4 Pieces Of Garage And Outdoor Storage Worth Buying From Harbor Freight In July

If you're looking for some outdoor and garage storage ideas to inspire you, Harbor Freight is a good place to start. This retailer is known for carrying tools, storage, and other hardware items at discounted prices throughout the year, saving you a massive amount of money compared to what you'd spend at other popular hardware stores. Additionally, Harbor Freight occasionally offers short-term coupons that provide even more savings.

Harbor Freight has a handful of different outdoor and garage storage products that with especially low prices heading into early July. A few of them even have Harbor Freight coupons associated with them, giving you extra savings, which expire July 5. The top inexpensive storage options at Harbor Freight include a storage rack for small parts, a wall-hanging tool cabinet, a rolling tool cabinet, and a portable soft-sided outdoor shed. These products are available for online shopping or in-store pickup.

By organizing your garage and outdoor spaces, you'll make it easier to find the tools and items you need. When you store items properly, you'll keep trips hazard off the floor, dangerous items hidden away from curious children, and outdoor essentials protected from the weather.

When organizing a garage, one of the most difficult organizational tasks can involve some of the smallest items. Storing nails, screws, and similar items can be a major challenge. Rather than using jars and other sealed containers that may not offer enough versatility for different-sized items, Harbor Freight has a more flexible option. The Storehouse 30-Bin Wall-Mount Parts Rack is available for only $14.99 through early July, thanks to a 25% coupon discount.

The bins consist of polypropylene plastic. The 18 smaller bins can hold up to 2 pounds of items, while the 12 larger bins can hold up to 3 ½ pounds of items. The bins are removable, so you can carry them to your worksite before returning them to the wall-mounted storage compartment. "For the price I could not find anything even remotely this good," one customer reviewer at Harbor Freight said.

Most of the negative reviews focused on the quality of the plastic materials. Several reviewers said the plastic backboard was warped, which made installation difficult. Additionally, some reviewers called the polypropylene plastic in the bins flimsy, meaning they couldn't support the expected weight of items.

One of the most popular brands at Harbor Freight for tool storage is U.S. General. The U.S. General Hanging Tool Cabinet gives you a lockable option for keeping your tools organized for a low price. It now costs $89.99 with a 10% discount coupon. "These are very good, especially for the price. I honestly believe you [aren't] going to find anything better. It would probably cost you $400 or more [for] each piece," one customer reviewer on the Harbor Freight website said.

Each of the three compartments in the hanging tool cabinet measures 23 ¾ by 15 ¾ inches, and each compartment has its own lock and two shelves. (The product's total width is 47 ¼ inches.) Each shelf can support a maximum weight of 20 pounds.

The biggest complaint among customer reviewers is that the interior pegboard doesn't have standard-spaced holes. Although the unit ships with six peg hooks, you unfortunately can't buy standard 1-inch peg hooks at the hardware store and add them for additiona storage because of the odd spacing.

When you want to take advantage of the benefits of small outdoor storage sheds for lawn equipment, motorcycles, or similar items, you can expect to pay about $1,900 to $8,200 for a wood-sided shed. A far cheaper option is the Coverpro 10-by-10-Foot Portable Shed, which costs $165 at Harbor Freight.

When you place the polyethylene fabric cover over the tubular steel frame, the outdoor shed is 8 feet tall with a coverage space of 10-by-10 feet. The polyethylene cover is water resistant with treatment for UV protection. It's "great for storing stuff temporarily [and] great to use as a little work shed when needed. [A] lot of options with this tent," said one Harbor Freight customer reviewer, who owns two of the sheds.

The biggest complaint among customers was the lack of longevity. Several users said they only received one year of performance from the cover before it needed replacement, while a few received two or three years. "I would recommend it over just a tarp," one customer reviewer said.

When you have a lot of tools to store but need them to be accessible throughout the garage for working on cars or other projects, Harbor Freight offers the U.S. General Series 3 Rolling Cabinet. It costs $360 after applying the $20 coupon.

Harbor Freight offers this automotive tool storage cabinet in several different solid colors. It has seven drawers with a total weight capacity for the cabinet of 1,200 pounds, thanks to its sturdy powder-coated steel design. It measures 41 ¼ inches in height, 22 inches in depth, and 27 inches in width. The cabinet uses 5-inch lockable casters, which one customer reviewer said makes it easy to roll the cabinet to wherever you need it. "Easy enough to maneuver but able to be locked in place with the casters," they shared on the Harbor Freight website. "No, it's not a Snap-On, but the price they want for tool boxes is obscene."

A few reviewers said they didn't like the Series 3 design as well as Series 2's design, as they preferred the Series 2 drawer count and size. Another reviewer disliked the flimsy plastic drawer catches with Series 3 products. Despite the few negative comments, however, this still a very well-liked product among customers.
