Custom Garage Shelving in Sydney

Turn your garage from a crowded catch-all into a streamlined, practical storage hub with our custom-built shelving solutions. At Sydney Cabinet Makers, we design and install garage shelving tailored to your layout, lifestyle, and storage goals.


Our expertly built systems maximise vertical and hard-to-reach spaces, creating an organised and efficient garage environment. Because every garage is different, we customise each design for a perfect fit, whether it’s heavy-duty wall-mounted shelves, modular systems, or robust freestanding units. All shelving is constructed from durable, moisture-resistant materials to ensure it withstands daily wear, temperature changes, and heavy loads.


Proper garage shelving not only improves organisation but can also boost your property’s appeal. Our designs keep your belongings protected from dampness, pests, and accidental damage while making them easy to access. With a tailored solution, you can reclaim valuable floor space and enjoy a garage that works as hard as you do.

Tailored Garage Shelving Solutions to Maximise Space


We specialise in creating custom garage shelving solutions tailored to your unique needs. Our team of skilled professionals ensures a seamless process from initial assessment to final installation.


On-Site Assessment and Planning


We begin with a thorough on-site assessment of your garage space. Our experts measure the area, noting any obstacles or special requirements. We discuss your storage needs, preferences, and budget to develop a personalised plan.


During this phase, we consider factors like:

  • Available wall and floor space
  • Ceiling height and structural support
  • Types of items to be stored
  • Frequency of access needed


We use this information to create a detailed plan that maximises your garage's storage potential.

We present you with 3D renderings of the proposed design for your approval before proceeding to production.


Installation and Finishing


Our skilled installation team works efficiently to bring your garage shelving project to life. We use high-quality materials and fixtures to ensure durability and safety.


The installation process typically involves:

  1. Preparing the garage space
  2. Securing wall-mounted components
  3. Assembling free-standing units
  4. Installing any additional features (e.g., workbenches, pegboards)


We apply finishing touches like edge banding and paint touch-ups for a polished look. Our team conducts a final inspection to ensure all shelving is secure and meets our quality standards. We clean up the work area, leaving you with a transformed, organised garage space ready for immediate use.
