The assembly of such a design for tools is performed in this way:

1. First, the back wall is installed, which is often made of hardboard.
2. Then they make a frame and check it for strength and stability. After that, the internal filling of such furniture begins. Holes should be drilled on the parts, into which the shelves are fastened with screws.
3. A rod is mounted on special flanges. Later, drawers and drawers are inserted into the product.
4. The final stage of work is the installation of door leaves. Particular attention must be paid to installing a mirrored door.

The back wall must be attached around the entire perimeter with screws, the last stage of assembly is the installation of the cabinet in the place where it will stand constantly.

How to position tools in the cabinet

There are different ways to arrange tools in such a cabinet. Plastic canisters can be used to store small tools, such as tools, bolts and nuts.
In order to store screwdrivers, craftsmen make a narrow shelf out of wood, and holes are created in it.

A wooden stand on the wall of the structure is suitable for storing screwdrivers and pliers.

Under the ceiling, you can hang a metal rod with which paint brushes are stored. For storage of wrenches, a special rack is used. Spray paints - an open wooden cabinet.

Sometimes in the cabinets they install a pallet for storing garden tools. And for a power tool, a simple wooden block is often used, on which metal hooks are suspended.
