Schools In Session! School Locker Shelving
Perhaps you are a student -- perhaps you are a parent, or even a teacher -- who is tired of seeing school lockers that look like they belong in a war zone! Fortunately for you, there are a lot of different types of school locker shelving options available today -- let me describe a few of them for you: One type of school locker shelving unit takes the familiar hanging file folder concept and turns it on its end. This shelving unit consists of a series of metal brackets which are held in place by a flexible fabric material. These shelves are great options for narrower lockers, as this shelving unit can actually expand or contract inside the locker. It can be suspended from an existing school locker shelf or inside hooks. Another nice thing about this school locker shelving unit is that it will leave room for coats and hats that may be worn. Another popular choice in school locker shelving are stackable wire shelves. These shelves can be put up in just seconds inside of any standard-sized locker. They are also stackable, meaning that you can put two or three such shelves into your school locker to provide additional storage space for books, shoes, backpacks and other items. One of the problems with traditional school locker shelving units is that smaller items such as pens and pencils, small tablets etc. can get lost or fall through the shelves. If you need to store smaller items in a school locker, magnetic shelving units can be purchased that attach to the inside walls or door of the locker. Being magnetic, these types of school locker shelves cannot hold really heavy things but are useful for neatly tucking away all the little things that might otherwise go missing. Another tried and true school locker shelving alternative is a hanging locker organizer. These resemble small garment bags that are often used when traveling -- the kind with a hook on one end for hanging in a clothes closet. These hanging locker organizers are really very simple to use: you just simply hang it inside the locker from a book or a shelf, and the organizer provides a number of pockets where you can keep all your stuff. In addition to serving as shelving storage in your school locker, these hanging organizers often include such things as a mirror, a message board for notes and communications, a photo frame, pockets for drinks and snacks etc. Finally when thinking about school locker shelving, don't forget the homemade shelf or divider. Many students will make their own school locker shelves from wood or metal as a shop project. They can also be made of plastic. I have seen plastic milk carton storage cases (the kind used by dairies) flipped on their side and used as shelves for school lockers. The homemade or do-it-yourself locker shelf is a good option if money is tight. But however you do it, don't put up with a mess in your school locker any longer -- get some school locker shelving today! |
