- In this video I go over a step by step tutorial showing how to build a storage rack for 102L liter totes. This storage rack can be custom made to any size. I show all the tools, and materials required for the build as well as go over the costs of the materials. This storage rack is super handy as you can slide the totes in and out and dont have to lift them everyime.

Week-end-warriors like me appreciate the details you provide in your videos. Thanks to you, I'll be able to build this relatively easily!
Glad you found it helpful! Appreciate the feedback
Simply excellent! Concise, thorough, clear, and complete! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Appreciate the feedback
That speed square/circular saw trick is awesome. Coming from a complete know nothing background, thats the kinda tips im looking for. Thanks dude.
Glad you found it helpful I post all kinds of tips and tricks on my social medias
Previous comment disappeared so here we go again... This is such a nice tutorial, best in class with no attempt to sell you crap. In an attempt to pay it forward I put together a spreadsheet to do the calculations for any bin design. A few improvements that are possible 1) Lower the position of the first rail so that that the lowest bin rides on the frame rather than the rail, this allows you to load ridiculous amount of weight in the bin without jeopardizing the bin or the rail 2) Run 2x4 or 2x3 brace at 30 degrees inside every few of the rail frames to stabilize front to back movement. 3) Run a 2.5x0.5" diagonal brace along the back to stabilize side-to-side movement with minimal impact to rack depth (not sure why Mr. Meyers ran 2x4s horizontally, even if you have to run multiple diagonal braces it is still much better than a horizontal one). 4) Increase the bin horizontal pitch slightly, seems that Home Depot has decreased the bin width a bit over the years so if you have a mixture of new and old bins and design very tightly the old bins may not fit. Google docs sheet posted in the response to this comment in case YT does not like it,
Hey thanks for taking time to comment! I appreciate the feedback and you have some good ideas. The diagonal braces would be a great idea but for simplicity I put a horizontal 2x4 at the top and bottom of the backside for extra strength / to prevent side to side movement.
I'd love to see the Google doc but I can't find it
groovy geek on the google email service. if you contact me there I will send you the doc
@@meyers.makes. Ugh, the algos scrubbed my most recent attempt. Let's try this again in a more roundabout way. Take my username; split it at the capitalization and separate with a dot. Send it to the email service operated by the company that owns this service. For example if my username is JohnDoe you would translate that to john.doe

I made a similar unit for my Hubs tool shop last year. I loke how your video is precise and to the point! Great job and an awesome usable idea!! Thank you!!
Thank you! Appreciate it
Pretty neat rack. Thank you.
Safety glasses though. Just sayin. 😂
Thank you for being so specific….
Glad it was helpful
If the bins are 15 1/2 inches tall, why did you do the first one from the bottom at 15 inches and then the rest at 16 inches
Where is your home depot? I've never seen boards that straight at mine!!!
I picked through the entire pile. Try a lumber yard better quality
Have you made any with wheels on them?
@@mando91349 not yet but you definitely could

Apologies for the rookie comment, but if your bins are 28 1/2" long, and your rails are only 27" long, wouldn't the bins stick out of the rack an 1 1/2" ?
The bins have a 1" lip on the front and back so they basically sit flush with the lip being like a handle
@@meyers.makes. ok makes sense. thanks for the reply. cheers.
Did you make 2 separate units and then screw them together for the 2 different size totes? It looks amazing btw :)
You got it!
strange question: do you cut at the line/outside the line at the front or back and consider the blade thickness?
What are the dimensions of the completed rack? Thanks
Roughly 11' wide x 7' tall
Nice.. what are you doing yo create the white labels?
Those are the home depot labels but a label maker would work or tape
@@meyers.makes. 👍🏼
