Anyone have a lead on rectangular crates?
All,
Does anyone have any leads on rectangular plastic crates? All of the ones now on ebay or amazon are around $40 or more. I'd really prefer to get a rectangular one but I'll downsize to square if its significantly cheaper. Either way it needs to be strong enough to have a three rod holder mounted to the side. Thanks! |

Thanks Bob, I just checked their site and it seems like only selected stores carry them, and no option to order it online. Bummer.
I did however find this place: https://www.milkcratesdirect.com/ Apparently you can buy them for $8 and pay $15 for shipping. Looks like the best deal so far..... |

I need a few more small things so I should be able to get free shipping out of the deal too. Thanks everyone! |

Went by The Container Store this weekend and came across this gem. Looks like I've got a project on my hands!
https://www.containerstore.com/s/gre...004082&q=crate I got the large one and the lid. Plan is to make a "on the cheap" knockoff BlackPak so when I hit La Jolla for the first time I dont donate all my gear to mother earth. LOL Addition to the Innovations thread to come this weekend.... - KT |

Those look really good. The lid is nice. I'll have to check them out. The only problem I can see is if the latch contains metal. If it does, it's going to rust out quickly. |

I got mine from a family owned produce shop. I just went in and asked if they had any extra (which they always do) and got one for free.
