| Yes, its true if you are not a shelf enthusiast then you probably aren't aware of the different kinds of shelving out there or what each kind is suitable for. But storage shelving varies enormously from plastic bins to racking shelving. Plastic bins are often used in classrooms and also in kids bedrooms because of their low price, light weight and durability as well as the fact they you can wipe them clean which is always handy when there are mud covered kids running around the place. Storage boxes are another way of organising all your odds and ends. You know, the kinds of things you don't use or look at regularly but also that you don't want to throw away or donate to a charity shop. Racking shelving is another sort of storage on the market. It is basically a system of rods, bolted together to make a solid and sturdy structure, and then a series of adjustable racks that can be clipped, screwed or bolted on. Racking shelving is great for using in store and stock rooms because of its resistance against heavy use and also because of the fact that you can see in an instant what the unit contains. There is also archive storage, workbenches and galvanized shelving. Galvanized shelving is designed for use in a heavy duty environment so is perfect for construction sites and warehouses.
Depending on the use you plan to put your storage to different units will be best. Racking shelving is very versatile though. In fact some people say it is the most flexible of all the shelving types. This is probably due to the fact that it can be used anywhere. Another of its big plus sides is that you can assemble and transport the unit with complete ease. Even the most DIY phobic of people can put racking together in a matter of seconds. Remember though that if you aren't up for self-assembly most retailers will offer some sort of assembly service, although this will probably cost you extra money on top of the price of the units and delivery (if the company charges extra for its delivery service). Transportation of racking shelving is made easy because of the light weight nature of the shelving. Racking is of course perfect for trade shows, markets and festivals for this reason.
The web is completely saturated with companies offering storage solutions so it will be a piece of cake to find somewhere to buy from. Don't get distracted though, a lot of people find that because of the quantity of products available on the internet they land up buying things they don't need or want. Also if you are on a tight budget look for a company that offers interest free credit. This will mean you can pay the company back for your racking shelving in monthly installments. This makes the sum of money a bit more manageable. If you are trying to save the pounds then it is all the more crucial that you browse the web to make sure that you are paying the lowest possible price for the unit you want. |
