I bought some used industrial shelving units. Also known as pallet rack shelving. I bought 2 identical units and the seller delivered them to my home. It's used but in terrific shape. Galvanized too! They were once used in a freezer unit. Anyway, these are the perfect size for my shop. They are tall enough to be over my head and strong enough to hold whatever I want to put on them. I just need to add a few sheets of 3/4" plywood for the shelves. Each unit is 9' X 9' and 42" deep with enough pieces to make 2 shelves per unit.

Might even wait for the lift to be installed. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | Our club got used pallet racks for our aircraft hangar, work great.

Having a forklift makes pallet racks much better than without.
If/when I get more garage space it’ll include a 40’ long, and quite tall, wall with pallet rack shelving. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 273 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 273 | Mine are 36" deep. Got 'em from a building I used to work in when we "upgraded" the maintenance shop. The property manager said "throw 'em in the garbage bin" to make room for the new shelving.  So much for "recycling". My supervisor wrote me a receipt for $5 to show anyone I didn't steal 'em if anyone saw me loading them into my truck. I used 3/4" plywood too.
