Afternoon All . . .

Amazon preferred & after recommendations for plastic storage boxes which don't have fragile lids so can be stackable.

If they can be stacked inside each other when empty would be a bonus.

Will pop to Robert Dyas & see what they have to offer...

Other sizes are available.

Really Useful are the dogs, but they don't stack inside each other. If you want the flip over lid commercial type look on FBM as there are thousands for sale cheap.

Not Amazon, but Wham Heavy Duty storage boxes are ace, and Halfrods sell them, often on discount.

I have quite a few to store stuff fin the garage and loft. Heavy duty, various sizes (16L - 92L), stackable with lids on, and due to their shape they stack inside each other with the lids off.

I have some. They certainly feel sturdy.

I bought some of those last Christmas, I was livid when I found out they were giving them away shortly after!

Thanks for the replies folks smile

Those 92L Whams . . . are they nestle-able when empty? They look like they might be. . .

I have this design

They are really good, we use them on holiday road trips

We line them all up in the lounge with labels, food, clothes, kitchen, bathroom, toys etc etc

As you prepare for holiday you drop items in, then when it comes to leave we can genuinely load the car in 5 minutes

Get to the other end and you are done quickly

I d try and find them locally on Facebook or something and buy more than you think you ll need since they stack nicely


There is a nice little hole so you can lock them shut with cable ties, great if putting them in a loft

It’s so I can rotate the box and carry it at silly angles without my big collection of anal beads spilling out into the loft insulation

When the lids are off, the boxes stack inside each other. The tops of the lids are shaped so that the base of the box stacked on top fits into it securely

Wilkos used to see them, so might be available elsewhere but postage charges might restrict you from ordering online for deliver. Halfords had these in their sale earlier this year so may do again.
