Coolidor organization

Lockspur · 03-24-2013, 09:33 PM

Just wanted to share my experience with these bamboo boxes. They're drawer organizers from the Container Store, and fit perfectly in my 152qt igloodor. They come in various sizes, and they're stackable. The 6" x 6" x 2" house robustos like they belong. I also use two 12" x 6" x 2" side-by-side on the shelves for the longer vitolas. $5 and $7 respectfully.

Pardon the mess...I'm in the beginning stages of organizing.

I bought a bunch for this and my 36qt project.

Patio is open 24/7. As is the beer fridge. As long as you're not allergic to dogs, all are welcome.

Adam...very punny....verrrrry punny.

Mac...that's three 10-packs. Had my first one today. There WILL be more coming.

Dunno, but I suspect gravity is holding them down.

Nice, broh. Looks like you got enough of a stash to last for the week anyway.

The 152 igloo has very shallow grooves, so I had to get creative. I'll post a close up in a little bit.

Concerning the collection, this is just the storage locker. I've got 2 desktops, with one large one on the way. Plus a 36qt igloo for boxes.

Did you just cut the shelves to size, or is their a particular place you purchased at the proper width? I have been using the same cooler, but not standing tall.

I made a template out of cardboard, then went to the Home Depot and asked them to cut down one of their shelves. The rear of the shelves fit in the grooves, and I use a wooden dowel to support it, and a dowel at the front of the slot to hold up the front of the shelf.

rear dowel (1/2" squared) is 13 15/16"

front dowel (5/8" squared) is 14 1/8"

rear of shelf cut to 13 3/4" WITHOUT the rubber caps

middle of shelf cut to 14 1/4" WITHOUT the rubber caps

front of shelf cut to 14 3/8" WITHOUT the rubber caps

The front dowel is going to be tight, just press it in so it's snug and won't pop out after giving it a tap or two.

Oh, I'm standing it up on top of an old nightstand, and used double-sided tape to keep it from sliding around.

Thanks a lot for the specs Scotty! I have a weekend project now! I will post pics for anyone else interested.

AdamJoshua · 03-25-2013, 10:42 PM

Really do like the standing it up effect, will be my next purchase when needed and yup copied your instructions.
