Garage Shelving Ideas

If you’re setting up a work room in the garage, you need creative garage shelving ideas to get you started. Let us help you organize tools, equipment and other stuff with our line of heavy duty garage storage shelves.

Many people set up work areas in the garage; it’s the natural place for messy jobs like woodworking and engine repair. You can create a work bench and shop environment once you’ve gotten all the other clutter out of the way. The addition of shelving is the best way to begin organizing the various types of things that end up in the garage.

The primary goal is to clear out a space for working. The result will be an organized, neat room where things are accessible, but not under foot. We have a wide range of garage shelving ideas to get the job done.

You can buy some wood planks and wall brackets and start hammering away. But that’s a lot more work and time than you might to invest; you have to find wall studs, and make sure all the brackets are level before starting. And, you’ll want to make sure shelf strength is a good match for the weight of items to be stored there. It’s not the quickest or best solution for storing things, though there are some advantages to wall shelves for storing less frequently used items.

The quickest and easiest way to deal with those items is to use free standing garage storage shelves, particularly those with wheels. We have a wide variety of units to choose from in our inventory. We have wire shelving, strong solid steel units, and closed or traditional looking cabinets made of steel. Each has advantages. The wire style is perfect for holding lighter weight objects and things that might benefit from air circulation. The steel units are sturdier and designed to hold heavy duty materials. Both are on wheels giving you the flexibility to change the room around when necessary. You can set up a temporary work room and roll the shelving units in place as ‘walls.' There’s no need for heavy lifting or recruiting another pair of hands when you’ve got wheeled units.

Another popular line of merchandise we carry is our closed garage shelving units, made from heavy steel with adjustable shelves. These have solid backs and sides and are designed to be stationary. This type of storage unit works well against a wall or can be used to create a wall or corner as needed. This is a great way to screen off a messy work area or keep valuable tools out of sight in the garage.

If you have lots of little items to be stored, you can check out our custom garage cabinets that come stocked with plastic storage bins. These keep similar items together, visible and within reach, but not scattered around the room. Everything is at your fingertips, making your job so much easier. And while these are designed for work usage, you can be creative and use the bins for family or household items as well. And, by labeling the front of the bin everyone will know where items belong. They’re the perfect size for work gloves, outdoor toys, soccer cleats, and accessories or other things that might end up on the floor in piles.
