This unit comes with 6 shelf levels included, but the design gives you room to adjust your spacing depending on what you’re storing.

You’re not locked into one layout — lekker flexible.
🪵 Side Dowel Support System
The side dowel rods fit into the pre-drilled holes on the uprights and help stop books, files and folders from falling sideways.
It gives the unit that classic book/archiving shelf feel while keeping the sides open and clean.

• Lever arch files
• Folders
• Magazines
• Catalogues
• Paperwork

A simple little feature that makes a big difference. 👌
💪 Strong Enough for Real Storage
This isn’t flimsy plastic shelving, shame.
This unit is built from natural pine timber and designed for proper everyday use.
Each shelf is designed to hold up to 100kg when evenly loaded, making it ideal for heavier books, files and office storage.
Strong enough for business.
Good-looking enough for home.
Practical enough for both.
🏠 Freestanding or Wall-Fastened
You can use this unit as a freestanding shelf, or fasten it to the wall for extra stability.
The included Aluminium Cross Brace helps keep the structure firm and stable, especially when loaded.
For taller units, heavy loads, children’s spaces, offices or high-traffic areas, we always recommend securing the unit where possible.
Wall fixing gives extra peace of mind — especially if you’re loading it with books or files.
🧱 Modular Like LEGO
This is where Garage Guys really shines.
You can start with one single bay now and expand later as your space grows.
Add another 900mm bay next to it.
Add extra shelves.
Add more uprights.
Add canvas covers.
Create a full wall of bookshelves.
Build an archive system for your business.
You’re buying a system — not a once-off shelf that becomes useless when your needs change.
Your storage grows when you grow. 👊
➕ Easy to Expand Later
Need more space later? No stress.
You can add:
• Extra Standard Shelves
• Single Uprights
• Aluminium Cross Braces
• Canvas Covers
• Storage Accessories
Small additions can turn one bay into a full home library, office filing wall, shop display or archive section.
🎨 Natural Pine Finish
The unit is made from natural pine timber, giving you a warm, clean and organic look.
Leave it raw and natural, or finish it your way:
• Oil it
• Wax it
• Stain it
• Paint it
• Seal it
Use it in a home office, lounge, study, shop, school, storeroom or archive room — it blends in beautifully without looking cold or industrial.
Natural pine just has that warm South African feel. 🌲🇿🇦
