Ample shelves in your garage can go a long way towards keeping items organized. You can create a lot of storage space by installing shelves on your garage walls, which allows you to utilize space that is often wasted in a garage.
In order to choose appropriate shelves for your garage, you need to consider what you need to store. If you are storing lightweight items, you might be able to utilize plastic shelves. These are lightweight and easy to install, but are not strong enough to hold heavier items, which can cause them to bend and bow over time. They are also more susceptible to breakage than sturdy metal shelves.
Wood Shelving Brackets
If you need to store heavier tools and equipment in your garage, solid metal shelves are a good option. Some styles of metal shelves are free-standing. When using this type of unit, it is advisable to attach the unit to the wall at the top, to eliminate the chance of it tipping over. Some metal shelves attach directly to the wall with brackets, which is a good use of space, and keeps the shelves off of the floor and out of the way of vehicles. Make sure to install them carefully, as it can be very dangerous if a shelf becomes detached from the wall and falls while holding heavy items.
Wire shelving is also a popular choice for garage storage. These metal wire shelves are usually coated in plastic, and can support heavier items, although they are not as strong as solid metal shelves. They do have the advantage of providing good ventilation and air circulation, which can be a plus in humid climates.
Adjustable, or "rail" shelving are mounted on horizontal rails that are attached to the garage walls. The shelves can then be installed anywhere on these rails, providing the ability to vary the height of your shelves to suit your needs.
You might also consider wood shelving for your garage. Hardwood shelves can be quite strong, but softer woods such as pine will have a tendency to sag over time. Longer shelves should have some sort of support in the center of the shelf to help keep them straight and secure. Wood can be adversely affected by temperature and humidity, and may not be a good choice in certain climates. However, wood can be very easy to work with, making it easy to create custom shelving options for your garage.
By choosing appropriate shelves for your garage storage needs, you will be able to keep your garage organized and everything handy and easy to find.
