Build it yourself?

If you have the time to spare, you can build one yourself.

A PVC Bin Storage Center can be built to store any shape and size bin. Having the storage center provides a few basic benefits.

The most important advantage is finally getting to those bottom bins without having to unstack several layers of other stuff. I’m sure countless times you look at what’s there and postpone the project or do a lot extra labor that you could be avoiding.

The other benefit is that having similar boxes will encourage you to be more organized about what goes where. Building it yourself allows you to design the storage center to your needs. If you choose to do a do-it-yourself project, you can build it 2 spaces high and 10 spaces wide or in other configurations to fit around your storage space. Once you have the basics of how to build it, you can customize it to the bins that you already have.

This project is pretty simple. You are only going to need a few different types of pieces to get started. Keep in mind that building this to your needs may require some imagination. Spend some time planning what you want to build, how high, how wide, and if you want to leave the ends open to expansion. I always leave the option to expand open. Use X pieces of PVC for the center joints, T pieces for top and edges, and regular pipe goes between. For heavier items use 1 1/2″ diameter. If you only have lighter items, you can use 1″ pipe.

The Ultimate Garage Storage System for Home Business

Garage storage systems can help you clean up your clutter, and it can also help your home-based business run more efficiently.

Recently we have seen more emails from visitors asking for advice on what to do when they have boxes half-full of products they are shipping out. Whether it’s eBay, a Yahoo store, or just direct on the web, it seems like so many people are using their garages as a mini-warehouse!

Unfortunately they get into a bind as they have some success, order more products to feature, and the boxes pile up. Here are some experiences:

  • I’ve got a part-time person coming over to help with the shipping, but she’s complaining that it takes too long to rummage around for what she needs. We set up some tables in the garage but it’s just not good enough.
  • I’m doing my business solo, and my office is as neat as a pin. All my files are where I want them, the rest is on the computer, etc. But now I’m doing physical products and I need some garage solutions.

We do feature over 170 garage organizers, shelving and cabinets, but the happiest customers we’ve heard from are the ones who opted for a complete garage storage system. Now this is not for everybody. It’s more expensive up-front, but the good news is that you have it all taken care of at once. No adding a cabinet at a time. And you’ll find there’s always something more you need to store. Our customers say our best system so far: the “10 Piece Garage Storage Deluxe System – Ulitmate Garage.”

I found a friend of a friend who installed the system in his garage and he told me it works well in the space that he has. Take note: this is not for small garages and you need to make room. This is why we’re suggesting it’s good for a home-based business. It’s a priority to get the boxes off the dining room table and into the garage, so you can push aside all the old junk.

Next week I’m going to get a chance to see how he set it up. He did have to get rid of some old golf clubs and a bunch of artsy-crafty things his daughter had, but he’s said it’s well worth it.

So–Do you have a home-based business that has inventory? Our visitors buy a variety of systems and accessories, but they say the UltiMate system is the way to go. Hope that helps!
