Shelf Buying Guide

1. Type of garage shelf

• Metal shelves
• Wire shelves
• Wooden shelves
• Self-enclosed shelves
• Adjustable rail shelves

2. Capacity

While a shelf may be extremely large, that does not mean it can handle all of the different items you may want to store on it.For instance, if you are looking to keep bags of concrete off of the ground, you will need to make sure the shelves can handle the weight capacity. Assuming you take care of the space requirements, this is arguably the next most important quality of a shelving unit.

3. Size

Different shelving units will offer more or less space and in different configurations. One thing that affects this is the number of actual shelves that come with the unit .Another factor to consider is along what increments of size the shelves can be adjusted -if any.

While it might be necessary to seek the most storage space possible, you will also want to make sure that the shelving unit fits in the area you intend to place it.If you can, shelving units with wheels will allow you some leeway when figuring that last part out.
