If you walk into your tool shed and everything is lying around and looks disorganised you may want to add some rack shelving in order to tidy everything away. Over the years you have probably collected your fair share of tools and you have a shed to put them in but you don't have any shelves to help you keep hammers in one section and screwdrivers in another.

You have a lot of rack shelving to choose from when you begin your project for organisation. You can choose from tall shelves, wide shelves, corner shelves, or custom design shelves that are made to fit your shed. You want a shelf that is durable and able to withstand as much weight as you want to add to it.

You can also buy shelves that are painted. If you are trying to create a specific theme in your shed then you can paint the shelves to match the colour of your favourite car or sports team. You can have an area to place your auto tools in your garage so you can work on your cars. Invite all your friends over for a car themed weekend and place a television in the shed so everyone can watch appropriately themed TV or films.

If you are not sure ...
... what type of rack shelving you need take a look online at all the selections you have to choose from. You may find something that you like and have to order it online or you may find something that you can find at your local home improvement store.

Before you start looking for the right rack shelving you will need to take some measurements to determine how much shelving you need. If you want to add shelves in the corner you will need to measure how tall you want the shelves and the width of the shelves.

You may want to draw a sketch design of your wall and list all the shelves you will need and how you want them mounted. This will give you more of an idea of what to look for when you are online and what to purchase.

Rack shelving can be made of different material; wood, metal or plastic. What you choose depends on several factors; your budget, your walls, and what you are using the shelves for. If you are creative you may want to order a plain shelf and paint it or design it to fit your theme.

You can use your rack shelving for garden tools, auto tools, home repair tools, or for all of these and more besides. It makes searching for a tool much easier. You can even label your rack shelving so you will be able to find them or when you ask someone else to get a tool for you. They will know exactly what shelf they need to look on. Create a new look and place your rack shelving in different locations and at different heights. You can create a tool section for your young mechanic and give them their own shelving.
