Seven, eight, and 9 feet tall with lengths from 4 to 10 feet. Shelving depth of 18, 24, and 30 inches. If you rent a storage unit, you may be able to rent a smaller space because of the advantage these shelves give you. After all, you're paying for the space above as much as on the floor. Why not use it? I did and was able to rent a space 25% smaller, saving $30 per month. Plus the shelves allow me to get in and out of my storage unit faster because everything is easier to find. Building a new home? Don't let your garage turn into a dumping ground. Get these shelves installed immediately to help keep your new investment looking great. Older home with your garage already cluttered? Move the stuff into the driveway, let me bring in these shelves, then re-load the garage but have room for your car.
