Title: On-Slide Trash Can and Storage
Post by: charliem on November 15, 2014, 02:27:41 PM
[font size="3"]An idea for trash and storage management. All stay attached to, and move with, the slide. The storage tubes are 5" Vinyl fence posts with end caps. We store old grocery bags in the tall one for lining the trash can. The shorter tube stores a curtain that can be clipped across the walkway to extend the bath area.

[font size="3"]The trash can is from SimpleHuman available at [a href="http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Profile-Stainless-10-Liter-2-6-Gallon/dp/B001L5SN3Y/ref=sr_1_43?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416143506&sr=1-43&keywords=trash+can"]http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Profile-Stainless-10-Liter-2-6-Gallon/dp/B001L5SN3Y/ref=sr_1_43?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416143506&sr=1-43&keywords=trash+can[/a]

Pretty good quality for Made in China.

[font size="3"]For each item I used 2 hex head sheet metal screws near the top, screwed into the aluminum tubing of the slide. The hex heads can be tightened with a 1/4 inch drive socket wrench. I actually cut "keyholes" in the plastic to allow easy removal (Dremels are cool). A small patch of self adhering Velcro near the bottom keeps each item from slapping around when driving.

Melvin[/quote][font size="3"]Melvin,

I must correct the record. The idea was my wife's! I merely implement her ideas  8-|.

Camp on, and watch those crossings  ;)
