Storage Boxes for LPs

Hi,

At home on the couch with the flu - put paid to my NYs plans.....

Anyway, I need to store my LPs in boxes for a while. Does anyone have any easily available options? e.g. plastic or the old wooden boxes etc. Must be cheap

Many thanks

neat & cheap

 

Whether it's cheap or not depends on how many you need. I hope the OP doesn't need as many as I will shortly.

 

Making your own is easy and cheap. 1 sheet of 4'x8'x3/4" MDF makes 7 boxes.

Those are great!!!

Would you mind posting your plans for those?

 

You can also build them like this. A hand saw,some nails,hammer and glue. Rent a brad nailer and a power miter saw for a day will make this fly. Jigged up you can make a shit load in a day.

Getting rid of the center slat would save on material and not compromise the strength of the box if you use good carpenters glue.

Safestore do some double wall cardboard boxes with lids is it. About 130 LPs per box, pretty strong and durable. You don't have to use thier amenities, you can walk in off the street and buy them there. Discount for large nos.

10 of these assisted me in moving the LPs behind the sofa when a new one arrived.

Hi all - first post so please be nice

I have a modest sideline buying and selling records and often have up to 8,000 LPs in my stock room awaiting sale. If you ever make it to the big fair in Utrecht (which is the only place I sell) please drop by stand 205/6 and say hello.

My solution is the "small" box from Big Yellow Storage. Perfect size for LPs with a little space at each side and a little headroom as well.

They hold about 75 LPs so they are easy to lift and I stack them 5 high very happily.

judging by the OP, the cheap card box option seems to make the most sense, but just out of interest, sling similar lines to Jacks suggestions, these seem good vfm:
