    A neighbor "gifted" us a U-Line ice maker a few years back. They are quite expensive, but they are commercial quality through and through and the customer service is off the charts. I needed a part a couple times and both times the lady that answered the phone knew exactly what we were working with after giving her the model number. She was looking a parts list exactly like the one I had, she knew what I needed and we got it two days later. Both experiences with U-LIne were absolutely positive. Five stars for sure.

    Mike/Melissa, when you pull the bladders out of the totes you should consider cutting 'panels' out of the plastic sides/top/bottom. Then zip tie the 'panel' to the metal frame to help minimize pieces 'ooching' out of the totes. It will also assist when you are 'pouring/shaking/bouncing' the wood into the dump trailer for a delivery. Have a great day!

    In the 1970’s I worked for a steel office furniture manufacturing company. The wire storage baskets were used almost exclusively for part movement, storage and used for degreasing. Baskets full of oily coated fabrications were dunk into degreasing baths. Those baskets will last forever.

    Dang Mike when you first showed that basket I got flashbacks... I worked in carpet mills down here in north Georgia and the same baskets are used to put cones of yarn in and as a lift truck operator we would have to stack them in our warehouse and I found out pretty quick that when you sit one on top of another before you back out make sure that all 4 legs are lined up correctly especially when you are stacking 2 on top of another they do not like to be tripods and another thing that you use that is common in a carpet industry is your geo textile roll it's the same thing as primary backing for carpet its what the yarn is sewn into and you might could even get it cheaper by ordering from the manufacturer they are different types with different sizes of the weave and you can even get it in white and make you some roll up wind walls for your pavilion it comes up to 15'6" wide if you would like more information about it let me know

    I’ve used those industrial parts bins for years for my firewood splits. I move them with my Kubota tractor and forks. I think I have 14 now and they will get my through a full winter. I bought mine in St Louis, Mo. which is 90 miles west of me. A company there has lots of used pallet racking and these wire containers. Most of mine are 48”x48”x48” but I have one taller. They are great and if you find them used they are much cheaper

I see them a lot at auction and on craigslist. 6 baskets hold about 1 cord without stacking, I suspect if I stacked neatly they would hold almost twice as much, but the reason I bought them is so I wouldn't have to stack; straight from the splitter to the basket.

    Been using Uline for my cardboard shipping boxes for years, but I find them way over priced on everything else. When you add in the shipping, even the boxes would be overpriced except that I live about a 3 hour round trip from the Atl. distributor so eliminating the shipping makes the box prices competitive. But they are efficient, and the customer service is indeed second to none in today's world of customer no service, so that counts for something. I can order in the morning and pickup in the afternoon. Huge place too!

    Mike, funny you should bring up Uline...I just got there catalog three weeks ago, and while I was watching your video, I looked up this same container...I also got on the phone, and ordered 3 of the same ones...THENK YOU FOR SHOWING ME WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN PERSON, BEFORE I ORDERED.

    You brought a good laugh on there Melissa here in the household when you said about putting Hunter in one with the dogs in the other ones, along with the little grandchildren. LOL, that would definitely keep them out of trouble

    If you decide to go away from the cage totes I’d definitely be interested in buying them. I’m going to come up to PA to get some more for firewood.
