I want to put a medium sized fridge in the garage (something like the one linked below, about 60 inches tall) but don’t have a good place to put it that isn’t filled with with cabinets, tool boxes or other racecar stuff. There is a space that I think would work above where we store the generator and garage subwoofer if I built or bought a rack to set it on.
Needs to hold about 250-300 lbs max. I need about 20 inches of the clearance for the generator, about 35 inches in width to span both and have about 62 inches before I hit the cabinets above which should fit fine with the fridge below.
Fridge that is on the short list, or one of similar or smaller size. Kind of a 3/4 size fridge, not a dorm mini fridge. It’ll just be used to store drinks and low alcohol liquor that needs to be refrigerated after opening.
Here is where it would go
Seems to be a simple thing to build but I’m no woodworker. I’d probably just screw 4 legs into a sheet on top, but guess I’ll need a frame of some sort around the edges.
I’ve been googling both DIY and (especially with price of wood) pre built options but haven’t found anything exactly like that. i found there is something called a ‘dunnage rack’ that typically goes in restaurant freezers that’s somewhat close but haven’t found the right fit yet, usually a little too short.
Thought I might post here with all the handy types for advice on building or maybe sourcing something that might work.
