Storage unit for shampoo and flyspray bottles etc

[Alibear]

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?

What about a bathroom cabinet?

Something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxi-Nature-Kitchenware-Plastic-containers/dp/B076ZS9Q9C

You just need to work out what your tallest bottle is, and then find drawers deep enough

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.

Mr M adapted a shelf unit we had. i don’t have better pictures but it has 4 shelves made to fit spray bottles etc

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

Kallax unit and add doors

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.

You could do a lot worse imo - filing cabinets are stable and sturdy and cheap on fb

What about this? I cant find the measurements for the individual drawers but it's 62cm overall and it looks like the tall one is at least half the height?

I have an old pine bookcase hooked to the wall and a variety of plastic boxes for various items. You could also go for stacking crates with lids from B&Q.

I use stacking crates in different colours.

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.
