new storage cabinet

We had this useless bit of space behind the greenhouse. So searched the internet and found this. So as it came as a dreaded flat pack assembly had the usual problems, but we managed it. So the stuff in the greenhouse taking up room has some of the pots etc now put away . Got a couple of large pots to put in later on. Assembled in the kitchen last night and put in position ,stuff went inside this morning.
One problem was size, trying to find something that would go into the useless space of 3ftx4ft approx

Useless space

Re: new storage cabinet

Last weekend we helped the couple in the next caravan put together something very similar, not the easiest flat pack we have ever done I have to say. Looks good though.

TY Julie

Trying to find something this small to fit the space took ages on an internet search. Either they were made of wood or wrong size. Then one place was selling this at £84 and we found another site, same thing at £50. So it pays to search properly. Oh and delivery was next day at no extra charge

Re: new storage cabinet

I am not sure how much they paid for theirs, but we have to have plastic the caravan site says wood is too flammable, not sure if there was a fire the toxic fumes from plastic would give us much chance either myself.

Re: new storage cabinet

Yes plastic in a caravan could also be a problem, but as this sits outside behind the greenhouse we do not have that worry

this is under cover so water ingress should not be a problem



Aas you can see it is tucked away under cover but easy to get to
