A crate has an arrangement of fastening holes for mounting crate components, as well as various mounts and accessories to the outer and inner surface of the crate. The fastening holes are blind holes that do not breach, penetrate or pass-through panels defining the crate so that the crate remains watertight or sealed or leakproof. The fastening holes may be arranged to provide points of intersection for rules or guides that define a grid to aid in mounting components, mounts and accessories at desired locations. Outer fastening holes are provided in a repeating pattern and superimposed on inner fastening holes. The fastening holes provide for ease of customization without the need for drilling.
A crate comprising side panels each comprising a tongue along one side edge and a groove along an opposing side edge, wherein the tongue of each one of the side panels cooperates with the groove on an adjacent one of the side panels so that the side panels may be successively joined together to form a perimeter wall of the crate, and
A crate comprising side panels joined together to form a perimeter wall of the crate and a top panel comprising an outer peripheral underside edge configured to cooperate with a chamfered surface of a top edge of the side panels to form a seal between the top panel and the side panels.
A crate comprising side panels joined to form a perimeter wall of the crate and bumpers each comprising a hole that cooperates in a snug-fit relationship with a boss protruding from an underside of the top panel for attaching the bumpers to the top panel, the bumpers being configured to mitigate or prevent surface-to-surface contact between the top panel and the side panels.
A crate comprising side panels joined together to form a perimeter wall of the crate, a bottom panel interfacing with a bottom edge of the side panels, and a top panel that cooperates with a top edge of the side panels, wherein at least one panel of the side, top or bottom panels comprises superimposed patterns of outer fastening holes and inner fastening holes that extend only partially through the at least one panel, so that the at least one panel is impervious to liquids.
