagined.

The lack of easy access and cumbersome processes often left me frustrated, prompting me to look into self storage automation now. With technology evolving, I believe that automated systems can significantly streamline operations, making it easier for customers to access their units anytime without the hassle of traditional storage solutions. This experience has inspired me to take the plunge and plan to start my own storage business. By focusing on automation, I aim to create a seamless and efficient experience for my customers, ensuring they have easy access to their belongings while also managing the business effectively
