Kombi under seat storage boxes

[Endacy]

I’ve seen a few people have made wooden boxes for under seat storage and even loackable metal ones. I just wanted something to stop everything flying around and thought this worked pretty well. 600 x 400 x 230 euro stackable box. Cut a small notch to clear the under seat frame and stretched a bungee across the front to stop it sliding out. If you go for a 200 high box it’ll slide right under the seat from the back too and doesn’t need a notch, but I will have a mid bulkhead soon so happy it sit against the frame and doesn’t do that. screwfix sell a 200 high box, otherwise most sellers do taller than 200 like this one, that I happened to have in the loft.

If you buy a new box they are £20-25 from what I’ve seen, and you can get different colours.

I like that, a simple solution and effective storage..

if you search for 600 x 400 x 220 they come up, I might have measured wrong or mines just odd. Search eBay for 600 x 400 crate and you’ll find some very similar

Have seen busboxx use these as a base for a cheap kitchen setup on a slide out rail. Obviously they charge a fortune but a great idea! Definitely going to get some to fit under my Cali rear board

This has come of interest because I’ve taken out the third row bench seat and stored it. My two really useful boxes fitted nicely either side of the legs so need to relocate my ‘stuff’!

Fruit crates from supermarkets fit under there, apparently...

Doing a bit of research they’re called bail arm crates. 5 is minimum I could find on ebay - might need to sneak around to back of the co-op under darkness

I bought some for moving house with the plan of using in the garage on shelves which I do. If they fit might be good to have in the back. They've got a pretty strong lid when closed. Not to stand on but certainly as a little table at the beach

Decided to ditch the row 3 bench seat and have more cargo space and have been looking at eurocrates. Today, before making a purchase, I thought I’d just try my two 21L ‘Really Useful Boxes’ to see if they’d fit under the double Kombi seat. Perfect!!

Hi

I've gone for 2 of the euro crates (20 litres 40cm) for my Kombi 2+1, one is a nice snug fit (side to side), the other a bit looser but doesn't seem to move.

My rear carpet stops them sliding forward which is a nice bonus and no need for a bungey cord.

Got them here.

I adopted a similar solution under the rear sliding bench of an Executive. Only the boxes are slightly smaller, are the clear type and have to be able to slide when necessary. So I just smoothed off the injection moulding pimple at the bottom and all is good.
