Storage Planner
Turn your bins and boxes into the exact number of shelf units, linear feet of shelving, and floor space — before you buy a single unit.
FAQ
- How does the planner estimate shelf units?
- Everything converts to cubic feet — bins by size class, boxes at about 3 ft³ each — then divides by the usable capacity of one standard 36-inch-wide, 5-shelf unit at your chosen depth, rounded up to whole units.
- What shelf depth should I choose?
- 12-inch shelves suit pantries and light closets; 16-inch is the standard all-rounder; 24-inch deep shelving is for garages and basements with large totes. Deeper holds more but eats more floor space.
- Should I plan for extra capacity?
- Yes — storage needs grow. Add 15–20% headroom so you are not re-planning in a year. Round up a unit, or step up a depth class.
