Wood lockers are the best choice for locker room lockers

Wood lockers have become a popular way for teams to create a unique and inviting atmosphere for their recruits. With wood lockers, teams can show potential recruits that they are serious about their commitment to the team, and that they are willing to make the extra effort to create a positive environment. 

Wooden lockers provide teams with an edge when it comes to recruiting. Not only do they add an aesthetic touch, but they also give athletes a sense of security and comfort in knowing that their belongings are safe and secure. Additionally, wood lockers can help create an atmosphere of camaraderie among teammates as well as providing them with a place to store their equipment. 

By investing in wood lockers for their team, coaches can demonstrate how much they value their athletes’ success both on and off the field. This is why more teams are turning towards wooden lockers as part of their recruiting strategy. 

There are many options for wood lockers for your facility. The important consideration is that the locker should be safe and durable enough to withstand the arduous atmosphere of a high-impact sport. There are a few different types of wooden lockers available on the market, each varying in quality and price. Cheap lockers in the market are usually made of hollow core materials ( think Ikea) or they use thinner plywood. At PlayerStall, we use only full ¾” Cabinet grade plywood to ensure that our sport lockers will last decades. Our high value sports lockers are also priced to not break the bank.

If you are looking to redo your locker room lockers, PlayerStall can help you with your wood locker needs.

Sports Lockers selection guide- What matters?

When selecting sports lockers, it’s important to consider the sport the locker will be used for, the location of the locker, the time frame for delivery, and any additional features desired.

First, think about the sport the locker will be used for. Different sports require different amounts of space for equipment, so it’s important to choose a locker that is specifically made for the sport. For example, football lockers will be larger than a standard sports locker.

Next, consider where the lockers will be located. If they will be in a high-traffic area with media access, it’s important to choose a locker that has a professional and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Wood lockers are a great option for this as they give a high-end look and provide ample ventilation for sports equipment.

It’s also important to consider the time frame for delivery. Depending on the deadline, our sales team can give suggestions on the type of material to choose and the estimated costs.

Finally, think about any special or additional features that you would like on the lockers. Some people may want team logos or colors incorporated into the design. Communicating these preferences in advance can help determine costs and give the locker company time to thoughtfully incorporate them into the design.

Contact PlayerStall today for all your sports equipment storage solutions, whether you’re part of a team looking for locker room lockers or need mudroom lockers for your garage. We can make it happen within your budget limits.

Sports lockers- what’s the difference between plywood and MDF?

There are lots of options when it comes to choosing sports lockers. Sports lockers come in a bunch of different materials- metal, wood, plywood, particle board and many others. The two most common materials for wood lockers are particle board and cabinet grade plywood. Both are made from different types of wood, but the way they are constructed and the materials used in the process can have a significant impact on their quality and durability.

The main difference between the two is their structure. Plywood is made from layers of wood veneers that are glued together with adhesives, while particle board is made from wood particles that are mixed with a strong glue. Plywood has a stronger and more durable structure and is less prone to chipping and breaking compared to particle board. Another consideration is plywood does not require the use of harmful adhesives like formaldehyde, which is often found in particle board construction.

In terms of strength, plywood is the clear winner. Because of its layered design and the adhesives used to bond the veneers together, it is able to withstand more weight and pressure than particle board. Also, plywood is not as susceptible to damage from direct damage, while particle board is more prone to chipping and breaking. Particle board sports lockers are almost impossible to repair while plywood can easily be repaired.

Another important factor to consider is weight. Particle board is way heavier than plywood, which can make it more difficult to handle and move around. The weight of the wood can impact where and how it can be mounted or installed. Plywood is surprisingly lightweight for its strength, and it is only two-thirds the weight of particle board. For environments such a locker room, the moisture will also warp the particle board while the plywood will resist warping.

PlayerStall creates high value, cheap locker that will stand the test of time. Our wooden lockers are made of full 3/4″ cabinet grade plywood and is the perfect addition to any locker room.
