There is no protection from cold with the thin plastic construction. Buy a doghouse on offer up if you can not afford a new one that will give your animal some protection. If you are looking to be that cheap maybe a live pet tobrake care of isn't for you. What will you do when it is time for just routine vet visits let alone a emergency?

Best bang for buck rack to stack these 4 shelves high? I see some metal ones on Amazon now for less than $100...
Make one out of 2x4s and particle board, super cheap and super strong

Their tops would crack on me. Costco/Greenmade always lasted a lot longer.
I've had these for years, often stacked 5 high, and never had one break. I've never stood on them, though. My kid has, but he's only 5.

I've heard Costco is better, but I'm already 20 deep in these. And no, they don't stack with each other. Different dimensions.

How good are these at keeping critters out? We get a lot of spiders, lizards, and frogs, and I would hate for something to jump out at me and I accidentally set the house on fire.
I've had mice chew through them to get into our Christmas decorations when stored in a detached garage. But mice can get pretty much anywhere.

Might not be cost efficient to do that.

Some plans have you hanging these by the side flanges - I wouldn't do that personally, they aren't designed for that and if you put a lot of weight in the totes they are bound to fail. The better method would be to make legit shelving, but that ups the cost. Plus these are ~ 30" deep, which makes lumber allocation difficult, so you could just do 24" deep shelves and have the bins hang off 3" on the front and back, just to make it easier to cut the lumber.

That said, very ballpark, a single sheet of flat stock (4x8', whatever you choose) will be enough for around 8 bins. Add in some 2x4" and you're probably at near $100 just in lumber, not including screws, nor the effort in hauling all that home and cutting it. I mention that because I just built a new workbench designed around the Costco bins, 2 levels to store 12 bins below. I used 2x3" rather than 2x4" mostly for space considerations - the (3) 3/4"x4'x8' MDF panels I got cost $50/ea IIRC, plus about 20 of the 2x3" @ ~ $3.50/ea. Then there were construction screws, and I hardened the top with some ($70/gallon) shellac...... gets expensive.

As I mentioned I grabbed a $200 Edsal rack from Costco and can fit ~ 12 bins on it with some space to spare on each shelf and a short top shelf (due to ceiling height in my basement, otherwise I could fit ~ 15 bins). Assembly was easy and took just 30 minutes with one of my kids "helping".

Same here. I'm not light but I made the mistake of thinking I could just step on one for a boost to get something on a high shelf. Nope.

Pro tip - when you are buying a bunch of them at Costco, they tend to not pay attention to making sure you have the same number of tops as bins. Wink

Smart guy. DIY is no longer cheaper when I can get a rack for $85 shipped to my house

Yes the clear lids crack often it's better off using a yellow lid for stacking. Office Depot have them for $8.99 ( don't forget credit card cashback /cb site ) it's advisable to make an online order for pick up and wait until heading to the store until they have them ready.

Good deal but just a ploy to get people in the door, but I'm OK with that
