Garage organization - systems?

Anyone have FHE on the drawer-slides, are they bearings?

It seems so. Looking at the manual for one of the drawer units, the diagram loks like a bearing unit and the text says 'ball bearing track' in several places.

Yes - at least on the one I saw which was purchased a few months ago

edit: a call to the 800 number confirmed that they do have ball bearing slides but that the newer cabinets have smaller bearings - I didn't think to ask about weight rating as I am not planning anything other than hand tools for my setup.

my garage organization system:


Start piling in the back corner, farthest from the door. Once you hit the door, you have to start storing stuff other places 




sorry, I really had nothing to add to this thread. I have shelves made from 2x4's and 1/2 in plywood

My personal favorite....esp after having 4 kids move out and back and out again several times each with all their accumulated "stuff" left behind until "later"

stuff like that cheap as shit Ikea crap furniture that they didn't disassemble to move       that sits a'listing in the garage like ancient Carolina tobacco sheds



for real storage/organization I use those cheapo snap together plastic shelves at Home Depot...work fine and hold a shit ton of stuff without collapsing

I had a bunch of those but the parts that I have stored in the garage tend to be heavy (think of a box of crankshafts....)  That's why I built my own.  Cheaper per sq ft of shelf space and I was able to have them to go the ceiling (where I put the oddball stuff, like the collection of banged up gas tanks I'm slowly repairing and painting...)

There really is no substitution to building your own.  waferboard for floor is cheap per sq ft and if you get some plans off the web, you can put doors on it if you really need them.

I bought some industrial shelving from Lowes on sale similar to this -> http://www.lowes.com/pd_54003-1281-RL2408DE_4294857717_4294937087_?productId=3034705&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Free%2BStanding%2BShelving_4294857717_4294937087_%3Fpage%3D2%26Ns%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr%7C0%7C%7Cp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=

for under $200 at the time...I can't recall exactly what I spent, but they hold a crapton of weight....
