Wire Closet Shelving

Wire Closet Shelving For Economic Clothing Storage


One of the materials that has become popular for storage generally over recent years has been wire based units. If “wire” makes you think of chicken wire, then forget it; those in the know recognize that strong modern powder-coated wire can not only look neat and modern, but can actually be quite strong. That is why wire closet shelving is worth considering

Wire shelving and racks are not just for the home. Their use in commercial warehouses, factories, retail stores and other commercial enterprises tells you that wire closet shelving is going to be strong enough to accommodate your clothing and that of the family. Of course, you have to seek out and buy reasonable quality wire closet shelves; but, that applies to just about anything you buy for the home: you get what you pay for.

One thing you will find is that wire closet shelving is economically priced, an important reason for it being a popular choice for closet storage, as well as storage racks in the kitchen, garage and garden shed. Used wisely, wire shelving can provide a lot of our home storage needs at reasonable cost.

One of the good points of wire shelves is that they can often have multiple uses. An example of that is the Whitmor 6058-90 Supreme Garment Rack. This is has a durable steel construction and a chrome finish. This is a simple 70 inch tall rack, with a width of 36 inches and depth of 18 inches. It costs under $70. You can use its hanging rail for hanging your clothes, as a wire closet shelving for the home; or it could be used in a retail outlet, restaurant or other commercial outlet where workers, customers or clients need to hang their coats and jackets. Another example from Whitmor which has multiple uses is the Whitmor Supreme Stacking Shelf, also in chrome, which sells for about $20.

One company that sells complete wire closet shelving and hanging rail systems is ClosetMaid. A typical example is the ClosetMaid 5636 SuperSlide 5-to-8-Foot Closet Organizer in white. These wire based bedroom closet systems has hanging rods built into the shelf, is said to be easy to set up (and it looks it), has 9 feet of hanging space, plus 15 feet of shelf storage.
