Tool storage moving house to flat

Murmansk · 2017-01-14T09:55:05+00:00

I'm going to be moving from a 3 bed 1930s semi with garage to a one bedroom flat in Victorian house which has massive rooms with high ceilings but not much in the way of storage space for my tools. All there is really is the under stairs area and I'm looking for suggestions as to how best to store my tools both in this kind of a flat generally and in the under stairs area.

Dexion type shelving but assembled to full height. Curtain across front if needed. Mass produced furniture can be toughened up to take tools etc, if it needs to look 'normal'

We discussed 'slot together' shelving some months ago, following which I bought several sets. I'm really pleased with them, and they may be the answer to the OP's problem, particularly when combined with plastic bins for storage and a simple curtain to hide.

See eBay 351784249802 for an example. Various width and depth options.

There's also Ikea hejne, but the uprights are inadequate.

I bought several permutations last summer, and have been delighted with them. It may not be obvious, but the ones five shelves high are two single units, stacked. Given your high ceilings, you could probably stack another half unit on top. Secure to the walls, though.

Late breaking thought... I have a set of tubular slot together shelves in my work shop which are fitted with a robust set of wheels...I don't know the source as these came second hand but there are lots out there.
