Any problems with steel shelves in the garage and the florida humidity

Steel Shelves Work Fine In Garage Suggest Wood plates under the uprights

FL garages are hotter than outside but the relative humidity is actually less than outside. The water content in the garage air is the same as outside, but the increased temperature actually reduces the relative humidity so it is "drier" so to speak. Mold and rusting are not a problem as long as you do not create puddles with bringing a wet car into the garage. |

I have metal cabinets since 2013, NO rust (from Home Depot and needed assembly), chrome plated shelving for several years, also no rust, and recently installed wire rack shelving that was previously installed in another garage, also with no rust.

Both will work, have had steel shelving in Va and did rust some but here we have plastic which was easier to install at my advanced age.
|
I've used the same metal shelves for 6 years and I've seen no sign of rust. One consideration is that plastic becomes brittle faster in very hot environments.
|
I have the galvanized steel racks with wheels on the bottom. No issues...

I used shelving kits from two by four basics. Very easy to custom build and will pass the test of time. Best of luck with your project.

Plastic or metal
I recommend metal shelves on wheels. I got mine from Costco. The wheels make it easy to move for cleaning and I have not had any issues with rust. Plastic will sag and become brittle over time.
My 2 cents |
I just repliaced my plastic shelves, which became brittle and started to break, with steal shelves. I feel the steal shelves take up a little less room.

We bought good quality plastic shelves for the garage 23 years ago. They are still going strong. Good quality plastic made for the garage are worth buying. We bought ours at Home Depot.
