I also got one of these and bolted it to the wall. I caulked the interior and also used some plasti dip to make it as waterproof as possible.
$79-10= 73 after tax for the cabinet.
Had the caulk and plasti dip.
Outdoor version made by suncast was $149

Re: Downsized and making the best of my storage options
That's some great space saving, I am sure it will help a lot of guys. Thanks for sharing.
Detailing is a way of life, not a hobby!

The shoe hanger is a great idea.

That's it.
For the lawn mower, weedeater, leaf blowers, saws, power tools, shop vacs, and the big stuff, the ever growing detailing collection.
I don't have tons of pics but I got some of those sterelite drawers and a Plano plastic shelf today and had to modify it but the shoe hanger is my greatest innovation ever. I'm very proud of this and think that it will help lots of folks.
It cleared 2 of my 22x14 shelves and I am trying to stay organized not cluttered.
Any tips would be appreciated.
I'm also including some pics of my shelves i built into the outdoor storage closet.

Congrats on the new house! And great idea using a hanging shoe storage unit! Lot of weight hanging off the door though. You might want to make sure there is at least one long screw grabbing into the jack stud on each hinge.

Thanks guys. I originally had planned on using small bottles but got carried away. Weight was definitely my first concern.
I will take the door out tomorrow and see what length screws are in there. Any recommendation on what size I should use?
I was going to take a 4" PVC pipe and cut sections out to hold spray bottles but they would weigh more than the shoe hanger.
If anyone is trying to adapt this, it's sill a good option to use on the wall. I have some 3m mounting tape across the sides and bottom to prevent it from flying all over the place

Re: Downsized and making the best of my storage options
I'm always amazed at what one can do to reduce space when needed. At my previous house I had come from a 2000 sq ft garage with 3 bays to a 28'x32' garage. When I started every wall was lined with toolboxes, welders, cabinets, carts, ect.
I slowly got it whittled down to only one wall covered by storage 24" deep.
