[Wanted: Parts] Wanted: Waetherproof storage box for storing tools.

[Endfloat]

One of the joys of living at home with the folks is the fact that there is 2 sheds, both full of shite and nowhere for me to store my tools. I am looking for an alternative solution, and was thinking along the lines of one of those big Jobox things that you see on the backs of lorries, but they're stupidly expensive. I want something weatherproof that I can put my tools in and leave outside without them getting destroyed by the weather. Has anyone got anything?

B&Q or Woodies sell plastic sheds about 4ft long 3ft high and 2.5ft wide, they have two front doors and the roof lifts up as well. they are about €200

Maybe a plastic coal bunker. May get a bargain at this time of year

Oddly enough I was thinking of that.

Brian, I had a look at a thing in woodies called a cushion box which is used for storing patio furniture cushions but it looked quite flimsy so I decided not to get it. I didn't see that shed you mentioned. I'd rather get something for around €100 though.

Sheds are for tools

 

[Endfloat]

Yes and when I have my own place my shed will be for my tools. In fairness though I'd make short work of filling a warehouse if I had one.

your mental to put good tools outside in a plastic box.When they go walkies let me know and ill pop doen to the athy market and buy em back for u,
buy plastic box and for all the crappy paint cans your folks have in the shed and claim a shelf for yourself

I'm not going to be leaving the box out the front. It will be beside the shed. Though you may have a point. There's probably a lot of shit that can go in the box leaving me space for my tools.

You have a welder.......make one.

Probably 100€ or so steel

 

[EvilMonkley]

You spelt weather wrong.
But aside from that I agree with Mr Bugnut it would be good practice.

Did you even think why them Jobox thingies are so expensive?!? You must be nuts to even think of storing yer tools in a plastic box. Out in the open.
May as well leave the box unlocked, save yourself the cost of the padlock.
Tell you what, hows about i call round to your place and you just give me yer tools, I can give you a kick in the bollocks and we'll call it evens?

No space in the Bus...it is a hightop!

Damien, much as that offer is enticing, I think I'll pass for the moment but if I ever do feel that I would benefit from a good kick in the nuts, you get first dibs.

I had been thinking of making my own box actually. It's another option. I'm leaning towards the coal bunker though, fecking all the shite from the shed into it and claiming a corner of the shed as my own.

 

[darragh]

thats the way to do it Ross, chances are the sheds are full of worthless junk

Thats the talk. Anytime!
Make up yer own box and put it in the shed. Make it as difficult as possible for any scrotes to nick.
