Four guides for planning a Systainer wall
Four articles, all of them about getting a Systainer bank right before you cut anything. They moved this week and are easier to find.
What they cover
- Systainer3 dimensions. Every SYS3 size in millimetres and inches, and how the boxes stack and connect.
- Planning a Systainer wall or sysport. Sizing each cabinet to the boxes you own, setting the height, and filling the wall.
- Drawer slides for a Systainer bank. Side mount against undermount, and what each one costs you in width.
- Sheet goods for shop cabinets. Plywood, melamine or MDF, how thick to go, and how that thickness feeds back into the fit.
Where they live now
All four sit at /guides/ on stackdesign.app. They used to be filed under a folder named after a site that has since been retired, which is a fine reason for nobody ever finding them. The old addresses redirect.
Why they exist at all
Every one of them ends where the planner begins. The point is not to read about a Systainer wall. It is to build one that fits the boxes on your bench, which means getting the width chain right before the saw runs.
Anything that is news rather than reference, like this post, goes on the blog with a date on it.
Read, then build
Open the planner
Set your wall, pick your boxes, and the planner sizes the cabinets around them.
