Garage shelving

[DanielJames]

Can anyone recommend some good shelves for in the garage? Need to be able to hold car parts etc nothing too heavy the sturdier the better...

Looking for something like this, has anyone bought this kit?

Costco have a few different styles for sale, some pretty heavy duty but not too expensive.

Dexion.

Ikea Gorm shelves are cheaper and can be bought in several sizes to fit your needs and garage spece.

I bought a load of shelves from Big Dug who are the company in your second link and have had no problems after 3 years of pretty heavy use. Recommended. If you order by 'phone they seem to have some space to haggle as well e.g. single shelf at the 5 off price or something like that.

Its what I have in my garage and I've been very pleased with them to date.

costco shelfs are better and cheaper

In a rare foray into Homes & Gardens, i thought I'd chuck in another vote for costco.
I bought 3 packs of their industrial racking, arranged my own configuration, 2 lots of 5 shelve units, and 2 lots of 3 shelves (using the floor under 1 of them).
They clip to each other and are absolutely rock solid.

Great purchase

If you can get them cheap enough i.e less than 36 a bay then go for it from ebay etc.
Machinemart do Clarke braned shelving - 5 tiers with 150kg limit per shelf.

Homebase/ Argos do a similar style shelf to all the above at 24.99 but haven't had stock for a while now !

Type 'Costco shelves' into google images. The chromed one in the second picture is about £70 in my local costco I recall. Looks pretty chunky.

Saying that, that picture is from a website saying they are dangerous!. Mine hasn't fallen on me yet...

I'm sure they were only £50 per unit, they had a more expensive (industrial) version which was £110 I think, but thought the £50 one was fine, and it certainly was.
So the 3 cost me £150, bargain at twice the price.
I thought I had pictures here, but can't find them, so will have to wait until I get home, unless someone beats me to it.

A quick google shows these are the very same shelves: http://www.marktighe.net/2011/03/costco-shelves.ht...
Although I've got 3 lots of them.

Hmm they look to be about 30cm deep judging by the guys boots!

Where as you can get 3 45cm deep ones from bigdug for around £120+del

So about the same price but for more space?

Interesting observation, but I'm sure they're more than a foot deep! :S
Will measure them when I get home!

2 foot deep? sounds attractive! Doesnt look it in the pictures, but you're a doctor after all

[Trustmeimadoctor]
