5 Garage Shelving Ideas

Back to the BiG BLOG

Having the space to store items that otherwise don't have a home or are in the way is great, but many people find it challenging to organise it in a way that is practical. However, you can transform your garage into a functional storage space and never struggle to find anything again by adding some shelving to your layout.

There are various shelving ideas for a garage to optimise and streamline the way that you use that space, and BiGDUG offers bespoke garage solutions that fit your needs. Known for our durable and functional products, we have just what you're looking for to turn your garage into a clutter-free space-saving environment.

A lot of people might use their garage as a workshop to tackle various repairs or DIY projects. If you want to organise your collection of tools while keeping access to them easy, BiGDUG pegboard shelves will help you transform your garage into a workshop space. This wall-mounted garage shelving idea is very effective.

Keep all your tools and equipment at hand in an organised way to tackle your projects with efficiency. Whether you’re into woodworking, maintaining your bike, or even doing some work on your car to save yourself a trip to the mechanic, pegboard shelving will save you time that you otherwise might spend looking for a specific screwdriver or chisel.

If you prefer garage shelving on the wall, you can optimise your garage storage by utilising an adjustable track system. A track system is made up from heavy-duty rails that are mounted on your wall. This is a simple way to use vertical space to keep your floor space uncluttered. You can attach bins, shelves or hooks to the rails depending on what you use them for.

Track systems can be a great solution for storing heavier items – they can have a capacity of over 200kg. They can be used for organising your tools and equipment, safe storage for your bike or even foldable garden furniture!

Always check the weight capacity and make sure that the material you purchase is compatible with your garage dimensions. Have the exact measurements at hand before making your decision – careful planning will ensure that you get the most out of your adjustable track system.

Add some wooden shelves if you want a more traditional look for your garage shelving. Wooden shelving creates that timeless, classic feel that metal shelves don’t have. Pick from a range of shades and sizes depending on your preferences and garage dimensions.

BiGDUG wooden shelving makes for just as durable and high-quality garage shelving as metal shelves. Your decision should be made with the result you want to create in mind. However, to keep your garage storage fully functional and practical, you need to decide what you want to store before installing any shelving.

While wooden shelves might be more to your liking, we strongly recommend metal shelving for heavy-duty tasks.

So, your garage offers limited space and you're looking for a way to keep your car in there while still creating storage space. Over car shelving might be just what you need! Our over car shelving is designed to allow you to park your car under the shelves. The individual boards are adjustable, so you can install them at the height that works for your vehicle.

Keep your parking space and don’t sacrifice floor space while still being able to store your gardening supplies or sports equipment in your garage. This is a practical solution for small spaces that still allows for storage.

A well-planned garage shelving setup is the simplest way to turn a cluttered area into a clean and organised space that works for you. Whether you prefer to free up floor space by using overhead and wall-mounted storage, or you need to make more room for your car, BiGDUG is here to make it easy with durable and practical solutions for every home garage.
