What is a Wire Basket?
A wire basket is a container made using an openwork pattern of metal. An alternative to a wicker or plastic basket, wire baskets can be used in the same way, such as to organize and store items in the home. A wire basket may also be found in grocery stores rather than the plastic types of shopping baskets. Wire shopping baskets work well for storing all types of items. They can often be hung on walls to create a wall of storage possibilities such as in a garage. Wire baskets can look more sophisticated and organic than plastic storage bins. Like a see-through plastic container, a wire basket allows you to see at a glance what is stored inside. Unlike plastic storage containers, wire baskets don’t usually have lids. This makes a wire storage basket ideal for items that are frequently used, such as sports equipment kept in wire baskets in a garage. Another great use for a wire basket with handles is as a cleaning caddy. It can hold cleaners and rags and be carried room to room as needed.
