Chemical storage shelf ideas

[free07110]

Been using this cheap metal shelf for years to put my chemicals in the shop. I’m tired of looking at this mess. What are you guys doing for chemical in your garage?

I buy cookie sheets for her birthday.

Then I grab the old ones and put it under the cans to catch the inevitable leaks and spills.

Bought a real fire cabinet. Picked it up used for a good price.

I also bought a real fire cabinet, but it wasn’t a deal. I got tired of waiting for a used one and finally bought new after five years of needing one.

Mine is way classier. I have a milk crate and a cardboard box I use for non-combustible on the same industrial shelves. I do have a repurposed metal cabinet for my paint stuff.

I’d love to see some good options for this. My challenge, NO WALL SPACE

Hanging tool cabinets from HFT.

I don't--and wouldn't--store highly flammables in these, at least not while they're mounted inside my garage.

Lockers and flammables cabinets.

Currently using a shelf very similar to yours, just a bit less-populated, which allows it to be a bit more organized.

^^^ Same here. Did pay more than I wanted to...

Personally use the same except sorted by small trays / boxes.
If you want to hide them a cabinet would obviously be better. Could even get a fire / chemical storage style one, though they tend to be pretty pricey new.

Eagle Mfg 60gal Corrosive Storage Cabinet. Fire safe + corrosive containment. 30"x30"x60". I have an older one, the new model (identical) is CRA62X

My garage isn't that big, so a cabinet outside has all of that. It used to sit on a shelf inside and it was oily and dirty. The cabinet is a steel 2 door office cabinet with adjustable shelves.

I have no problem with having flammable product containers in my garage or even near my welding are. A few products do stay inside, including acetone for cleaning before tig welding aluminum. Isopropyl alcohol, brake cleaner, tapping fluid, penetrating spray, etc are all out in the open. As long as they don't leak, all is fine. There isn't much flammable material in my garage.
