### Why Proper Shelving Matters
Because **badly fitted shelving collapses**. Then you've got tools and paint tins everywhere, probably damaged by the fall, and the shelving's knackered too.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Good garage shelving should last decades. Fit it once, fit it right, forget about it.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assess & Plan I'll check your wall type (brick, block, timber, plasterboard) and measure up the available space. This determines what fixing method we use. ### Step 2: Mark & Fix Level lines marked, shelving units assembled if needed, then fixed properly to the wall structure - not just surface-mounted. ### Step 3: Load Test Before I leave, we'll test that it's solid and level. You should be able to load it up with confidence.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Doing a full garage organization?** If you're planning workbenches, tool racks, or bike storage too, book it all together - I'm already there and it's more efficient. **Shelving types** - metal shelving is stronger and doesn't sag. Wooden/MDF shelving looks better but needs more support. I'll advise what suits your use. **Weight distribution** - heavier items on lower shelves is safer and more stable. Top shelves for light/occasional-use items. **Plasterboard walls** - if your garage has plasterboard-lined walls, we'll need to find and fix into the timber studs behind. Reduces the flexibility of positioning but ensures it won't rip out.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage shelving in Honiton
How much weight can garage shelving hold?
Depends on the shelving and how it's fixed. Properly fitted heavy-duty shelving into brick/block walls can hold serious weight - 100kg+ per shelf. Plasterboard-only walls are much weaker - I'll advise what's possible for your garage.
Do I need to buy the shelving or will you supply it?
Either way. If you've already bought shelving units, I'll fit them. If not, I can advise what'll work for your space and pick it up from the merchant. Saves you buying the wrong thing.
Can you work around stuff already in the garage?
Yes, but it's easier if the wall area is clear. If you can move things away from where shelving's going, it speeds up the job (and saves you money on my time).
What if my garage walls are wonky?
Welcome to Devon. Old garage walls are rarely plumb or level - I'm used to it. Shelving goes up level even if the walls aren't, using packers and shims where needed.
How many shelves should I get?
More than you think. Seriously - people always regret not doing more shelving when they had someone there. Fill the available wall space, you'll use it.
