Big wall storage, without the ugly warehouse look. 🌲
This 4-Bay Book & Archiving Shelf Unit is built for customers who need serious storage space for books, files, lever arch folders, office records, school supplies, stock, décor, archive boxes, albums, containers and general home or business organisation — while still keeping the space warm, natural and good-looking.
With 4 equal bays, 24 shelves in total, and a slim practical 300mm depth, this unit gives you a full wall of organised storage that works beautifully in a home office, lounge, study, classroom, shop, archive room, storeroom, garage, admin office or business filing area.
No more files piled on the floor.
No more boxes stacked in corners.
No more “eish, where did I put that?” moments. 😄
Just clean, strong, modular pine storage that makes your space work.

🧱 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
• 6 x Double Uprights — 2100mm high
• 24 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, Files & Archiving
Books, files and paperwork get heavy fast — and this unit was made for exactly that.
Use it for:
• Books
• Lever arch files
• Box files
• Office records
• Archive boxes
• School books
• Family albums
• Retail stock
• Stationery
• Craft supplies
• Manuals
• Décor
• Containers
• Business paperwork
• Garage bits and bobs
Whether you’re sorting out a home office, school storeroom, business archive, shop display or garage wall, 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 because it’s modular, you can add more shelves later if you want tighter spacing.
Need bigger gaps for archive boxes? Adjust the shelves.
Need more rows for books or files? Add extra shelves.
Need to expand even further 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
• Magazines
• Catalogues
• 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. Stock, containers and archive boxes are even heavier.
Each shelf is designed to hold up to 100kg when evenly loaded, giving this 4-bay setup serious practical storage strength.
Strong enough for business.
Good-looking enough for home.
Flexible enough for both. 🇿🇦
🏠 Home, Office, Shop, School 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
• Filing room
It has the strength of proper storage shelving, but the natural warmth of pine — so it doesn’t feel cold, plastic or industrial unless that’s the vibe you want.
🏗️ 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 4 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 files, stationery, kids’ items, stock or admin storage
• Hooks & Rails for extra organising options
A canvas cover is a brilliant upgrade if you want to hide files, soften the look, protect items from dust, or make your shelving feel more styled in a home, office or shop.

• Oil it

• Seal it
Go natural and Scandi, dark and moody, bright and playful, or clean and professional — it’s your space, your vibe.
