Where to buy Wall units for garage?

[ukzz4iroc]

Have a recently finished garage and need lots of cupboards with doors for the walls to keep my Tamiya collection safe amongst other things

Can find MFI 1200mm units on ebay but with no doors. I need the doors and that approximate width and a bit of depth. any ideas on how to buy some cheap?

Then it's paint time and have seen a few good posts on what paints to use etc.

Thanks

For a garage?

1. Head to Wickes/B&Q
2. Approach member of staff
3. Say "I'll have an assortment of your very cheapest, buidget kitchen units please"
4. Pay
5. Load into car, take home and install.
6. (If you really have to) paint them.

How about a second hand kitchen. You must know someone getting a new kitchen soon or a kitchen fitter. I have great units from a house that got a new kitchen

This would be the dream, but typically nobody I know is getting a new kitchen...

Have a look on Gumtree or Freecycle (or Freegle) and see if anyone's getting rid of a kitchen. Even try eBay, as we bought an entire kitchen on there for a fixer-upper, solid wood, all appliances, worktops, sink etc for under a grand. You'll be surprised at what you might find!

I love this site, thanks for the pointers all. Have a good day

Likewise, love this site for ideas....

I also did the ebay route for wall units - bought half a kitchen for a £5 - used what I needed and then dumped the rest.

If your on a budget - Wickes garage floor paint is a good choice - I looked around myself when ours was built and found this best.

Then a mahoosive tub of white to do the walls.... 3 times cause it soaks in so quickly.... even after sealing it.!!

good luck

Toolsttion is usually a lot cheaper than Wickes, B&Q, etc... for the same quality.

An old kitchen would do a good job. Or as suggested above Toolstation might have something that suits a garage. I bought these cabinets from Costco a couple of years ago, which I think are ideal for a garage and are even lockable, but not sure if they still stock them or anything similar now:

Ikea are doing an 800mm wide double cupboard with door etc for £58 if that helps.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was refering to paint materials. Toolstation don't do kitchen cabinets.

Find your local Howden's and see if they're throwing out any old stuff. They regularly do it here.
