Storage Sheds: Shelving and Racking Solutions

Nowadays, people are acquiring more and more stuff. They buy them, received them as a gift, or hand me downs from parents, grandparents, or great - grandparents and so on. It doesn't matter how the objects were obtained, what matters is that they are taking up too much space in the room.

Yes, because of how people collect and hoard objects and trinkets of sorts, many houses are starting to fill up with so many of these things that sometimes, we find having little available space for ourselves and our family. For example, it happens that a spare room, which could be turned into something more useful like a study or a guest's bedroom, is filled with old things like the toys and clothes your child has outgrown, or those seasonal items (snowboards, surf boards, etc.), and even some broken items that you couldn't bear to part with.

This is why storage sheds are built. This wonderful extension of our homes adds both functionality and aesthetic value to our homes.
However, it also happens that people tend to just throw their things in the storage shed, leaving it in heaps of clutter and mess. This is not only unsightly to look at, but can also prove to be dangerous and sometimes fatal for you and the rest your family.

One solution that you can consider to solve this problem is by installing more shelves and racks in your storage shed. They are very handy when it comes to holding your tools and equipments in place and out of the floor.

Basically, there are two types of shelves that you can use for your storage shed. One is a wall mounted type which you can install in the interior walls of your shed, and the other is a free standing shelf.
Wall mounted shelves can become permanent parts of your storage shed should you choose it to be so. They are generally better than free standing shelves in the sense that the walls of the shed provide extra sturdiness and thus allow your shelves to hold heavier things.

However, poorly constructed wall mounts can prove to be dangerous, because if the whole item falls down, it can bring your wall crashing along with it, too.

Free standing shelves are those that stand on their own and do not need to support of your storage shed's walls. You can have these free standing shelves built with wheels, so that it will be easier to move them around especially when you are cleaning the storage shed. The only problem is that if the wheels are loose or if your area is frequented by strong earthquakes every now and then (such as the case of Japan), you will find the shelves transferring from one part of your storage shed to another.

Whether you choose to have a wall mounted shelf or free standing racks is up to you. What you need to consider the most is the sturdiness of the shelf that you are having built for your shed in order to make sure that they are able to serve their function for a long time to come.
