Using lockers for the home

My boys have decided to turn one of the bigger rooms in the basement into a partial gym and have asked for lockers. I thought it would be a great idea to have them down there, as I already have went to sales and have gotten some in the past at a sale when they wanted them in their bedrooms. I figure it would make great storage for their gym outfits, and other things that they would want to store in them.

The school had some lockers for sale, but I know from experience that they are way too small to store much in at all. My kids don’t even wear heavy coats to school because there is no room in the lockers for them. They can’t even fit all of the books they have into them, which is kind of upsetting since what are we tax payers paying for exactly? And who has to pay the doctor bills if the kids get sick from not wearing coats? But, that is another story. I have however, while browsing found school lockers that were much bigger, unfortunately the school the kids go to, didn’t use these.

Employee lockers that I found are great for what my boys wanted to use them for. They also were not as expensive as what I thought they would be. This is a great help with money matters, since I’m on a budget with home improvement. Maybe these will keep the basement a bit neat and even nearly non, “guy cluttered!”
