How to Make a Pigeon Hole Cabinet in 2020

 


Instead of using expensive hole racks, our pigeon hole racks use full-length dividers to create the individual open-fronted sections, this simple but powerful design allows each shelf height to be fixed relative to the items being stored - providing a manageable solution that can adapt to an ever-changing stock profile. When your stock profile carries a wide variety of different items, pigeon-hole racks shelving systems provide a practical and cost-effective storage solution - perfect for improving stock-picking duties whilst maintaining good levels of stock visibility.

Built from the same high-quality components as our range of Trimline stockroom shelving, these pigeon-hole racks come in a range of sizes to suit practically any application but are most common with high road retailers who need huge quantities of stock in what are often very small markets areas. Slim posts and small beams combine to offer a class-leading storage solution that can be combined into even the most rigidly shaped stock rooms.

The photos below show a first fashion retailer utilizing long runs of this style of racking in the stockroom, storing a high number of SKU's in an open-plan style that is very user friendly.

Retailers who mainly sell clothing can maximize storage space by using pigeon hole racks that are the same shape and size, others profit from a mixture of different sizes to provide more varied stock profiles.

The picture shown is taken from a high street fashion retailer's stockroom where they have made excellent use of the pigeon hole rack storage system combined into the standard Trimline shelving system. This smart use of space includes standard shelves, mid-section cubby holes, and garment hanging to offer a comprehensive all-in-one storage solution.

As stock ranges and buying courses change, the shelves and forms can be easily altered when required thanks to the simple bolt-less design that requires no special devices to collect or adjust. As a general rule, static pigeon hole racks like the ones shown costs around £130 per running meter but each project is unique and we suggest that you provide us with your storage requirements so that we can provide you with an accurate selection.


Steps to Make Pigeon Hole Cabinet

Step 1 - Dimensions

Select the dimensions of your cabinet unit. This depends mostly on the type of objects you plan to store inside the pigeon hole cabinet. The place and area you have accessible and where you shall be putting the unit will also play an essential part in this arrangement.

Step 2 - Material and Cost Considerations

Make up your mind on what type of stuff you will use to make your pigeon hole racks. The most popular material is obviously wood, although there are other options such as steel or metal. In this situation, we will focus on using wood though, and you should certainly choose the type of wood such as pine, oak, fiberboard, etc, according to your budget.

Step 3 - Purchase the Materials

Purchase the wood according to the dimensions you decided upon, and also the other instruments and stuff you will need. Determine whether you will ask someone to cut the wood for you according to your dimensions, or whether you are able to cut them out yourself. In such a situation make sure that you pay attention to some protective measures such as goggles and gloves.

Step 4 - Collectinginto Box Shapes and Painting

You have all the wood lumber cut out, set them up in box patterns in sequence to set up your pigeon hole cabinet unit. However, previous to doing this, if you wish to brush up your unit in a particular color this is a perfect time. So, in case you opt to paint it up simply use paint and a paintbrush to paint the boards of wood before joining them in box shapes, as it would be much easier to paint up all the edges and it would guarantee a more reliable result.

Step 5 - Use Some Wood Putty

It is best to make use of some wood putty to the cabinet holes where the bolts are set so as to have smoother finishes. If you had opted to paint the wood you may also want to give a last layer of paint in order to cover the bolts.

Step 6 - Set Up as a cabinet Unit

Collect all the parts into a unit. Begin by joining the bottom pigeon-hole cabinet elements to a metal holding plank fixed to the wooden base. Then move onto making the top parts, and finally the middle ones.
