Design yours

A wall-mounted bar cabinet made from a used, authentic military jerry can. We collect the cans from military surplus warehouses in Europe and upcycle every one of them by hand in Denmark. Dents and corrosion from the years in service may be visible. That is the point: no two are alike.

Each can goes through the same eight steps: 24 hours in a furnace to loosen old paint, rust and the smell of fuel, sandblasting, laser cutting, steam cleaning and painting, moulded plywood shelves and hand assembly with hinges, mirror, ID tag and lock. See how it is made.

Build yours below in four steps: the colour, the wood interior, your own ID number if you want one, and how it hangs on the wall.

Questions and answers

Are Danish Fuel cabinets made from real military jerry cans?

Yes. Our limited edition cabinets are made from used military jerry cans collected from military surplus warehouses in Europe. Dents and corrosion from their years in service may be visible. The Tribute series (also called Originals) is different: it uses our own reproduction of the 1939 German jerry can, with clean lines and no traces of corrosion.

What is the ID package?

A certificate of origin in stainless steel that comes in a vintage tin box. Your initials are engraved on the front, and a 4-digit ID number of your choice is embossed into the fuel tag plate on the can and engraved on the back of the certificate. More about the ID package.

How is the cabinet mounted on the wall?

Standard mounting is with screws through the rear of the cabinet, so the fixings are hidden. Deluxe mounting uses hand-carved leather wall straps with black-headed screws for a more visible vintage look. The configurator shows the price before you add it to the cart.

Which woods and colours can I choose?

Oak is our base wood. Depending on the design you can also choose smoked oak, black stained oak, walnut, red gum or zebrano. Colours include Army Green, Nano Black, Aviation Grey, Racing Green, Gas Red, Glacier White, Normandy Yellow, Copper, Gold and Rose. The configurator on each page shows exactly what is available for that design.
