Entropy is a concept that says the universe prefers chaos to order. If you’ve ever tried to organize a workshop, garage, or storage closet, you probably are already familiar with this theory.
But any workspace can be quickly and conveniently organized with the addition of a few shelving units. Shelves provide a simple solution to organizing clutter so that you can increase productivity and efficiency and counteract the forces of the universe — at least in your small corner of it.
Free Standing Shelves
The most common type of shelving is free standing shelves made out of steel, wire of plastic. These convenient and affordable shelving units can be assembled quickly and come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and shapes.
The biggest benefit of free standing shelves is that they can be customized to fit any space, regardless of how big or how small. You can also add to their versatility by adding removable bins, baskets, or hanging baskets.
Free standing shelves also can be fitted with casters, which makes it a simple matter to move them around or rearrange them at will.
Adjustable Shelves
For a more permanent organization solution, you might consider adjustable shelves. These feature rails that can be bolted to a wall of inserted into footings, then fitted with brackets on which the shelving units themselves sit. The rails and brackets are usually made of steel or some other durable material while the shelves themselves can be made of steel, wood, or even plastic.
The benefit of adjustable shelves is right there in the name: They’re adjustable. You can modify the height of your shelves or the spaces between the shelves instantly to fit items of various sizes.
Once your rails are installed, you also can fit them with brackets of various sizes in order to accommodate the storage of various sized items, such as plastic storage bins, cardboard boxes, or wire baskets.
Drawer ShelvingÂ
If you have a lot of small items to organize — such as nuts, bolts, and other construction materials — drawer shelving offers the solution you ned. These space-efficient units let you keep items separated so it’s easier for you to locate exactly the item you need when you need it.
Drawer shelving usually is free-standing, rather than bolted to a wall, so it can be moved around to fit your space needs. You also can get drawer shelving units that are fitted with casters so they can be relocated quickly and easily.
Gravity Flow Shelving
The shelves on gravity flow shelving are angled downward so that the items stored on them are naturally pushed to the front of the shelving by gravity. These type of shelves can be filled from the back so they are convenient for storing items using the first-in first-out inventory system.
