The item in my kit

I bought NEATERIZE 13-Inch Black Fabric Storage Cubes as part of my camper van equipment.

The NEATERIZE cubes are among my purchased storage supplies. Building the patio drawer gave me a practical example of how the opening, usable interior space and access direction determine which containers make sense.

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

Amazon Basics offers another 13-inch cube format, while the Royexe bins use a smaller roughly 11-inch format for narrower openings.

Questions from my build

Where did I build the drawer?

On the patio during the roof-storage project.

How did I cut the rubber lining in that session?

My diary specifically records using scissors.
