Kitchen Units in Garage...
Discussion
Thinking about putting kitchen units into a detached (relatively new build) garage - thought they could offer a good means of tidy storage.
I was just wondering given the lack of heat etc. In the garage (they'll be at ambient external temp) would they begin to rot etc.?
If so, any alternatives?
TIA

I've got the cheap Wickes off the shelf ones too, no problems.
At eye level, you should have room for another layer on top. I've got 2 rows x 5 double wall units, and a small space (before the boarded ceiling) for timber lengths etc on top.
Brilliant - I'll pop to Wickes on the weekend to check out quality, style, size and pricing At eye level, you should have room for another layer on top. I've got 2 rows x 5 double wall units, and a small space (before the boarded ceiling) for timber lengths etc on top.

I was going to suggest finding someone who is having a new kitchen and have to old ones... I think we ended up selling our entire kitchen including appliances for £300 and that was much more sturdy than the cheap chipboard ones
I've checked on ebay without much luck - if anyone knows of anything let me know!!!I went down the ebay route and the IKEA PS cabinet range which are metal, not great pictures but give you an idea. There often on ebay and about £15 a go, the long horizontal ones are suppossed to be TV cabinets, I just took the legs off.

Surely the only way to kit out a garage / man cave is with old units that have just been ripped out of someones kitchen? Any imperfections can be covered with stickers or pictures of cars.
This! Mine are ripped out of a kitchen from the 70's and the worktop from our old kitchen fitted in the 90's covered in oil, stickers, glue and all other kinds of stuff! Have a bench vice mounted there too that holds up surpisingly well!
