Cabinets VS. Monkey Bar Storage System
For most families, the garage is more than just a carport. Whether your garage doubles as a laundry room, a workshop, or a man-cave there's bound to be more than just the family vehicle occupying your garage. Unfortunately, without the right storage layout most of the extra stuff can end up on the floor, generally in stacks or simply strewn about.
If you're planning an all out attack on the clutter in your garage, you'll first need to decide what type of storage system to use. Have you considered cabinets? They may be an attractive and useful storage system for the kitchen and bathroom, but let's take a look at the practical use of cabinets in the garage.
Cabinets
Inch for inch, cabinets in the garage are going to take up more space than they can provide. Items in the garage are usually packed into totes or bins and labeled. Totes are generally at least a foot wide and several feet long. That's going to take up a lot of shelf space in a cabinet. Have you also considered the fact that if a storage bin is even slightly wider than the shelf, the cabinet door won't close?
Cabinets also generally sit on the ground. They take up precious floor space, while drastically reducing the amount of room to park your vehicle. Cabinets are pretty, but impractical for bicycle storage and heavy items as well. What about moisture? Most garage shelves are constructed from pressed particle board which is susceptible to moisture. If a shelf swells, it is basically useless.
Monkey Bars
The Monkey Bar system offers wall mounted shelves that allow you to make the most use of your wall space. Large totes can be easily stored all the way to the ceiling while bikes and garden tools can hang from our sturdy hooks directly underneath the shelves. This frees up 100% of your floor space, while making the most of every inch of wall space. Everything can be clearly seen and is easily accessible. Nothing is hidden in the shadows like it will be in a dark cabinet.
Since Monkey Bars are made out of steel, they are equipped to handle the elements and are not affected by moisture. The Monkey Bar system is also designed to handle even your heaviest items. Every four feet of shelving can handle 1,000 lbs, and the sturdy racks which hang below the shelving can hold 200 lbs for every 4 feet.
Pound for pound and inch for inch, the Monkey Bar System is a smart decision. The lifetime warranty makes it an even better deal. This is the only storage system you'll ever need to purchase for your garage.
When you add all of these features together with the fact that each Monkey Bar storage system is unique to the individual owner, you've got quite a deal. No cookie-cutter programs here. We measure and plan out what will work best for each customer. We also do all of the installation, so all you'll have to do is decide what item is going on which shelf. Pretty simple.
Are you still wondering whether cabinets were the better storage choice? I didn't think so.
