Wall + Tool Cabinet buffer

[havinnoj]

Hi guys - 60" roll cab sitting with its "back to wall" - but need to space it 2.5-3" from the wall itself. What can I fill this gap with? Obvious answer is a wood ledger, but wondering if anyone has other ideas to consider. TIA

Get some strips of aluminum diamond plate & frame out the back of the box. If you don't want to put screws into the box epoxy some corner blocks to attach the diamond plate to.

Make a new top that 3" larger.

I have been meaning to get around to making one. A sheet of 3/4 plywood and a sheet of galvanized steel..I know a furnace guy that I could get the sheet meatal from and just contact cement them together.

Get a piece of 3" channel iron, weld on something to allow it to hook on the back of the toolbox with the U facing up, like how the side cabinets hang. Then you can use it for holding spray cans all in a neat row.

I kind of like this approach. Attached to the wall with added function.

Is the spacing for the top to open?

I'd try and make use of the space. Possibly storage for long tools (prybars, air nozzle, broom....)

if it's a tall combo he can store plywood behind.
