Not sure if this fits the category but I was having storage issues. I have a closet in the hallway with two sliding glass mirrored doors. The problem is that the doors might be 20 inches wide but by the time you open the door you could only get about 14 inches of width in the opening to move things in and out and it was a real pain in the butt.
I took the doors off and threw them away. I then got a metal baker's rack that took up most of the space inside. The rack has adjustable shelves. I used a few screws and big washers to go through the shelving into the walls. This holds the rack very securely. I was then able to put two of the larger ,clear storage bins, with the snap on lids, on each shelf and then on the floor beneath the rack. The closet now has room for ten of these bins plus I have several inches on each side between the rack and walls to put other items.
I use bungy cords to secure the bins and it works great since the rack has all kinds of attachment points for the bungies.
So now, when we are going on a trip, we take the empty bins we need into the house, fill them up and put them back on the shelf.
The bins I use are the three pack bins at Costco for about $18.
Unfortunately, I had to use a sliding accordion door from Lowe's. Cost was about $20 and it does look cheap. I might try some type of curtain option but for some reason the wife was against it at first.
I will take a picture and post it here soon.
