Kitchen Units in Garage...

[steve singh]

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

Thanks everyone - plan is to attach at eye level on the garage wall so sounds like I should be ok...I'll check out the metal variety recommended too

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

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!!!
