Want more storage space in your garage? Is all your stuff in a jumble lying around the garage or utility room taking up valuable space?

The solution is adjustable shelves and we are going to show you the best adjustable shelves. So you can reclaim that wasted space and untangle the jumbled mess.

Types of adjustable shelves

There are three types of adjustable shelves. You need to look at the type and material the shelves are made from.

Types of shelves are:

• • Free standing
  • Wall-mounted
  • Ceiling mounted

The materials that shelves can be made from are:

• Wood with metal hangers which the wood can warp and buckle
• Metal racks with wire or metal shelves are great for heavy loads
• Plastic racks with plastic shelves while they won’t warp and buckle are not as strong as metal

We recommend metal with wire or metal shelves. The reason for this is:

1. They are stronger and will hold up better
2. Metal is easier to wipe off and keep clean
3. Metal will not absorb spills of oil, grease, or paint thinner, etc.

Metal racks with adjustable shelves that are free-standing are a good choice if you have the room. They come with three, four, or five shelves.

The wire shelves are best it allows airflow around things like paint thinner, carburetor cleaner, brake cleaner, and other chemicals. Those items need airflow especially if you live in states like Florida, Texas, Arizona, or Nevada where the temperatures are often 100 plus during the summer.

However, if you are going to store things like nuts, bolts, washers, etc., store them in containers with lids first. That way if you accidentally knock it over, they will not spill all over.

When purchasing a shelving unit, look at the quality, durability, and warranty. Take measurements of the area you want to place the shelves before buying.
