In this article we review, what we think to be the storage cabinets for a garage, shed or workshop. It's very hard to know where to start here and even harder to know where to end. There are a wide range of different sizes with vastly different uses, so we will try to show you some of the various types you can get and will pick out the best options.
Our best advice is before buying any type of storage for your garage is to have a really good think about what you want to get organised in your garage. Is it somewhere to hold tools, to hold odds and ends such as painting equipment, to hold plant pots and the other many things knocking about your garage.
Once you know that, then buying the most suitable options becomes a great deal easier. In this article we are going to focus on storage cabinets and explain the options available.

- Measures 68x37.5x163.5 cm

- It has 2 doors and inside are 4 shelves - each shelf can hold a maximum weight of 20 Kg when spread evenly (the shelves are adjustable)

- This is NOT a heavy duty garage cabinet where you can store a lot of heavy tools, but it is a good choice for holding the many bits and pieces that you may have laying around your garage
This is a good general purpose cabinet that can be used in a garage. It takes about 30 minutes to assemble and the shelves can be easily adjusted in height. Please note this is a free standing cabinet and can not be bolted or screwed to the wall so a level surface is very important to set it on.

Best Storage Cabinet for a Garage Buying Guide
There is not too much to know about these tool racks as basically they are pretty simple. What we found to be important is as follows
- Stainless steel or steel that has been powder coated is always the best option It will be strong enough, won't bend or warp and is very unlikely to rust
- Door hinges are also an important consideration and you want these to be strong and well made so as they will last for a long time
- Think carefully and decide the height level of your shelves and what you would actually put on them. (Make sure they are height adjustable)
- Lastly, don't just start putting up pegs and feeling very happy with yourself. Have a rough plan of what way you want to lay the tools out. Especially with the longer tools like pry bars and saws
We hope you have enjoyed this article and will go ahead and get some of this racking, you won't regret it. Don't forget our best value choice is the HOMCOM 5-Drawer storage cabinet, in terms of size, quality of build and sheer value for money.
