We have the opportunity to design a new hold room for our new facility in Tucson. What kinds of ideas do y'all have as far as shelving for holds (clean and dirty), work bench spaces, tool areas (peg board maybe?), volume storage, etc.?

Maybe if I can get some photos of your spaces I can get some inspiration on how to make it the best for my setters.

Any comments on organization would be appreciated too. I've been setting commercially for the same gym for going on 15 years and I'm afraid that I've become set in my ways so any and all illumination on the subject would be greatly appreciated!!

we just redesigned our storage space for the hold room at the bend rock gym and i built two tables no higher then 31 inches with room for storage on top and below for holds its 20 feet long and we start smallest holds on left to largest on the right in ascending order. so 2 levels of crimps top and botom 2 levels of edges top and bottom and so on and it is working really well so you can move holds from top to bottom when looking for the holds you want. and bench is 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet deep with peg board and holders into peg board for wrenches taps and tape and bolts are all organized by size into stackable storage bins. dirty holds we have a large rubbermaid tub to through in to be washed when stripping. hope this helps for ideas. :-)

I built out our hold storage rack a few years ago. I like using the Bread trays instead of buckets, makes it a lot easier to find that perfect hold.

@shawd01: That is so nice.. I'm so jealous. Where did you get the bread trays?
All our stuff is in boxes on the floor. Totally weak, but we dont have space for a "hold room". Just storage behind the wall, so it limits what we can do.

@shawd01: I agree with Barth that using the bread trays that way is really cleaver. Also where did you get them and did they cost you anything? I bet we could do something like that if I can get them to change them to spring for a little extra wood to modify our shelves. Provided I could find a bunch of trays for free.

You have no idea how much I would love a legit hold room. Right now we just store everything inside our free-standing wall in these deep buckets that are all but impossible to go through. Luckily I basically know every hold we have and where it is so I can go through them pretty quickly, but it makes it really hard for our new (or not obsessed) setters to find what they want (or even know if we have it in the first place).

We have an entire gear room, but the gear manager has been pretty adamant about not giving up an space. Maybe I'll just keep pushing him until he snaps.

Your best bet is to talk to a restaurant or look around behind a grocery store... but that's probably not the best way. We are lucky to have a concession stand at the park I work at; they gave us some extras they had laying around.

A well organized hold room is very nice indeed. One of the best I have seen recently is at Mesa Rim in San Diego. Very well organized and a well thought out plan for a relatively small space.

Ultimately you get used to what you use and in my opinion efficiency is not greatly increased by using deep bins vs. shallow bins. I do like having the holds sorted by style (slopers, one handed jugs, etc.)

I really like pegboard with hooks for tape.

I like overhead storage for big macros and volumes so they are laying about where I can crack my shins on them.

Lockers of some sort for the setters is ideal.

A battery charger station is awesome.

Some sort of work bench is nice.

A mini fridge is a total luxury, but very nice.

I would also argue that a completely separate computer station for managing a route database is a great addition. I hate having this done at the same computer where customers check in or buy items.

I am sure there are more suggestions out there.

Keep 'em coming!

@Barth: Those bread trays can be picked up for cheap or free from any large wholesale bread distributer/bakery (Hostess comes to mind). Ask for their old, used trays. If they are't willing to help they can tell you where they buy their trays new. Restaurants are accountable for all the bread trays that are delivered to them so they won't give them up.

Those trays make organizing a hold room a dream. Don't give up until you can find some.
