A garage cabinet organizer is a must for all home owners with a garage. It is a convenient utility product. The market is full of different types of cabinets: the cheap ones for a casual home owner as well as the expensive ones which can last a lifetime. If you peep into your garage, you will find that you have stored a number of things in it like tools, garden equipment, wires, ropes, Christmas decorations, old newspapers and magazines, car maintenance material etc.

There are many options when it comes to garage storage and if you are looking for garage cabinets, then plastic cabinets are definitely an option if you are looking to save money but still have a nice look to your garage space. With the lower price point however, comes some problems that you will not find in say metal garage cabinets. When you look at the pros and cons of plastic garage cabinets, you will be able to see if they do not offer some things that you may be looking for in a storage solution, or if the price is low enough that you are willing to settle for what they offer.

A very inexpensive type of garage cabinet commonly used is plastic resin. Plastics are extremely durable, stain and chemical resistant, waterproof and do not rust. Common plastics used are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Though plastic cabinets are the most affordable they provide the least number of options in terms of design and style. They come free standing, rolling or can hang on bare walls or slat wall systems. Load capacities vary but plastic garage cabinets should be utilized for light duty storage only.

Why do you need cabinets for the garage? The Garage is a usually a damp and dark place. Well installed garage storage cabinets prevent various equipment and machines from getting damaged from moisture, pests and other destructive forces. Garage cabinets are a proper and systemized place for the storage of your important tools, which once installed enable you to save time and effort by giving each article its designated place. You have the flexibility to compartmentalize the cabinets into big and small drawers according to your needs. Wrenches, screwdrivers or paint brushes can be stored in smaller drawers instead of the big sized drawers so they do not get lost hidden between many other tools. They all look pretty much the same when they are in a pile!

On the flip side, there are several disadvantages to owning plastic garage containers that may make you want to consider some other alternatives: 1. Weight Load - plastic cabinets are not going to be able to carry as much weight as steel cabinets do. Overtime, if you load down the cabinets with heavy items, the plastic shelves will become warped. 2. Doors - as time goes on, plastic cabinets with locks or latches become harder to close and eventually will warp. One of the benefits of going with garage cabinets over garage shelves is the ability to lock up things out of reach from the children. If a latch or lock is going to stop working over time, you lose out on one of the key benefits of the storage. 3. Durability - over time, plastic can become broken or damaged. There is a chance after several years you may be looking to replace them if you do not treat them properly when taking items out or putting things away. 4. Stains - while plastic shelves are easy to clean, if there is a chemical spill, depending on the type of liquid, it can stain the cabinets, thus ruining the color and the appearance.

However cabinets do not have to cost a fortune and can easily be installed yourself with a few simple tools. Garage cabinets are modular, meaning you can pick and choose from a number of sizes (modules) to suit your needs or to fit around existing obstructions such as hot water heaters, switches or doors. We will look at a few different cabinet styles and discuss the advantages of each type.
