Custom Bin & Tote Rack

Name: Custom Bin & Tote Rack
Brand: Cairn Home Co.
Availability: InStock

Your totes. Your wall. A rack designed to the inch.

Stop unstacking six bins to reach the one on the bottom. We build each tote its own opening, so it slides out like a drawer and goes right back without moving anything above it. Standard totes ride on two front-to-back timber runners under the reinforced lid lip. Oversize totes automatically switch to full plywood platforms, so the tool never assumes a giant loaded bin can hang from its lid. Choose a tall rail rack, a 36–42 inch tote workbench, or a small-bin cubby.

This designer starts with the space you actually have. Enter the clear wall width, usable height, and available depth; choose a current Home Depot tote from 2.5 quarts through 170 gallons, or enter the exact lid measurements of a tote you already own. The tool finds the biggest complete grid that fits, calculates runner and caster placement, lets you preview it over a room photo, creates a Marketplace-ready image/spec, and keeps the load package, construction, delivery, installation, and checkout visible.

Any tote

Choose a Home Depot preset from 2.5 qt to 170 gal, or enter the lid dimensions of a bin you already own.

Real support

See the paired front-to-back runners—or full platforms for oversize totes—plus uprights, bracing, fasteners, and anchors.

The whole price

Load package, construction, casters, delivery distance, and installation stay separate and visible all the way through.

Common questions

Do I need to buy the totes?: You supply the totes. That keeps the rack price focused on the carpentry and lets us build around bins you already own. The designer includes common Home Depot HDX, Husky, and Sterilite footprints; for anything else, enter the exterior lid width, tote height, and tote depth.
How exact are the online dimensions?: They are a planning estimate. Tote molds and retail assortments change, so we verify the actual lid and the installation space before cutting. Oversize racks automatically require that check; you can also enter your own measured tote at any size.
What is included in installation?: Delivery, final assembly, leveling, anti-tip anchoring where appropriate, and a slide-clearance check with your tote. Pickup and delivery-only are also available, and the configurator shows each fee separately before you send the design.
What actually holds each tote?: Most totes ride on two front-to-back runners that bear under the reinforced lid lip; they are jig-spaced using one of your physical totes. Very large or deep totes automatically receive a full 3/4-inch plywood platform on paired bearers instead. The material takeoff in the designer changes with the support system.
Can the rack roll?: Only compact, moderate-load timber racks can roll. The designer disables casters for heavy loads, full-platform builds, racks over 72 inches tall or 96 inches wide, and configurations above 600 pounds of selected capacity. Rolling racks should be moved empty and locked before loading.
