FAQ
Is resin or steel better for garage storage?+
Resin units like the Keter cabinet resist rust and damp completely, making them ideal for unheated or leaky garages. Steel shelving offers higher weight capacity for heavy tools and equipment, but needs a dry space to avoid corrosion.
How much weight can garage shelving hold?+
Budget boltless units such as the VonHaus 5-Tier typically hold 150-175kg per shelf, around 875kg in total, which is enough for most tools, tins and seasonal boxes.
