Garage Storage Systems - Cabinets

Garage Storage Cabinet Systems consist of a group of related things or parts that function together as a whole, (the doors, shelves and drawers within) with the capacity to store or display goods.

Garage Storage Systems - Shelving

Garage Shelving Storage Systems provide a safe storage place for a wide variety of items. The shelves in a storage system are usually rectangular in shape, but can be customized to fit corners or specific needs. Shelves are usually measured in inches and feet.

There are many types of shelves. Most are solid (wood, glass, or metal) or open and ventilated (wire shelves).

Some are fastened to walls, others are part of a storage system (cabinet, workbench). They are either fixed in place, or have adjustable supports.

A shelf can be constructed from most any materials including plastics, fibers, wood, steel and wire. The amount of material and strength depend on design, features and intended use.

Uses for a storage shelf vary from storing loose household goods, office files, seasonal clothes, sports gear, tools, toys, trash, Christmas ornaments and containers.

Before placing any items or containers on a shelf, make sure the shelf, stand, supports and brackets are strong and secure enough to safely support the combined weight of the items and containers.
