Engineered for effortless manual loading, it delivers a 175 kg capacity per shelf to easily support up to 875 kg total load weight across a durable, wear-resistant frame.

Selecting a five-tier shed shelving unit provides an ideal balance between vertical organisation and robust weight management. Each independent steel tier easily carries 175 kg of evenly distributed load, giving you full confidence when storing heavy power tools, hardware crates, or dense workshop equipment. Having five distinct levels allows tradespeople and householders to separate daily gear from bulky seasonal supplies effortlessly. This high-capacity structure prevents shelf bowing, ensuring your stored inventory remains safe, accessible, and perfectly tidy throughout demanding commercial or home projects.

Measuring 180 cm in height, 90 cm in width, and 40 cm in depth, this single-bay shed shelving unit optimises available floor space without restricting movement. The 40 cm depth easily holds large archive boxes, paint tins, and bulky toolcases without overhang. Because the individual levels are fully adjustable, you can easily alter tier heights to accommodate taller equipment or compact storage bins. This versatile layout ensures every cubic centimetre works effectively, making it an essential addition for maintaining clean walkways and seamless access across busy work areas.

Built around sturdy steel upright frames, horizontal cross beams, and solid metal shelves, this shed shelving unit offers a rapid, hassle-free setup process. The innovative slot-in framework requires no bolts or screws, allowing you to fit the beams directly into the upright posts with absolute ease. This straightforward mechanical construction guarantees structural rigidity under heavy daily use, eliminating loose fittings over time. You gain a durable, wobble-free framework that stands up to demanding workplace requirements while taking minimal effort to assemble from scratch.

Coated in a professional matte black finish, the shed shelving unit combines modern aesthetic appeal with essential surface durability. This protective layer guards the underlying metal structure against everyday wear, chips, and scuffs in busy operational environments. For facilities seeking alternative finishes or tailored layouts, our broader URBAN collection also includes galvanised steel options with 30 cm and 40 cm depth profiles. This flexibility allows you to select the precise coating and footprint required to create a cohesive, uniform storage system across your entire facility.

When choosing between different models, opting for a matte black shed shelving unit is the ideal choice for modern workshops, commercial stockrooms, or customer-facing backrooms. While industrial galvanised units excel in utilitarian environments, this dark matte alternative delivers an exceptionally clean, professional appearance without sacrificing raw load capacity. It integrates seamlessly into retail stock handling areas or sleek domestic workspaces, providing reliable high-density storage that keeps critical stock, tools, and heavy inventory organised, secure, and ready for immediate use.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Shed Shelving Unit Straight 1 Bay · 180x90x40 cm · Matte Black

Domestic use (garage, storage room)

In Ireland, a shelving unit fitted in the garage, attic or utility room of a private home is not governed by workplace safety law: the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Application Regulations 2007 bind employers, not householders. What does apply is general product safety. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR), applicable since 13 December 2024, requires that only safe products be placed on the market (art. 5) and that a distance-selling offer clearly shows the manufacturer's name, postal and electronic address and any safety warnings (art. 19); in Ireland it is enforced by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission under S.I. No. 726/2024, which also requires that this information, and the safety information supplied with the product, be in English (Reg. 5).. The Consumer Rights Act 2022 adds that goods must come with the installation instructions a consumer may reasonably expect (s. 18) and that an incorrect installation due to shortcomings in those instructions is a lack of conformity (s. 19). Our advice: anchor the unit to the wall against tipping and never exceed the stated maximum load per shelf.
