FAQs for French Cleat Shelves

1. What are French cleat shelves, and how do they work?

Our French cleat shelves are modular storage solutions designed to be easily mounted and moved on a wall-mounted cleat system. Each shelf attaches securely to the wall via angled cleats that interlock, allowing for quick rearrangement to suit your storage needs.

Yes, all Neat French Cleat shelves are designed to fit with standard French cleat walls, making them versatile for use in most workshop setups or any space using traditional French cleats.

3. What tools and materials do I need to install these shelves?

You’ll need a level, screws or wall anchors, and a drill to install the cleats on your wall. You’ll also need a laser cutter to make our modular shelves. Some CA glue will speed up assembly. Once the cleats are mounted, simply slide the shelves onto the cleats—no extra tools are needed!

4. Can these shelves hold heavy tools and equipment?

4. Can these shelves hold heavy tools and equipment?

Yes, our shelves are designed with strength and durability in mind. However, the exact weight capacity depends on the type of wall anchors. We recommend using strong anchors for heavier items and distributing weight evenly across the shelves.

5. What sizes are available for the French cleat shelves?

We offer a variety of shelf sizes, including single and double shelves at different heights (282mm, 380mm, and 462mm). They come a variety of widths. This range allows you to customize your setup for different tools and equipment sizes.

Absolutely! While our shelves are perfect for organizing tools, they can be used in garages, offices, kitchens, crafting studios, and even living spaces for holding supplies, décor, or anything you need to keep organized.

All Neat French Cleat shelves are modular and designed to fit within the larger Neat French Cleat system. This means you can mix and match different shelf types and adjust the setup as your storage needs evolve. You can make shelves that are larger than your laser bed if you use our jigsaw files. I often add hoos or dowels to hold consumables that go with certain tools.
