Very nice. You should look into using QR codes to label what's in your totes. I just built an outdoor tote rack system and I took photos of the items in each of the totes then uploaded them to my website and printed QR codes that linked to each photo. So now if I ever need to know whats in the tote, I just scan the QR code with my phone and it opens the photo of the contents of that tote on my phone. It's great to have when one of my other family members are looking for something, they don't have to dig through each tote, they just scan the QR code.

[@SamberStyle]

Thanks. That is a very smart idea, thanks for sharing. Might try that down the line. For now, printed labels will do the job.

[@davidbeard4020]

What did you use to create the QR code? Was it a hosted site?

[@Just-My-Luck]

Dang! This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@SamberStyle]

Thank You!

[@flem1064]

Very helpful video and not a time waster. Appreciate you keeping it to the point and providing the measurements

[@SamberStyle]

Thank you, glad it was helpful! Try to keep it short and informative. Appreciate the feedback!

[@Lee-mmg]

I will be building this! Absolutely. So easy! Thank you!

[@SamberStyle]

Soooo glad you think this will be helpful Lee! Let us know how it goes! Now we are invested 😂

[@oscartango]

Thanks. Great video. I’m drawing mine out now. It will be 4 bents. I’m going to add casters and sheeting. Wall locker style. Mine will be for garage storage. Planning to add Milwaukee pack out wall mounts on the ends.

[@SamberStyle]

Thank you! Sounds like you gonna have a nice setup!

[@lawrencetisdall9850]

What a Great Video !!! Thanks SO Much !!!

[@SamberStyle]

Awesome, glad you like it! And happy to help!

[@Gary-uq2gj]

Nice work sam!

[@SamberStyle]

Thanks G

[@notthatCJ6]

Very helpful, I plan to build this with my son for 2 places at our house. I'm going to do 5 wide x 4 high for the totes and add casters to the bottom of the frame so we can move it around or out of the way if need be.

[@SamberStyle]

Thats awesome! Sounds like a great idea to be able to move it around!

[@cabezamiami]

Great job. Next step would be to paint it dark gray snd it would look even better

[@SamberStyle]

That’s a GREAT idea!

[@markehooker]

Nice job!

[@SamberStyle]

Thank you! It was a game changer for sure 😂

[@SamberStyle]

Thanks

[@hasanalhasani]

This looks so good. Thanks mate.

[@SamberStyle]

Thank You so much! Really made a world of difference in cleaning up the space and having everything organized.

[@hasanalhasani]

@@SamberStyle I was planning to buy metal shelves. But now am gonna use your design. So I could imagine it was helpful 👍😎 the only problem, i have to convert everything to cm 🤣🤣

[@SamberStyle]

@@hasanalhasani luckily there aren’t to many measurements, so should be good. I am Originally from South Africa, and it took me a while to get used to inches and feet (so confusing) but now thats all i work with. Good luck with your build.

[@hasanalhasani]

@@SamberStyle I can imagine. You are so kind and nice. I wish you good luck. You have gained a subscriber today 😎👍

[@SamberStyle]

@@hasanalhasani thank you for the support! Really much appreciated!

[@DaniMetzger]

omg I dont even have a house but I need this in my life

[@SamberStyle]

Hahahahaha right?!?!?! Absolutely game changer!

[@tro8191]

Not bad at all! I followed an easy one from Ana White which is good for different size bins… cause I’m too cheap to buy new ones lol. Great work!!👍

[@SamberStyle]

Thanks! Yeah thats a good idea!! We also had a bunch of different sizes and colors. I Just prefer a cleaner look. All preference.

[@alvincarterm4]

How strong are the totes? How heavy of materials can you put in each tote?

[@SamberStyle]

The totes themselves are very sturdy and can handle weight. Ive loaded them up almost to heavy to lift and they are pretty solid.

[@rauldino2895]

Do you have the materials list? How many of each lumber did you endup using?

[@SamberStyle]

I did mention it at the end of the video also in one of the comments. It is going to depend on how you want to build yours. You can also do a quick pause on the video and just count them! Really basic design and straight forward. Good luck with your build.

[@caitriley1255]

Okay…but how would you build this for an outdoor carport… with no enclosed sheds or garage I am desperate for storage space! I was thinking this but entirely pressure treated and wrapped in cedar fence boards - making some doors for the front. Am I crazy? My only concern is climate changes like humidity and temperatures. The outside wall under the carport doesn’t get any snow or direct rain *except for drainage on the bottom.. hence why pressure treated would be the only way to go.. Help! My dad was always my project resource and he’s no longer with us 😢.. I feel like this could be done…

[@kennethspengler9934]

You should keep in mind that the plastic storage containers will break down in time if exposed to sunlight.

[@SamberStyle]

You are not crazy! Sounds like a good idea to me. Its gonna be heavy building it with treated and wrapping it with cedar, but if i was to build something like that i would do it like you said, and just make sure its watertight. If its enclosed the plastic containers will be just fine and not exposed to the sun and elements!👍🏻

[@caitriley1255]

@kennethspengler9934 one of the reasons I would enclose it - also just for security. While I wouldn't store expensive irreplaceable items, don't want an invitation

[@caitriley1255]

@@SamberStyle thank you! I'm definitely going to try it out this summer.

[@PokeDKShow]

What are the three sizes of wood again?

[@SamberStyle]

31” for the “sliders”. Header/footer 113(112 7/8). Studs 78”.👍🏻

[@PokeDKShow]

@@SamberStyle thank you!

[@eileenmangabat6700]

What is the length size for sliders?

[@SamberStyle]

31”-32”

[@deckgun31]

31". Remember, he cut them to this length so he could get 3 full sliders from one 8' stud. You cannot get 3 at 32" from a 96" stud because you have to allow for the blade width. The last slider would be less than 32".
