Storage - recommendations and/or tips?

[SunshineTallulah]

Can anyone recommend where to get storage trunks / cabinets to go outside the stable or in the tack room?

What do you use and where did you buy it from?

Appreciate your replies!

Thanks

Argos do storage trunk things (meant for garden furniture cushions etc) they do the job and are about £30.

B&Q used to do good ones. I've been lucky and found big old boarding school style trunks on the tip!

Are these water proof?????

If so would be ideal for rugs and such.

I bought a slim wardrobe type thing from B&Q a year ago now, it's ment for garden tools but is fab for horsey stuff. It's waterproof with a shelf and I keep my grooming kit, first aid kit, buckets, half bags of feed and rugs in it. I also attached sticky hooks to the insides of the doors for head collars and empty haynets. It takes up hardly any room and has a lock option if needed! I don't know whether there still available now though.

That's the one - so long as you don't overfill them they don't bulge at the edges and let water and rodents in!

Thanks Scotsmare, think I'll have to invest in one.

What about old chest freezers, take the seal off the lid tho. You should be able to pick them up for next to nothing. In the past I've used an old wardrobe, ok not good for outside.
