Perfect Storage Solution – Shelves

In most homes today, unless you have a storage unit or shed, the most common place to store all of our extra items is in the garage. Today, in addition to the home made shelves, there are many solutions for problems related to storage in the garages. One big advantage of using shelves is that by going up vertically, they leave the floor space unoccupied and thus free for an alternate additional use. This is why metal garage shelves are so popular.

There are two main types of shelving: free standing and wall mounted shelves.

Free standing shelves can be made out of a variety of materials, including pressed board, resin, wood, metal and heavy duty wire that is often coated with rubber. Many people use wooden shelving. The most important feature of free standing utility shelves for being used for storage in a garage is that they can be moved around and placed wherever it suits you best. They could be strategically placed in the garage for being used as a divider to separate a particular area for a definite predefined function.

Generally you get such shelves in varying depths of 12 to 20 inches. They are available in many styles,Some come on lockable casters so that you can move them easily and them lock them into place so that they do not move.Others, such as some of the heavy duty plastic shelves easily break down for portability. Solid heavy duty plastic coated wire shelves can also hold a lot of weight but have a distinct advantage of not getting rusted even on getting in contact with water and are therefore preferred over pressed board kind of shelves for typical applications that may encounter water.

Wall mounted shelves also come in a variety of material, though it is best to get a heavy duty shelf that is specially designed for the garage, such as one that is designed to hold up to 100 lbs per linear foot. Heavy duty wire shelves are just right for they have plenty of capacity to hold heavier loads and their design makes it easier for the onlooker to check from below what is kept in which shelf. It’s a great solution for garage wall shelf. A very helpful feature of open wire design, especially for humid areas is that being open it allows for circulation of air, thus keeping away the problem of mold and mildew.
