CORNER SHOP SHELVING UNITS

Internal corners are used to join two runs of retail wall shelving together to form one continuous run of shelving.  This can be extended further to include a third run to form a continuous U shaped run of wall shelving.  The most common type of internal corner shelving is the 90 degree internal corner shop shelving unit (pictured below) which requires a clear corner area.

These internal corner units should be selected with the same size of base and upper shelves as the adjoining units. This enables the run to be continuous. The back panels used on these corner shelving units are 665mm wide. We would advise allowing a gap of at least 750 – 800mm to ensure that there is adequate space.

To assemble the corner bays, we suggest putting up the two 665 joined bays first, then inserting the shelf brackets. Next, bend the entire unit into the right angled shape necessary for the corner shelves to be fitted. It is vital that the base feet adjusters are used to ensure that this unit is standing absolutely level. Watch the video on the useful information website page to see how to do this.

Although the basic corner shop shelving bay is shown on this website, it is possible to create corner units with perforated peg panels or with slat panels. Give us a call on 01752 829467 to discuss your requirements. We also carry a stock of 45  degree internal corners which can be used when there is not a clear corner space available (such as if there are pipes running up the wall). External corners which connect around 270 degrees are also available.

SHOP SHELVING FOR GARDEN CENTRES

Deciding on the shop shelving and shop fittings to best suit the layout of a garden centre has unique challenges due to the changing nature of the products sold throughout the year.

As the seasons change so the type of products that are sold changes dramatically.  For example, not many lawn mowers are sold in November nor garden furniture in September.  In Springtime,  an attractive display of plant food or bug killer might be the best use of display area. Alternatively,  a large display of Christmas decorations is a more profitable option from October to December.  To further complicate issues, certain gardening products such as plant ties or small tools are often best displayed hanging on either pegboard or slatwall hooks. Others such as fertiliser or boxed products are better suited to being displayed on shop shelving.

Shop Shelving for a Garden Centre.

The extreme seasonality of garden centres added to the diverse range of products sold means that it is vital to make the retail shelving units as adaptable as possible to be able to cover all future needs. This can be achieved in a number of ways. Firstly, if the majority of shop shelving units are the same size (e.g. 1250mm length) then shelves can be interchangable throughout the shop, allowing a different number of upper shelves to be put onto units depending on the size of products to be stocked. Also, it is a good idea to put peg or slat backs on all units as well as shelves. When shelves are removed then hanging display areas are instantly created.

Obviously the size of shop shelving units required varies depending not only on the available space but on the size of the products to be displayed. SWSF offers a wide range of sizes ranging from extra shallow shelves (250mm) right up to extra deep (670mm). This ensures that the smallest pack of rooting powder to the largest bag of compost can be suitably displayed. Hooks for hanging products are also available in a huge and varied array of sizes and types.

It is advisable to create a blank canvas on which to best show off the products, and so it is best to stick with neutral coloured shelving for this reason. Any store or brand colours can be easily created by altering the epos colour without detracting from the attractive array of products for sale. For added visual impact either plain or light up canopies can be added.

With a bit of smart retailing and some brand new shopfittings and shop shelving you can ensure that your garden centre is a delight to shop in all year round!
