Source for garage fittings?

[Haltamer]

In the process of doing up the garage, and I'd quite like to pick up somme handy accessories:- Mostly, wall storage for my detailing supplies and tools (Wall-mounted shelving would be good; Preferably with a lip to help prevent things being knocked / falling - Not a great deal of floor space, but some on the walls), but also some nice touches - Things like a shop towel dispenser, perhaps a glove dispenser and the like.

Looking around, I can see lots of things in America - Shelving with integrated towel roll; dedicated shelving for oil bottles and the like, but I can't seem to find anything in the UK.

Ebay, Amazon, B&Q and Machine mart all seem to have the regular floor mount racking and so on, but not really what I'm looking for:- Any suggestions for suppliers?

Haltamer,
Shelves are dust traps - that's why every housewife or househusband spends time dusting. And garages are dusty places , even if you're not sanding down or rust removing! You're better off with cupboards, or else racks that hold draws or covered containers.

"LinBins" that come in many sizes are popular but are uncovered, save for the next bin up, and collect dust. I have Dexion shelving for large items, and have arranged a curtain,a polypropylene sheet to hang in front and keep the worst of the dust out. Small items go in chests of small drawers, wall mounted, and tools on wall racks, which can be configured as you wish.

I lined the walls of my garage with shelving consisting of wooden boards cantilevered from the wall using cheap pressed metal L brackes. It was cheap and produced reasonably strong shelving. Installation was a two step process: nail a board to the wall to give a vertical level for the brackets and screw all the brackets to the wall, then lay the boards in place and screw them to all the brackets. Almost all my stuff is stowed in boxes so I didn't need any sort of lip on the shelves, but if you want one it would be easy to pin an extra strip to the front edge.
