Garage Cabinets

As you might guess from the name, base cabinets are one of the most basic ways to get your garage organized. This garage shelving is a stand-alone unit with doors or drawers opening up for easy organization. The top offers a convenient countertop space that can serve as a workbench or additional storage.

Base cabinets are a good solution if you have a lot of floor space to spare, but if space is at a premium you might want to consider wall cabinets. The great thing about base cabinets is that they’re pretty budget-friendly! They don’t come with a lot of bells and whistles, but they get the job done, and sometimes that’s all you need.

The next type of garage organization system is a tall stand-alone cabinet. The expansive interior ensures that you can fit all your tools and toys in one convenient space. The most frequently used items can be stored at eye level, while the more specialty stuff is tucked away at the bottom.

Tall cabinets are a great solution if you have a ton of stuff to store and you already have a workbench or other countertop space to complete your projects. These tall cabinets are also great because you can hide away potentially hazardous or dangerous items in a place where pets and children can’t reach.

Wall cabinets are constructed for durability and made to hold the weight of all your belongings with ease. Some even come with cord management holes in the back, so you can charge your tools as you store them. Wall cabinets are also good for storing potentially dangerous items out of sight and out of reach.

If you’re starting fresh and gutting your garage, or you’ve got tons of clutter and need to get really organized, cabinet packages will give you the most bang for your buck. Garage storage systems can finally get you back to the point where you can actually park your car in your garage.

Garage cabinet systems range from simple sets with just three pieces to packages with twelve or more parts. This gives you a wide range of options for your garage setup. Plus, they provide a workspace as well as ample storage.

There’s one big factor you need to keep in mind with garage cabinet sets: price. Cabinet kits can get very expensive very quickly. However, in the grand scheme of things, that price can be worth the peace of mind knowing that everything is in its place, including your car.

Now that you know the different types of organization systems that are out there, how can you tell which ones are better than others? Here’s a hint: it’s all about the construction and how it will hold up to the environment.

While shopping around, you will want to consider the environment in which you will install these garage cabinets. If your garage is climate controlled and moisture controlled, then any garage organization system can be used. But if you don’t have a climate-controlled garage, you will need to pay attention to the type of materials used to make the storage cabinets.

Garage storage cabinets made from metal are the best to weather moisture and climate. Steel can withstand all those changes without a problem. Even better, the durable construction of a metal cabinet ensures that you can store heavy items without worry about shelves bending or breaking.

Top-rated steel cabinets include:

• American Heritage Single Door Tall Cabinet: This single door tall cabinet can be used on its own or as part of the American Heritage Series Storage System.
• NewAge Bold Series 6-pc Cabinet Set: Built with heavy-duty steel frames for extra-strength, these cabinets can handle anything you need to store, from power tools to equipment.
• American Heritage 2-Door Jumbo Cabinet: This American Heritage 2-Door Jumbo Cabinet offers plenty of storage space, and can be used on its own or as part of the American Heritage Series Storage System.

Garage storage cabinets constructed with MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) have a laminate film that protects them in garages that aren’t climate controlled, but there is one major drawback. If the protective laminate film gets scratched, moisture can get into the board.

This can cause the board to degrade over time. If your cabinets do get scratched, make sure you try to fill in the scratch and ensure the MDF does not come in contact with the concrete subfloor. Concrete is porous, and that is where most moisture issues originate.

Top-rated MDF cabinets include:

• Ulti-MATE Garage 2.0 9-PC Kit w/ Bamboo Worktop: With nearly 18 feet of storage space, this cabinet is great for both residential and commercial use.
• Ulti-MATE Garage 2.0 Series 4-Drawer Base Cabinet: Ulti-MATE's Garage 2.0 Series 4-Drawer Base Cabinets are the perfect complement to any garage's décor.
• Ulti-MATE Garage 2.0 Series 4-PC Wall Cabinet Kit: Available in several contemporary colors, these cabinets will provide you with ample storage space to hide all of your treasures.

Not all garage cabinets are created the same. Some products, especially metal cabinets, will come to you already assembled. You just have to place them or secure them to the wall. However, other cabinets require assembly before you can get to the fun part of actually organizing your stuff.

So what’s the difference here? Why are some cabinets pre-built while others aren’t? A lot of it can depend on material (it would be pretty hard to weld a cabinet together all on your own), but there’s also price to consider. Building a cabinet out of parts might not sound like a lot of fun, but it can save you money since a pre-built cabinet is going to cost more money for the convenience.

Ultimately, you just need to remember that cabinets can come two ways, and you’ll want to decide which option is better for you. When your cabinet finally arrives, the last thing you want is to open the box and find a bunch of cabinet parts when you were expecting a pre-assembled product. To avoid this unnecessary stress, be sure to check a product’s details to see if it comes pre-assembled or not.
