Why Can't I find one?!

Silverwings · 06-22-2008, 05:22 AM

ARGH! I need to find a tack box for college, it's a requirement, but I can't find one ANYWHERE! BOTH tack shops in the area don't have them, and I've even tried home depot to try to find something that locks and is big enough, but NOTHING! UGH I just want to have all preparations DONE, but eesh... College is going to be a breeze after all the preparation I need. (And my mom is wondering why I'm so glad I chose to do the ONE year course).

Do you know where I can get one? the max it can be is 3ft wide, 3ft hight, and 5ft long, but I don't want one THAT big. Just big enough to fit my saddle, saddle pads, bridle, girth, grooming stuff and maybe boots. The rest I can keep in my car.

Dover sells them. I got mine for just under $200 and shipping (on of the traditional plasticy ones... the one I got is now $270, there is one for $170, one is $30 to ship, the other is $25.

I really like the one I have.

Sounds like the same dimensions as a camp trunk and you should bde able to find one of them anywhere from Walmart/ Target to Army surplus stores.

Yep, Lowes and Home Depot make the BEST trunks that are perfect for tack!

Walmart has a "Smart Bin" in Auto's. It is that amazing heavy duty plastic that would survive a tornado! lol. Cost me $42 bucks. Well worth it. I could fit basically everything I needed and then some in there

Google "deck box"

Oh yay!! Thank you everyone!! We don't have any Lowes in the area, but we do have like.... 4 home depots??

And if worse comes to worse, it's great to know I could order online!

LOL Perfect task for a rainy day!
