Hi,

There are tons of pullout options for the sink base. I bought a wire mesh drawer from Linen's N things and I tried to find it online for you (Can't remember the manufacturer's name- and it's not on the shelf anywhere), but no luck. I just love this simple solution for where to put all the little things that accumulate under the sink. I bought a wire towel rack with hooks for about $3 from HD, and on the other side have my trash on the door- it's made by Sunbeam, and I got it from Lee Valley.

My under the sink area has stayed neat and tidy now for over a year. I also have a bin at the back of the garbage side for extra bags/rags.(You can just see a tiny corner of it in the pic.

Raehelen, if you check back here...what are the dimensions of that trash bag holder? I checked Lee Valley & only some dimensions are stated (12"Wx19"H...but what about depth?)

I'm looking for something like that for under my prep sink...but it's in a corner sink base so the space is limited in both width & depth.

TIA!!

Mine is 36" and has my trash and recycling (there is another trash pullout on the far side of the island, but I opted for a second DW over a second trash pullout on the clean up side). The photo linked shows the bins pulled out. When the two smaller baskets (DW detergent, sponges, liners, brushes and more) are pushed back, the bins go sideways across the front.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Would it be silly to stick a full size (shallow sided) pullout under there? Obviously tall items would have to be on the sides so as to not collide with plumbing, and spots might need notching for clearance, but I'm thinking of doing it.

Added benefit: if it's plastic, it'll catch leaks from DIY plumbing mods.

Interesting idea, Fori!

Buehl,

The trash holder is 9" deep.

Fori,

We are having a 6" high full extension pullout shelf made for the bottom of our basement vanity. I'd originally wanted a bottom drawer (with the sink base doors above it), but the carpenter pointed out that to balance with the 11 1/2" deep drawers on the two sides of the base, it would be mighty tight fitting in an undermount sink and plumbing, etc. DH is DIY all the plumbing, so he will make sure it's high enough to clear the shelf. No pictures yet, as the vanity hasn't been completed. I will line the pullout with Life liner as I did under the sink in the kitchen. We've already had a wee link (some connection was loose), and the life liner caught it! Whew!

BTW, now that I've finally ordered my custom made vanity, it seems like there are vanities popping up all over the place with bottom drawers under the sink!!! Where have they been for the past year? I was just a little ahead of the game!

Thanks Raehelen! This may solve my "no trash pullout in the prep zone" dilemma! (I tried an iTouchless...it's now in the PR startling long-legged people who sit down on the commode!)

Sorry for the hijack Dglmichelle...now back to the rest of the "under sink storage" story!

No problem buehl!

I was thinking that someone made a sink base pullout that had one long pullout on the bottom and two side pullouts to go around the drain.

I thought I saw a picture of someone's NeverMT on some sort of pullout - off to search!

Thanks for all your help

I saw this article online at The Family Handyman and I think this may be the way we will go so we can make them the sizes that will fit under our particular sink!

I put two full size pull out drawer/shelves under the sink at our lake house garage apt., and they work very well. As you said, you can't put tall things where they interfere with the plumbing, but it makes good use of space for shorter items. I didn't think of this in time for the cabinet maker to supply them, so I went with some aftermarket ones that I got at the Container Store. I'll take a photo for you when we are up there this weekend.

Picture as promised is below. This is a 34 inch wide sink base.

Thanks, Lakehouse--it almost seems like it'd be better to DIY it after everything is in place and you know what you need instead of having the cabinet maker supply them.

I have a 33" sink base and was able to fit a rev-a-shelf trash pullout (sideways) under my sink.
