The item in my kit

I bought AUTOHJ 24-Inch Folding Shelf Brackets as part of my camper van equipment.

The AUTOHJ brackets are part of my purchased folding and storage hardware. My drawer project involved a moving assembly too, with space for the frame and slides shaping the finished layout.

Where it fits my build

I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.

I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes

The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.

Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

Wallmaster retains the long folding-shelf support format, while TopDirect supplies locking hinges for folding legs, a different way to make a surface collapsible.
