What should you do before buying modular storage?
Measure your space
It’s an obvious one, but this is probably the most important step before you commit to buying modular storage units or a modular storage unit set.
Measuring the space where you want the storage to go – including the height from floor to ceiling – will help to ensure that you don’t end up in a situation where the storage you’ve chosen is too big.
Make sure you take into account any doors that may open or drawers that may pull out, as well as the space you’ll need to move around if you’re thinking of investing in an option with a workbench or worktop.
Choose the right storage for you
Now that you know the size of the space you have to work with, you can choose the best modular storage unit or set for that space and your budget. Think about what you’re going to be using it for, what items you plan to store and how much storage you need.
You’ll find the dimensions of our units and sets on the relevant product pages at Halfords.com, so you can see which are suitable for your available space.
Work out your storage configuration
This goes hand-in-hand with the above point, but it’s worth mentioning on its own because one of the major benefits of modular storage is the ability to create a bespoke space.
If you want two shelving units side by side for your tools, then you can have them. If you’d prefer a workspace with storage above and below, then you can create it. Just make sure your measurements are correct and you can use the space to your advantage.
