I’m after a covered/close-able storage unit for inside the barn to hold all my lotion and potion bottles. Most of which are too tall for the standard B&Q plastic drawer style ones. I don’t have the strength to deal with a filing cabinet so I wondered if anyone had a recommendation?

I just use a large filing cabinet. Have one for medical, next drawer for feet (shoe pulling kit, poultice kit and hoof dressings), next one for tack cleaning and next one for horse cleaning. Labelled with marker pen on outside and can find everything very quickly and it’s stored safely.

I also have a smaller filing cabinet - 2 drawers for drugs and haynets. A bit random but I literally hate haynets which are not folded and wrapped and put away.

My preference for pretty much everything is really useful boxes with lids on a shelving unit. Keeps everything seperate and clean and can be carried where needed.

I have this knock off one for my big fly sprays, I liked the handle on the top

Thanks for all the suggestions, many are close, but I need over 1ft/30cm depth to get the bottles in so it's looking like I might have to go the filing cabinet route.

I have a metal shelving unit that you can change the height of the selves on. The ones you have in the garage at home. I use plastic boxes. I can get 2 on each shelf. I don't have lids on the shampoo/washing ones but the shelf is a good 'cover' to keep the dust and dirt mostly out of it. I also find the bathing/washing boxes get a bit smelly if they are put away with a lid as invariably everything is a little damp when it goes away the 'no lid' storage helps with ventilation. The first aid etc etc all have lids to keep everything inside as clean as possible.
