After my recent Holland Track trip I realised that I needed to have a better storage solution than space cases and roof bars.
So a drawer system would seem the perfect way to carry all those essential items around and make them easily accessible.
Having made a few phone call it was quickly apparent that even at the cheaper end of the market I would be looking at a couple of grand $$$$ to get what I wanted.....Solution Build my own.
I worked out what size I wanted to make the drawers and draw up some plans then off to bunnings for some raw materials.
I went online and found an Hardware supplier for the Drawer Sliders and other hardware, locks and flush mount tie downs, etc and up to now the cost is under $400.....I anticipate the total cost complete will be under $500.
BOM:
3 x 2400 x 1200 x 15 mm structural ply wood
1 outdoor wood glue
2 " wood screws
4 x 913mm 125kg drawers slides
2 x flush mount locking latches
4 x rated flush mount tie downs
Items still to buy:
Carpet to cover
spray Adhesive
Black spray paint to paint the visible areas outside.
I only ordered the hardware on Monday ss still awaiting its arrival here are some photos of the build to date and I will post more as the build progresses.
