Big storage. Clean finish. Proper Garage Guys strength. 🌲
This 3-Bay Book & Archiving Shelf Unit is built for customers who need serious storage for books, files, lever arch folders, office records, school supplies, stock, décor, archive boxes and general home or business organisation — without making the space look cold, plastic or industrial.
With 3 equal bays, 18 shelves in total, and a practical 300mm depth, this unit gives you loads of vertical storage while keeping your space neat, warm and stylish.
Perfect for the home office, lounge, study, classroom, shop, archive room, storeroom, garage, admin office or business filing area.
No more files stacked in corners.
No more books lying sideways.
No more “I’ll sort it out later” piles. 😄
Just strong, beautiful pine storage that works.
📏 Overall Unit Size

Depth: 300mm
Bay Width: 924mm per bay
Shelf Size: 900mm wide x 300mm deep

This is a 3-bay modular unit, giving you three equal 924mm-wide sections side by side.
The 300mm depth is ideal for books, files and folders because it gives you proper storage space without sticking too far into the room. Lekker slim, but still strong. 👌
🧱 What’s Included in This Build
This unit is supplied as a build-it-yourself modular component kit.
Included:
• 4 x Single Uprights — 2100mm high
• 4 x Double Uprights — 2100mm high
• 18 x Standard Single Shelves — 900mm wide x 300mm deep
• Side dowel rods for book and file support
• Aluminium cross-brace support for stability
• Required screws and fixings included
The double uprights are used between the bays where the shelves connect, giving the full unit proper strength while keeping the layout neat, straight and modular.
📚 Built for Books, Filing & Archiving
Books, files and paperwork can take over quickly — shame, one minute it’s “just a few folders” and next thing the whole office is a mountain of admin. 😄
This unit helps you organise:
• Books
• Lever arch files
• Box files
• Office records
• School books
• Archive boxes
• Retail stock
• Display items
• Stationery
• Décor
• Manuals
• Craft supplies
• Business paperwork
• Home office essentials
Whether you’re sorting out your home, office, shop, school, storeroom or archive space, this unit helps keep everything visible, accessible and properly organised.
🔩 Adjustable Shelf Heights
The uprights are pre-drilled every 130mm, giving you flexibility to adjust your shelf spacing as your storage needs change.
This unit comes standard with 6 shelf levels per bay, but the modular design allows you to add more shelves later if you want tighter spacing.
Need bigger gaps for archive boxes? Adjust the shelves.
Need more rows for books? Add extra shelves.
Need to expand into a full wall system later? Add another bay.
That’s the beauty of Garage Guys — you’re not stuck with one fixed layout forever.
🪵 Side Dowel Support System
The side dowel rods fit into the pre-drilled holes along the uprights and help stop books, files and folders from falling sideways.
They’re especially useful for:
• Upright books
• Lever arch files
• Catalogues
• Magazines
• Manuals
• Folders
• Display storage
Simple idea. Big difference. Your files stay where they must stay. Sorted. 👌
💪 Strong Enough for Serious Storage
Books and files are heavy. Business records, stock and archive boxes are even heavier.
Each shelf is designed to hold up to 100kg when evenly loaded, making this 3-bay unit a strong, practical option for proper storage.
Strong enough for work.
Good-looking enough for home.
Flexible enough for both. 🇿🇦
🏠 Home, Office, Shop or Storeroom
This unit works beautifully in so many spaces:
• Home office
• Lounge bookshelf
• Study or reading corner
• School classroom
• Retail shop display
• Business archive room
• Admin office
• Craft room
• Garage storage
• Storeroom
• Small warehouse
It has the strength of practical shelving, but the natural warmth of pine — so it doesn’t feel harsh or industrial unless that’s the vibe you’re going for.
🏗️ Freestanding or Wall-Fastened
You can use this shelving as a freestanding unit, or fasten it to the wall for extra peace of mind.
The aluminium cross-brace support helps keep the structure firm and stable.
For taller units, heavy books, business archives, children’s spaces or busy office areas, we always recommend fastening where possible.
Better safe, stronger and sorted.
🧱 Modular Like LEGO
This is not just a bookshelf.
It’s part of the Garage Guys modular system, which means you can build, change, extend and upgrade as your needs grow.
You can:
• Add extra shelves
• Add another bay
• Extend into a full wall unit
• Add canvas covers
• Add storage containers
• Add more uprights
• Reconfigure it if you move
• Use the same components in a new layout later
Start with 3 bays now. Add more when your books, files, stock or business grows.
No need to throw it away and start again. Just build onto it. 👊
➕ Popular Add-Ons to Consider
Make the most of your setup by adding:
• Extra Standard Shelves if you want more than 6 levels per bay
• Single Uprights if you want to extend your system later
• Aluminium Cross Braces for extra stability on larger layouts
• Canvas Covers to cover the front and create a cleaner, softer, more finished look
• Storage Containers for documents, stationery, kids’ toys, stock or office admin
• Hooks & Rails for extra organising options
A canvas cover is a great upgrade if you want to hide files, soften the look, protect items from dust, or make your shelving feel more styled in a home or office.

More storage. Better finish. One delivery mission. Sorted. 😄
🎨 Natural Pine Finish
Made from natural pine timber, this unit gives you that warm, organic, clean look that works in both home and business spaces.
Leave it natural, or finish it your way:
• Oil it
• Wax it
• Stain it
• Paint it
• Seal it
Go natural and Scandi, dark and moody, bright and playful, or clean and professional — it’s your space, your vibe.
