Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Shelving

What Is the Best Type of Shelving for a Garage?

The best shelving for a garage depends on your storage needs. Industrial shelving is ideal for heavy-duty use, such as storing tools or car parts, while galvanised steel shelving is excellent for garages with damp or cold conditions. If you prefer a budget-friendly option, value shelving provides reliable performance without breaking the bank. For lightweight or temporary needs, plastic shelving is a quick and easy choice.

How Tall Should Garage Shelves Be?

Garage shelves should be tall enough to maximise vertical space but not so tall that they become unstable or inaccessible. At RackZone, we offer a variety of shelving heights: 1800mm high shelves are perfect for compact spaces or under-counter storage. 2000mm high shelves provide mid-range storage solutions. 2500mm high shelves are ideal for maximising vertical storage in larger garages. Choose a height that matches your garage’s layout and ensures easy access to stored items.

How Deep Should Garage Shelves Be?

Depth is an important consideration for garage shelving, as it determines how much you can store on each shelf. At RackZone, our shelving units offer practical depths for various storage needs: 450mm deep shelves are great for compact items like toolboxes and small containers. 600mmdeep shelves provide slightly more capacity for larger items like power tools or cleaning supplies. For a balance of depth and floor space usage, opt for shelves that match your most commonly stored items.

Does Garage Shelving Add Value to a Home?

Yes, well-organised garage shelving can add value to your home. Prospective buyers appreciate a tidy, functional garage with ample storage, as it demonstrates that the space has been maximised efficiently. Installing durable, high-quality shelving also signals a well-maintained property, making your home more appealing on the market.

How do I choose the right garage storage system for my space?

Selecting the ideal garage storage system depends on your needs and space constraints. Start by assessing your storage requirements, measuring your available space and considering the types of items you’ll be storing. Our Rivet Shelving systems offer adjustable shelves and various sizes for a versatile solution to accommodate different garage layouts. Remember, a well-planned system combines vertical and horizontal storage options for maximum efficiency.

What’s the maximum weight capacity for your garage shelving units?

Our garage shelving units offer a range of weight capacities to suit various needs. For instance, our Value Shelving can support up to 400kg UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) per shelf. Our heavy-duty Concealed Rivet Industrial Shelving boasts an impressive 300kg per shelf capacity, and our Longspan shelving is up to 450kg per level. Always check the specifications of each unit and consider the weight of your items to ensure safe and stable storage.

How can I maximise vertical space in my garage with shelving?

To make the most of vertical space, consider our taller shelving options, like the 2500mm high longspan shelving. You can also use adjustable shelving units to create custom configurations that adapt to your changing storage needs. Don’t forget to use the space above the garage doors with overhead storage racks for seasonal items.

Are metal garage shelving units prone to rust?

Our metal garage shelving units are designed to withstand typical garage environments. Many, like our Value Shelving in galvanised finish, are rust-resistant. However, for extra protection in damp conditions, consider our powder-coated options or add rubber feet to prevent moisture absorption from concrete floors. Regular cleaning and maintenance will also help extend the life of your metal shelving.

What features should I look for in the best garage shelving?

The best garage shelving combines durability, versatility and ease of assembly. Look for adjustable shelves, high weight capacities and sturdy construction materials. Our Rivet Shelving range ticks these boxes, offering capacities up to 250kg per shelf, adjustable levels and robust steel frames. Also, consider units with laminated timber shelves for a polished look that’s easy to clean.

Can I mix and match different types of garage storage and shelving units?

Absolutely! Combining different storage solutions often leads to the most efficient use of space. For example, you might use our Longspan Shelving for bulky items, Rivet Shelving for medium-sized tools and equipment, and Value Shelving for smaller, frequently accessed items. The key is to create a system that caters to your specific storage needs while maximising your available space.

How do I safely install my garage shelving, units and racking?

Safety is paramount when installing garage storage solutions. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. For freestanding units, ensure they’re placed on a level surface and use wall anchors for additional stability. When installing racking, use appropriate fixings for your wall type and don’t exceed the recommended weight limits.

What’s the difference between wire and solid garage shelves?

Wire shelves, like our Rivet Shelving 1830h x 914w x 406d 5 Level Angle 200kg UDL with Mesh Wire, offer excellent ventilation and are ideal for storing items that might collect dust or need airflow. They’re also great for visibility. Solid shelves, such as our chipboard options, provide a smooth surface that’s easy to clean and prevents small items from falling through. They’re perfect for storing paint cans, small tools, and other items that require a flat surface.
