Are you looking for some new garage shelving but confused on which style to choose from? In this guide, we will explore various types of garage shelving, their benefits, and how to select the perfect option to suit your specific needs.
What are the different types of garage shelves?
At Racking Solutions, we sell a variety of garage shelving, perfect for a wide range of garage layouts and sizes. We’re confident we’ll have the perfect garage shelving for you. Here is an overview of the different garage shelving styles:
Corner Garage Shelving
Corner garage shelving is a type of garage shelving designed to make use of the often-underutilised corners of a garage. These shelves are tailored to fit snugly into corners, maximising storage space without interrupting the main areas of the garage. Corner shelving is ideal for storing smaller items, tools, and other equipment that might otherwise be difficult to organise. Corner garage shelving can help keep your garage tidy and efficient, ensuring every inch of space is used effectively.
Economy Garage Shelving
Economy garage shelving is a more affordable, budget friendly option to choose when deciding which garage shelf to purchase. It is an ideal choice for those who need to maximise their garage storage space without a significant investment. At Racking Solutions, our economy racking & shelving is blue powder coated, comes in a wide range of sizes up to 1800mm high and has 5 tiers, with the option to add additional shelves.
Industrial Garage Shelving
Industrial garage shelving is a robust and durable storage solution designed to handle heavy loads and withstand the rigours of demanding environments. Industrial shelving is ideal for garages where heavy tools, equipment, and large items need to be stored securely and efficiently. Each of our industrial garage shelving can hold 400kg per shelf, making them an ideal choice for a busy garage.
Workbench & Racking Kits
Garage workbench and racking kits are a popular storage solution that come with a workbench and a choice of racking. These kits are perfect for a brand-new garage or for a full garage redesign, as they allow you to fit your garage out with one purchase. The kits are designed to provide a versatile workspace and ample storage for tools, equipment, and other items.
Factors to consider when choosing garage shelving
- Load Capacity: Assess the weight of the items you plan to store. Ensure the shelving can support the maximum weight you expect to place on it.
- Size and Dimensions: Measure your garage space to determine the appropriate size and dimensions of the shelving. Consider height, width, and depth to ensure a good fit. Think about the space required for accessing items, especially in tight or constrained areas.
- Space Utilisation: Evaluate how the shelving will utilise your garage space. Corner shelves can help maximise storage without using valuable floor space.
- Cost: Determine your budget and find a balance that works for you. We do have budget friendly options available (without compromising on quality), such as economy garage shelving. Another way to reduce the up-front cost is to make sure you properly plan your garage’s storage before purchasing to make sure you are not buying shelves you will not use.
- Purpose and Use: Identify the primary purpose of the shelving. Are you storing tools, gardening supplies, sports equipment, or seasonal decorations? Tailor the shelving choice to the specific use case.
By considering these factors, you can choose the best shelving solution that meets your needs, enhances your garage's organisation, and maximises its storage potential.
Choosing the best type of shelving for your garage involves assessing your specific storage needs, the weight and size of items to be stored, and the overall layout of your space. Whether you opt for corner garage shelving, economy garage shelving, industrial garage shelving or workbench & racking kits, the right shelving can transform your garage.
