Default Garage Cabinets - Any Recommendations?

Does anyone have any suggestions for new garage cabinets, for or against? We prefer the metal ones but are open to suggestions.

Some friends of mine bought some "surplus" kitchen ones to build the bench - then "Sears" for the tools.
Just an idea - good luck!

Spending other folks money is one of my favorite things in the whole world! This is like the question - "How much will it cost to make my car faster?" Answer - "How fast do you want to go?"

That is the wrong site to see when one (me) is in the process of building a new house.

Looks like no hardwood floors, no sheetrock,awe heck...no electricity in the house either!

Home Depot sells decent, reasonably priced cabinets and base units. Not metal and not top of the line but effective.

I personally really like the Gladiator cabinets, and am strongly considering them. They're quite strong, and noderately priced. You can check them out at any Sears in their "man's" section.

About 5 years ago we did a major remodel. When upgrading the kitchen, all cabinets were removed/replaced. The old cabinets were installed in the new 30 x 40' heated garage. Has a floor drain with sand trap. Bib faucet with hot and cold running soft water is great for washing cars year round. The old sink was moved too This was probably the biggest wife pleaser. I do a lot of hunting and birds can go directly from the garage to the freezer and not in "her" kitchen. Apparently there is something about guts, lungs and feathers in the kitchen strainer that didn't appeal to her.
