Shelves for garage

[beege]

Evening all, this is my first post so first of all.... hi and apologies if this is the wrong forum.

I’m looking to install some shelving in my garage but I’m unsure what the best wood is to use.
I want them about 2m wide and 60cm deep, they will be used for storage boxes.

Thanks in advance

After building my garage, I spotted a load of lengths of angle iron and a welder going very cheap, so bought them, cut and welded them to make 4x lots of shelves. I still have the electric welder. I made the shelf decks from pallet wood.

Plenty of choice really, consider Spur type shelving from floor to ceiling and 18mm ply....lots depend on what weight you need to carry. Extra supports may be useful at the outside shelf corners.

That looks like it would be ideal, thanks for the suggestion

Sounds like a good idea but in all honesty I’m being really lazy and literally want something I can just screw to the wall in minimal time with very little effort
After being in the house nearly 5 years I’m starting to get a little fed up with a messy garage now.

Thanks so much for the suggestion though, it is appreciated.
