I got mine from Macro / Costco. Can't remember which. Chrome plated wire shelving with castors on the bottom so easily moved around if need be.

This sort of thing:

SWMBO is gradually filling it up with food, but I'll be a little liberal with the antifreeze soon and it'll solve that issue. ;)

Daz, get an Exchange and Mart Mag on thursday it's full of stuff like this both new and S/H

Also Autotrader used to have a section for stuff like garage equipment.

Then there your local Admag.

Plus of course Ebay, Just search for "Four Post" and dont look at the beds, plus "Dexion" and there should be loads on offer, then set a distance to see whats closest and best value to you.

Plus as daft as it is, search on Facebook, there are all sorts of stuff for sale

Local car auctions, Bawtry for example used to have a monthly Plant and machinery sale, anything from a sythe to a ton of dexion could be on offer.

Local free adds and bumble bee etc are worth a nosey.


If all else fails put wanted adds on any of the above inclused the wanted pages on ebay.

All the best, I hope you find what you are looking for.   :y

True, but it's rather vague.  Members have to read the post to find out whether they can assist etc.
'I am after', 'Help needed', 'Anyone got',  'O.M.G', 'Unbelievable', 'Will this fit', 'Excellent', 'Can anyone' etc. etc.  :-/


I do hope you get what you're after tho' !  :y

How about reusing old kitchen base and wall units. I was lucky I had good benches in my garage but I have many kitchen wall units in my garage and shed.

Usually can get given them for free as well.

I will PM you next time with my questions then you can point me perhaps in the right direction.  :-/

Thanks I am sure I will get what I need   :y

I am very Grateful for all the searching you Guys have done for me, but I may have found the exact shelving I need by chance. I had a bench delivered today with Vices etc almost like the ones we had at school in woodwork lessons  ::) and this same guy tells me he can get shelving :y so apparently tomorrow I am getting it delivered so fingers crossed it will appear. :y

If you're thinking of woodern shelves in your garage Daz, maybe an idea to get a few cans of wood preservative to make sure the wood doesn't rot earlier than you want.  Especially if you're going to put large heavy items on the shelves  :o

Glad you've got sorted :y

You see, what a helpful bunch were on here for you  :P  ;D  :y

I use Costco shelving in the garage - not the big stuff like Kevin Wood, but the £45 ones. They do take some weight - I also use them as a step ladder to get in the roof of the garage ;D


Kevin Woods are much bigger, but about 4 times the cost I believe...

 :y Yep, pretty much anything goes in 'General Discussion' and that's exactly where this kind of topic should be. That is not the issue.  As the Forum Guidelines advise...give some kind of clue as to what the topic is about.

I am after racking,  I need racking,  Looking for racking,  Suggestions on racking.   
(Although it sounds like it should now read 'I WAS after racking'  :y)

I bought a load of racks from fleabay. It was from a Vx dealership closing down. A whole load of racks for £50, pretty substantial ones at that. Trouble was I had to dismantle them on site, and carry out through the building to the van. And there were no lights  :-X

Beware some business sellers sell "bays " of racks. They assume that you are going to join them together so you don't get 4 uprights per bay. And one clown is selling "heavy duty" racks. They are absolutely c**p, the locations are pressed out of the uprights, and a slight sideways push ruins the metal tongues and they collapse.

Nope. Mine was no more than £50 or so. Might have been a special though.

I did get another type that had solid wooden shelves and kinda charcoal coloured angle metal supports with screwless assembly. Again, pretty substantial.

Depends what the pink one wants to store, really. Engines, gearboxes, etc. or cam belt kits, air filters and oil cans? :-/
