Plan Station 22410 Portable Workstation

by Plan Station

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Need a space to spread out and plan the job? Instead of wasting time building a temporary table, simply pound two nails into the wall, slip two, 24 inch by 48 inch pieces of plywood into the fabric panels of the Plan Station and you've got a complete work station in less than 5 minutes! You'll be perfectly organized too. Two rows of mesh pockets hold everything from pens, pencils and cell phone to invoices and materials lists. The work surface comfortably fits 24 inch by 36 inch blueprints. There's even a drink holder and an access slot for your computer's power cord. Hulking 1200-denier nylon fabric is tough enough for the job site, reinforced everywhere to take heaps of abuse. Hanging rings are spaced 48 inches on center for hanging on any stud wall. When it's time to pack up and move location? Leave the plywood in and fold the unit like a portfolio. There's even a convenient carry handle! Also great for use in your home office, workshop, garage, garden shed, warehouse, or any place where you need portable work space. Imported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Idea. Works great!, March 10, 2008

I couldn't keep mine. My neighbor, a master mason snatched it away from me and was using it on the job the next day. I have sold probably five of these in the last week to people I do business with. I's affordable, portable and adaptable to almost any situation for people who need planning and assembly space but like us life in a small apartment. It folds up like an artist's portfolio and fits in the smallest closet when not in use and you can hang it from almost anything (nails, pegboard hooks, twine, rope, coat hanger wire, etc). My only suggestion is to purchase or make a waterproof bag to transport it from site to site. Otherwise the plywood 2'x4' inserts will delaminate. Also cut 1/2" off the side and end of the plywood before inserting in the pocket. It will slide in a lot easier and your fit will still be good and snug. Don't use more than 1/2" plywood or you can't get it in the pocket and fold the velcro tabs over tight. It's especially good for people like me with back problems, who need to stand up while working.
I should get a commission on all the sales I've captured. I even got our local Home Depot manager to buy one, although they don't stock it yet (they will soon, I'll bet).

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What We Needed For The Job Site! Keeps Everything Organized!, June 13, 2009

This is a great idea! It works great. Just like the other reviewer stated, you should cut the 1/2 plywood 47-1/2 x 23-1/2 to make it easier to fit in the velcro pockets. The canvas material is very strong but can be torn by the sharps edges of your plywood if pushed in forcefully. There are plenty of pockets and places to store items. The size is perfect for reviewing plans and writing on. The canvas is easy to wipe clean and it all folds up for easy transport. A velcro strip along the edges securely closes it. The built-in handle makes it easy to carry. The only down side that I can say is that over time the 1/2 plywood base tends to sag in the middle. You can pull it out an reverse it as needed until the plywood becomes too flexible and will need to be replaced. If you store it in the closed position at the end of the day it will not sag as soon. You can also cut a support leg 2x4 or pole to place under it for added support. Overall I am very pleased with this product. It makes for a more professional looking job site. Your clients, inspectors, and subs will most likely be impressed by it too!

Well made and looks good. Bought for someone as a present and it doesn't get used much, but when it does it is a lifesaver.

That is the only thing to keep in mind... if you *know* you will use it then great. Otherwise it is one of those things that can easily just gather dust, since you really need exposed framing to hang it from.
