Storage shelving for garages, sheds, bedrooms and offices
Choose storage shelving by the weight it will hold and where it will stand. In the garage or shed, metal storage shelves or a steel shelving unit carry paint tins, tools and camping gear, and heavy duty industrial shelving or commercial shelving suits the heaviest loads. For a home office, desk shelving and a slim shelving unit keep files off the floor.
In bedrooms and living rooms, wood shelving and cube shelves look like furniture while hiding clutter in baskets. Short on floor space? Wall storage shelves and wall mounted book shelves use the space above benches and desks. Outdoors, a lockable storage box or a garden shed keeps tools, cushions and bikes out of the weather.
Shelving and storage by type
Not sure where to start? For the garage, choose heavy duty shelving; a 3 tier shelving unit with an adjustable rack shelf suits most single garages. To free up floor space, add wall shelves, from a floating shelf to a wall shelf for books. For living areas and kids’ rooms, cube and bookshelf storage holds baskets, toys and books.
Need to sort small items? Storage boxes and containers stack on shelves and keep dust out. For mowers, bikes and garden gear, look at a garden shed or outdoor storage box.
Steel, wire or timber shelving?
Steel shelving is the strongest and suits garages, sheds and workshops; check the load rating per shelf. Wire shelving is lighter, lets air circulate and suits pantries and laundries; mobile shelving on castors rolls out of the way. Timber and melamine shelving looks warmer in living areas and bedrooms but holds less weight. Whatever the material, fix tall units to the wall so they cannot tip.

Shelving & storage FAQ
What shelving is best for a garage?
Steel or heavy duty shelving with adjustable shelves. It handles heavy boxes and tools and can be rearranged as your storage changes.
How much weight can a shelving unit hold?
It depends on the unit. Check the load rating per shelf on the product page and keep heavy items on the bottom shelves.
Should I fix freestanding shelves to the wall?
Yes, especially tall units in homes with children. A wall bracket stops the unit tipping if someone climbs or pulls on it.
What shelf depth do I need for a garage?
Around 40 to 60 cm suits most boxes and tool cases. Measure your largest items first.
