Garage Shelving

Every man’s garage is his castle. Well even if your not a motor-head enthusiast and spend your days pulling apart engines sheltered from the rain, the garage is an indisputable assist when it comes to storage, be it the family car, the row boat or everything that everyone has forgotten about. Yet to take full advantage of the space available one really needs to invest in some decent garage shelving, which can be purchased from a diverse range of online stores. Good quality shelving can turn that dusty tin box into an organised retreat away from the pressures of family life.

There is a big variety of garage shelving and so it should not be too hard to find the type that fits your needs from any well stocked online retailer. For the DIY man (and woman, garages’ need not be gender biased) the galvanised slotted angle shelving is the perfect product as it can be cut to a myriad of lengths to suit and fitted together as you please, thus resulting in a very versatile range of application. The material is relatively sturdy to, so for most household goods it should be sufficient. If you are after more heavy duty garage shelving then the shortspan steel frame is durable whilst remaining fully adjustable. The shortspan can hold loads of up to 280kg whilst maintaining a degree of flexibility. Alternatively, for the really heavy stuff the longspan racking system is better adjusted to your needs. The solid steel frames can bare loads of up to 340kg on most models, even more on some.

These cover the larger floor based garage shelving systems, which are ideal for storing large quantities of equipment and most garages will need at least one. However for much of the smaller stuff it is worth investing in a tray system or alternatively; nail baby food jar lids to a board mounted above your workspace, the screw the jars onto the lids to hold those tiny things. Other good ways of developing space is to purchase garage shelving that hangs from the roof. This is an often neglected area and can, if utilised correctly, increase the storage volume by anywhere up to 25%. By using shelving that attaches to the roof or the wall you are making the most of the vertical plane, thus leaving the floor free of clutter and importantly spacious enough for important things like the car or row boat. Once you have decided upon which type of garage shelving will fit your particular spatial needs, be it heavy duty longspan racking or bicycle hooks to hang your peddle bike from the roof, all that is needed is to purchase the required item. For this you don’t have to leave the comfort of your own home (or garage if that’s where your internet is), online retailers of garage Shelving have seriously grown in the past decade. Now you can simply browse the net and you should find more then enough variety for your needs.
